Comedian Kevin Hart spotted wearing a Richard Mille

Who & what: Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson Titanium Ref. 555.45A.91-1 – Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart turned up on the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage wearing considerably more than a punchline on his wrist. Spotted clearly during the taping was a Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson, reference 555.45A.91-1 — a manually wound skeletonized sports watch that retails in the UK at £61,000 and commands serious attention in the secondary market.

The RM 055 was introduced in 2012 as a stripped-back alternative within the Richard Mille catalogue. Where many RM references lean into tourbillons and complex complications, the RM 055 makes its statement through architecture alone. The CRMA1 manually wound calibre — constructed from grade-5 titanium and ARCAP alloy components — beats at 21,600 vph and offers a 55-hour power reserve. The movement is fully skeletonized and visible through both the dial side and the sapphire caseback. The tonneau-shaped case in grade-5 titanium measures 49.9mm × 42.7mm and weighs just over 40 grams complete, a figure that belies its substantial visual presence.

The Bubba Watson editions hold a specific place in RM collector culture. Watson, a two-time Masters champion known for his unorthodox shot-making, was one of Richard Mille's earliest and most credible sporting ambassadors. The RM 055 bearing his name became a benchmark piece — serious enough mechanically, approachable enough aesthetically, and priced at a level that represented something of an entry point into the upper tier of RM production. Ref. 555.45A.91-1 features a white-toned skeletonized dial with red accents, giving it immediate recognizability at camera distance.

Hart has worn Richard Mille references on multiple public occasions and is among the more committed watch collectors in Hollywood. His appearances on late-night television have become a reliable stage for high-end wrist game, and the Kimmel sighting reinforces that his collection leans toward the athletic, technically credible end of the luxury spectrum rather than purely decorative pieces.

On the grey market, the RM 055 Bubba Watson references trade in the $70,000–$90,000 range depending on condition and provenance, comfortably above retail — a position that has held steady given Richard Mille's controlled production volumes and the enduring appeal of the Bubba Watson association. For a manually wound piece without a tourbillon, that premium speaks to the RM 055's standing as a genuine collector reference.
