Richard Mille is getting good at this. If you watched the men's 100 meter sprint last night, you were, whether you knew it or not, watching a Richard Mille advertisement. You see, he's followed up his lauded sponsorship of Rafael Nadal and Bubba Watson with an Olympic sprinter named Yohan Blake.

And, last night, Blake took the title of the world's (second) fastest man as he glided to the Silver medal in the 100meter sprint in London.
