Hi everyone,
Maybe that people enjoying skiing sports have followed our French fellow Alexis Pinturault recently, but he has made very good!
As followed by Richard Mille for a while now, his performance has been an excellent occasion to be celebrated by a limited edition. You know the RM027 Rafael Nadal, RM038 Bubba Watson and the RM035 are very light and shock resistant watches developped throughout very demanding sports. Hence, I think the RM035, with its weight and resistance is the perfect choice of this event.
You can see on the picture that the watch is made of full Carbon TPT case and remains discreet with a slight touch of red here and there. Nearly perfect to me.
I couldn't find the dimensions: is it the original smaller dimension (first RM035 in Aluminum and Magnesium alloy) or the RM035-01 NTPT Carbon's (which is slighly bigger)? We'll see.
From RM, we learn a little more about his performance lately as he reached the champhion Jean-Claude Killy's number of victories by achieving a 19th World Cup win in the Giant on the slopes of Adelboden, Switzerland and 3 in Giant this season.
The watch will be available around March 2017 in RM boutiques (all over the world thus not reserved to a specific region).
Congratulations Alexis for his performance and Richard Mille for this great choice!
How do you find it?
Best, Mark
