New Release
Andrew H (219) offers an exclusive look at Richard Mille's 2014 SIHH novelties, providing rare 'live shots' that capture the true essence of these watches beyond official press releases. His detailed observations highlight the innovative materials and complex designs, offering collectors a real-world perspective on these high-performance timepieces. This article showcases the distinct features that make these Richard Mille creations stand out.
With my thanks to Richard Mille for agreeing to allow these Live shots to go to print, here are some of this year’s watches from SIHH 2014.
It is well known that Richard decided that there were to be no detailed shots of the watches ( richardmille.watchprosite.com
). Details of the individual watches can be found on the Richard Mille website. However, and as always, nothing beats the live photo and it is here that PuristsPro delivers the ‘real life’ perspective.
Enjoy!

The pick of the new watches in my book. At SIHH 2014 only the rose gold version was available to see, touch, and feel. At the time I thought that the watch was too heavy; not sufficiently in the spirit of the other Richard Mille Formula 1 watches to qualify as something that I would be interested in. However, at the London showing of the new collection, the all NTPT carbon casing was on show. Now I get it! The watch clad in the all new NTPT carbon is a lightweight Formula 1 racing machine of the
all NTPT (carbon) version. It is also Richard's most complete F1 watch as well. Pretty much all he has learned in terms of new materials, mechanisms, and the stresses of motor-sport in one watch! Tall order admittedly, but a wonder to behold. Andrew H
A useful complication and bezel for sea-faring watch enthusiasts. The watch is a substantial piece: large in diameter and depth and not for the every day wrist. That said, a complication that makes sense: using the fact that time and degree angle across the globe are linked. Innovative, unique, and stylish.
But I think that the case height is too large for my taste. It is a pity because I was rather convinced by the dial and the bezel. Thanks Andrew. Fx
but as a sailing chronograph it is a brilliant watch. Andrew H
