Morning folks, Saw a new post of the account "wrk_timepieces" Very modern design. I like it! Let's see the next steps. Have a nice Sunday. ...  

But I think it's accidental. ...  

When Richard Mille launched is brand... Wasn't expecting this comparaison as I don't see similarities there but we have all our biases, don't we ? If we are following your comment, could we then conclude that Richard Mille mixed a Franck Muller and a Roya...  

Do you own/ work/have any interest in this brand? Just guessing, silent for 12 years (last time talking about RM, accidentally) and now here you are. We can pretend to be either naive or blind, to each his own.

So on that basis alone I’m interested to see this. Unfortunately, due to the success of RM over the last decade or so, any brand that comes to market with a case remotely similar or pitched in a similar way, will draw comparison and potentially negative t... 

Thanks for your constructive comment and not biting my wrist as someone else did You're absolutely right: any tonneau case is related to Richard Mille, usually by lack of historical knowledge. Franck Muller popularised it a lot in the 90s, then came Richa... 

If anything it has some similarities to the Patek posted recently by Ivan5...but even then they are distant cousins at best. ...  

Looking forward in seeing the final result ...
