Introduction to Romero Britto



Romero Britto is a Brazilian-born, Miami-based pop artist whose work has become one of the most recognizable visual languages in contemporary art. Born in Recife, Brazil in 1963, Britto moved to Miami in the late 1980s and built a career around vivid, pattern-dense imagery that draws on Cubism, Pop Art, and street culture simultaneously. His paintings, sculptures, and prints have been exhibited in over 100 countries, commissioned by corporations including Audi, Pepsi, and Mattel, and placed in permanent collections spanning Beverly Hills to Dubai. He has also produced public installations and humanitarian work that have kept his profile well above the gallery circuit and firmly in mainstream cultural visibility.

The Romero Britto watch collection, as far as public sightings confirm, runs toward the loud end of haute horlogerie — which is entirely consistent with the man. Britto has been spotted wearing a Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon, one of the most deliberately provocative references Richard Mille has ever produced. The RM 69 debuted in 2014 and features a titanium case measuring 50.15 mm × 42.70 mm × 16.35 mm, housing a manually wound tourbillon movement with a complications module that displays explicitly erotic phrases via three rotating discs — a mechanism Richard Mille calls the "Automaton." Production numbers are extremely limited and the piece rarely surfaces at public events, making Britto's appearance with one on his wrist genuinely notable among collectors.

The choice of the RM 69 over more conventional trophy pieces — a RM 011 or RM 035, for instance — says something concrete about how Britto approaches objects in general. He gravitates toward things that carry a conceptual charge, not just a price tag. The RM 69 is, in its own way, a piece of kinetic art housed in an engineering shell, and for an artist whose entire practice is built around cheerful transgression and color-saturated energy, that alignment is hard to dismiss as coincidence.

The Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon is arguably the most audacious complication the Swiss-Trinidad manufacture has ever produced — a tourbillon whose central display scrolls explicit erotic phrases generated by a dedicated 'roulette' mechanism, one of only 30 examples ever made. Pop art icon Romero Britto was recently spotted wearing the piece, a pairing that is almost too on-the-nose: the Brazilian-American artist built his career on bold color, provocative joy, and work that refuses to take itself too seriously — qualities the RM 69 embodies completely.
