Excellent review and photography

Has Richard Mille made any schematics available, showing how the chronograph train is coupled directly to the barrel and the motion of the pinions when the chronograph is activated?

Prefer this new RM 72 to the RM 11 iterations, even if this case shape still isnโ€™t ideal for accurately reading off elapsed subseconds.

Hands on review of the Richard Mille RM 72-01 Lifestyle In-House chronograph

 
 By: foversta : September 20th, 2020-13:49
The RM 67-01 Extra-Flat is one of my favourite Richard Mille watches. I like its finesse, its slender side, its contemporary style which in a way reinterprets the classic and elegant watch. This is surely why I particularly appreciate the newest reference...  

What a superb review..

The dimensions of this RM are terrific. I prefer the Ti version, but don't care for the white rubber strap and crown. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention. M4

Wonderful review of a wonderful reference.

Thank you for this effort. I too love the 67-01, and this one strikes a similar chord. But the 67-01 Ti remains top of list in terms of versatility and overall package. -a

A great piece of in-depth review as always! Thank you FX!

The RM72-01 measurements slot in nicely between the size of RM010 and RM005 .. this will be a winner. Personally I canโ€™t handle RM11 series due to the exceptional thickness if the case. Reference.. RM005 38mm x 45mm x 11.5mm RM72-01 38.4mm x 47.3mm x 11.7... 

Superb review

As always FX, thanks!!! This is a wonderful piece that I would love to wear on a regular basis... except price point is unfortunately beyond my reach... one of the absolutely best RM to date in my opinion

Excellent review and photography

and I like this watch. I would just add another con which Keks mentioned as the price. Thought RM owners might be used to it by now just watched Roman Sharf saying a Bubba Watson is cheap at $150k and now its going $220k. maybe 1 day
