It really suits you, FX 😉
Seriously, it’s interesting how upset some people got. I’m thinking it has to do with individual perceptions of the brand. If you see it as a brand that stands for, cutting edge, ultra performance like F1 - chances are you could be upset and feel that this is making a mockery. If you see it as an ultra luxury brand that doesn’t gives TH bourgeoisie the finger you could love it. I’m not so disturbed as I’m not a fan of the brand, but I find these watches interesting, for some reason. My first thought was that RM is repeating what Pop Art did 60 years ago. Secondly, form what I read, the craft that went in to doing the candy is pretty sofisticated high end jewelry. Not very different that a well executed enamel dial, by concept.
For now, I like them - much, much more than the typical RM watches. They somehow feel more “genuine” 😉
SIHH 2019: several Richard Mille wristshots
I love the Bonbon collection. It is refreshing and it explores a territory which is not present in a too serious industry. Once again, Richard Mille gives the proof that a daring attitude combined with a high quality of execution can lead to a successful ...
Frankly, I like this new Bonbon collection more and more as I see it -- it's good to take things with self-humor, and this is quite an original and high-quality way to do it for RM! ;-)
I like its price tag starting at $145k a bit less to be honest, but we can't have everything...

Well,
the only one I find tastefully enough done is the green one. The others are too garish . Cheers, Filip
Am I just too serious? Or did I just not get a dosage of the Kool-Aid?
Who is the target audience? Someone who cares about fashion? Or someone who cares about style? "Fashions fade, style is eternal" - Yves Saint Laurent Everyone I spoke to about these Bonbon pieces at the fair said they liked it. However, I'm in the minorit...
" in a too serious industry. "
when you charge over 100K I demand to be taken serious and I don"t expect something 10 times overpriced that was made fa an 8 year old I guess this is the new box ? ...
There are only a few that I like in this collection
But I like the direction that RM went with it. I'd rather a watch be daring than boring After all you cannot please everybody and no model should please everyone
