Dear PuristS,

Please meet and greet the "new" PuristSPro Richard Mille Forum Moderator: 'FrX' or 'foversta'

Due to his excellent reports about all brands, Francoise-Xavier needs no introduction to PuristS but officially, we have to follow protocol -- "Ta-daah!"

FrX or foversta

FrX has agreed to help with the Richard Mille Forum using the PuristS creed of Passion Opinion Information rather than as a fan-boy.

Being also based in France helps....

This bodes well for PuristS coverage of horological aspects of the technique and aesthetic at Richard Mille.

As a PuristS and a gentleman, I append his foversta avatar and one of his famous wrist-shots below.

Regards,
MTF

Key Points from the Discussion

The new moderator, foversta, addresses initial concerns about not owning a Richard Mille watch, clarifying that his role is to animate the forum for owners and fans, leveraging his deep knowledge of the brand and its community.
MTF defends the moderator's appointment, emphasizing that ownership is not a prerequisite for objective moderation and that the focus is on fostering a better environment for enthusiasts, regardless of personal collection status.
A community member expresses skepticism about a non-owner moderating the forum, suggesting that an actual owner would be more appropriate.
A fellow PuristS offers a congratulatory wristshot featuring a Richard Mille RM 27-01 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, highlighting its cable suspension, tourbillon, and carbon nanotube case, with a total weight of only 19g.
Several members express enthusiasm for foversta's new role, citing his excellent photography and reports, and look forward to his contributions to the Richard Mille forum.
Another member, a passionate RM fan but not yet an owner, congratulates the new moderator and expresses anticipation for his posts.

Oh Yes....we'll work him hard

A PuristS writer could cover any watch brand objectively but of course, we still have our professional assignments and personal favourites..... Regards, MTF
