RM hasn’t caught my eye before but this one’s got me thinking, or should I say dreaming. 1.75mm thick with a 1.18mm movement??

150 watches X1.9 MIl makes nearly 300'000'000 USD of income. that's enough to hire few of the greatest minds in the industry to design such a watch, manufacture it and you'll be left with enough money to take over few watch companies including their manuf...

The Bulgari octo is much better looking.

Well put, I feel the same about the innovation
