Richard Mille

I noticed on RM's website a few recent models I didn't pay attention too lately, I thought I could share them today. RM11-02 Ceramic "Japan" edition: RM11-02 NTPT "Asia" edition: RM030 Blue Ceramic EMEA region edition: RM030 NTPT "Asia" edition: RM055 NTP...  

Do they want to be like Hublot? I hope not! Best.

People knowing RM from far, are not familiar with their products and volumes. They have been providing in their early period (they started in 2001 so this is quite recent) one model after another. Aesthetically, they were mainly gold followed by Titanium ... 

Measured and informed - I need to commit this response to memory to use it when someone asks me a similar question about why I enjoy RM so much. The variety adds to the interest, and supports the development of new and exciting calibres. Thank you as alwa... 

With such brand it is indeed a question, disccussion that comes often and I must say that I was thinking the same when I discovered the brand. That's why I take time to explain how to see it and then people can think about it, try them eventually and make... 

but honestly, can somebody explain me these watches? I'm not talking about their design cause I understand this is a personal opinion. You might like them and you might hate them. just like some people probably don't like a Patek 2499. But i do have a HUG... 

It is true that RM prices its pieces crazily and they definitely do not worth such amounts of money. However if people pays that prices... but as you said RM is a bit like Rolex, many buy them just to show they are wealthy for Rolex or very wealthy in cas... 

The fist thing we look at (as I did when I started in watches and when I discovered RM for the first time around 2009) is the price point compared to traditional, established brands. The comparision is made on what these brands are known for: polishing (c... 

End of the day they are selling everyone at full price these days (hotter brand than even your beloved Patek). I guess I could go on Patek forum and say how much I hate dress watches, over priced sub-standard service times, etc. But I won't. Take care and... 

I totally understand your point as I too find RM prices today to be ridiculous. however, I only feel that way about them because they are the most outrageous compared to the competition. now let's backtrack a bit. for people not into watches, a Rolex is c... 

I am not into the complications. I buy RM for the comfort on the wrist. I second Mr Richard Mille believe in luxury is ease of wear n comfort is priceless. I see RM basically have two different lines. One is complication/hi-tech n the other is comfort/lux... 

I will be there !

It will be a very nice Sunday activity for sure, if the weather is ok :p Best, Mark

A picture of @easytowatch and me with the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda and 2 two VIP RM ...  

It seems you didn't have too much rain. I imagine the cars and events were great to attend. Thanks again Best, Mark

It was my first time here, and I will come back. Cars, animations, planning, everything was perfect

I forgot to congratulate you for the Parmigiani, they are very interesting pieces and have a nice boutique in Paris. Thanks! Best, Mark

Best regards Matthieu

you present a fair picture for the brand and its fans. I recently got to try a few RM pieces on at an AD thanks to the help of Padj and the lightness of construction & potential comfort are top class. Some personal ovservations: Both RM and FP Journe watc... 

There are of course significant differences but the parallel is well spoted imho. I agree with all you said. The brand has brought a lot and, with its success (well deserved and based on the technical aspects) and considering the high price luxury market ... 

NYTimes did an interview with Monsieur Mille back in March 2017 and it was indicated that RM will produce 4,000 watches this year. Two years ago it was reported 3,200 watches. That is 25% growth in two years which is phenomenal considering the worldwide s... 

and I understand tribalism in watch collecting where everyone really loves their favorite brand & gets fired up about it, but let's not categorically put down watches by cost or insinuate that there's something indignant about people who buy a watch that ... 

No more replies from me in this thread...going down hill quickly. But I will say I enjoyed lunch with Papi--a true genius. ...  

You missed the parts where I wrote that I think RM construction are top class and Richard Mille is envied for his success. You may be using the term troll too liberally. On PPro we can have passionate debates supported by facts and/or reasoned perspective... 

of posting the picture? if you want to make the point I think you want to make, at least post one where you are in it. LOL

I think that this figure has to be also taken in the perspective of the growth in demand, considering they are known more and more. When I bought my RM035 in 2012, it was much less so and such brand becoming more and more famous leads to a demand that all... 

👍😀

No offense intended of course.

then again who really knows. The history of Swiss watchmaking is littered with glorious brands that have faced failure/decline after decades of success: Breguet, Blancpain, Angelus, Minerva to name a few I know about. Even the great maisons like Patek, AP... 

Watchmaker of our times, which was able to develop its own design in his watches above all the mechanical wonders with which its watches are equipped. I am a huge fan of Indies not only classic-inspired brand like FPJ Laurent Ferrier and Moser but I also ... 

Since Richard Mille doesn't make too many watches and models each year, I understand the logic of mixing and matching different materials and color combinations. However, some of these I feel are going a tad too far - too out there IMO. The color combinat... 

RM is going a great job of controlling inventory and demand. They are all selling at full price and impossible to find. I love what RM is doing right now--and even raised the price by $20k on 011-03 NTPT before release. Making money hand over fist and spe... 

and especially when daring novelties are launched, whether the brand is traditional or Indy-like. I often ask myself when dealing with aesthetics, colors and other decoration markers, if this would look "normal" for someone with a completely different bac...
