Richard Mille

Nota: original post updated _______________________ It seems that a new Richard Mille RM70-01 Tourbillon is on its way as the brand has announced a partnership with former F1 champion (4 titles) Alain Prost . Indeed we learn now that it will be a 30-piece...  

I saw this on IG. I don't care for the shape, but RM is always thinking of new things. Let the money keep flowing. Congrats to any future buyers.

They kind of "play" in creating different shapes and complications, even if they are not that useful. I think a significant part of it is for the exercize of making something complicated and different, not in a serious way (like the Erotique or the 063). ... 

I don't like the new shape, ergonomic is a RMs feature but it seems too much (like in other asymmetric case)

I think it is more of an "exercize" (like the Erotique with rotating barrels or the 63). I 'm not really a fan of the asymetrical shape either (like on the 061 Yohan Blake) but it changes from usual and, on the wrist, I imagine that it can have a differen...

even if it is usually not our cup of tea. There are watches that you know you wouldn't buy but that you're happy it exists. Thanks Alkiro Best, Mark

Kilometers?!?

I guess it could "count" anything if there is just a pusher, or is it linked to something else (I doubt it)? Alain Prost likes cylcing so maybe it is just for the spirit, without a perfect practical side. We'll see. Best, Mark

I am a very intuitive and optimistic person... and my first impression is not great. I saw some videos of this and perhaps I will warm up to it but it does take some digesting for me at the very least.... is it supposed to be worn on the left or right wri... 

I would say it is more a kind of showcase watch, to emphasize the event of Alain Prost becoming an ambassador of the brand. Some clients will get it because they really like it, even if they are a few only. To answer your question, my guess is that it is ... 

Probably a $750k - $1m piece or there about.

There has to be something for everyone and diversity in offerings is a great thing! But do think this complication for a car driver is a bit funny since it does not measure how far or how fast he drives.... but I suspect he too has to use his feet to move... 

Never thought we would have a watch like this. And the case shape is definitely a thing of its own. Kudos to RM for thinking out of the box with this one. It's not a watch suited for me but definitely an interesting one! Cheers, Anthony

It is a kind of "concept" watch and I must say a very interesting one in RM's collections. Thanks for the feedback Anthony Best, Mark

with its usual bike display and, at the end of the day, makes the count and use the pushers on his watch to add the total distance to the previous sum (so, you make the calculation). At the end of the year or month etc, you have the overall you've been ri... 

I lost the ability to understand and follow RMs creative strategy. I admired his earlier design and then as time has gone on, everythings gone a little cray cray!
