Who & what: Richard Mille RM 07-01 or RM 67-01 Custom — Jeremy Strong as Kendall Roy in Succession

In a pivotal episode of HBO's Succession, Jeremy Strong — playing the perpetually embattled Kendall Roy — wore what sources confirm is a custom piece supplied directly by Richard Mille to the show's production. The sighting, captured mid-conversation on a sofa, reveals a slender, tonneau-adjacent case in what appears to be white or light-grey composite material paired with a steel or titanium bezel, sitting cleanly on Strong's wrist beneath a black polo.

From the image, the case architecture points toward the RM 07-01 or the RM 67-01 family — both defined by their elongated, ergonomic tonneau cases, skeletonized dials, and relatively compact proportions compared to Richard Mille's more aggressive round sports references. The RM 67-01 in particular — originally developed as an ultra-light athlete's watch at approximately 32 grams total — shares the slim profile and integrated bracelet geometry visible here. The dial appears to show a skeletonized layout with a white or cream baseplate, consistent with RM 67-01 variants produced in TPT Quartz or Carbon TPT composites.

Richard Mille has built an entire vocabulary around material science: Carbon TPT, Quartz TPT, and NTPT composites are layered at 45-degree angles in 45-micron plies, producing the distinctive wood-grain patterning that has become a house signature. Whatever the exact reference, the piece on Strong's wrist telegraphs precisely what Kendall Roy is meant to communicate — technical sophistication dressed down with calculated nonchalance.

For the collector community, a custom or one-of-one Richard Mille carries an inherent premium above already stratospheric retail prices. Standard RM 67-01 references list north of $130,000 USD, while bespoke or show-commission pieces exist in a grey zone that makes grey-market valuation effectively meaningless. The fact that the brand sent the watch to production rather than a prop house speaks to Richard Mille's aggressive cultural positioning.

Jeremy Strong's Kendall Roy has become one of television's defining portraits of dynastic anxiety, and the wardrobe team's decision to anchor the character in Richard Mille territory is narratively precise: it is a watch for people who need everyone in the room to know the number without saying it.
