back then, they were cool for being cool which suited me fine. Once they started getting hot which brought negative attention, that was the end for me.
The quality is there. They are built with attention to detail. The concept is also cool. I respect the movement suppliers, Vaucher (Parmigiani) and AP RP, but their image leaves much to be desired especially in the days of social media.
They were once known for producing outrageous watches with cool tech but now are more known for toys for the uber rich to get more social media clout. I remember their early days when most people did not understand them and would look negatively at their products but due to social media, hype, exclusivity, etc...some of these people have now jumped on the RM bandwagon which makes me chuckle a bit ππ€£π€·ββοΈ
Same could be said for the Aquanaut and Nautilus models in the early to late 90s π
