I couldn’t find any information on size and I’m sure that the price is beyond me, but one to follow for me. Definitely my aesthetic!

Well, some completion for RM or not really? I don’t know the price point nor have I looked closely at the specs. At the surface level they seem to be playing the same part of the market. If they come in at RM prices, or anywhere near (even half of RM prices), and don’t have serious horological chops and or significant financial backing then can they be successful? What is the backstory? Who is the money? Another thought, we have seen so many new brands (both watchmaker and non watchmaker) pitch

There might be a tech & mech inspiration from Richard Mille, but elements like rod, screws, bolts are basically fixed, so they worked into the right direction. Le Cercle des Horloger is getting extremely busy...because they work very well. I'm curious to see the time only (and the price). As I criticized the early teaser, I have to say that they did not copy/paste the RM design as other brands have done, so I'm glad that they've tried to be either different and similar.

RM better be looking in their rear view mirror!
