Richard Mille

I recently decided to try Richard Mille and decided to buy a RM010 before considering something more expensive. That was only a few months ago, and I've been surprised by the number of complaints here about quality issues. For the incredibly high prices t... 

It's always sad to see people complaining about their watches, but, even if I'm not a RM Fan, I will defend it here. I agree that pricey watches have to be Perfect, but since they're manufactured, ALL the watches can be at the center of the polemic.... If... 

... there's a major difference between PP, VC, AP, JLC.... and RM watches. RM is a new watchmaker that haven't proved himself yet. If you followed the history of Richard Mille, you can see that he basically focused on making a superbe design, use new mate... 

To that list of great proven watch brands, I'd add Lange. The reason I mention them in particular is that they are fairly new, having been reestablished in the early 90s. But, in a short time, they have proven themselves and have a reputation for quality....

It has earned a reputation for outstanding reliability. Journes are very well made watches, and yet the brand has been around for not longer than Richard Mille has. Eric von Schonberg

what are you talking about eric. I have owned seven journes since 2001, five went back for sevice one was 100k tourbillon.I own 2 RM for three years no problem what so ever.Your just upset you got ripped for you posts on the forbes article.

Hi Eric, You are perfectly right to have doubts and it is good to be outspoken. Nobody is perfect, even a brand ;-) ! And I fully comprehend that the price/quality experience relates to these issues. However, I would like to answer your comments with my o... 

Theodore, First of all, I should remind you that my only RM, a RM010, has been working great with no problems whatsoever. Also, you and several others on this message board have mentioned at various times that their RMs work great too. But, there are peop... 

the RM-004 issues are addressed by the company... TM

I find your posts to be a 'love/hate' relationship with Richard Mille watches. You have bought a RM010, which by your own admittence runs just fine; yet you wish to trawl the archives here and find almost every instance of someone complaining about their ... 

... fiercely! It is something anyone understand and respects. There is a lot of truth in ur reply, but also, you are not very objective in some points. 1-All the ppl that own a RM and had problems with them are not necessarly posting them here. I personna... 

The only thing I'll add is to reiterate that I see potential with RMs innovation, and would like to see RM watches be considered highly reliable well made watches that live up to their price tags. Eric von Schonberg

... has to say about it. I felt i went a bit strong, but when i read again, its really what i think. The fun part is that i honestly think that most models look amazing! ) Saw the latest RM016, very eye catching. Only problem is that i don't trust the wat... 

First, I am glad you still find Richard Mille watches enjoyable and fascinating. I would hate to dull anyone's enthusiasm. I am not averse to negative comments. What I am averse to is negative comments without foundation or sufficient fact. If we wanted t... 

... around 5-6 years ago. A friend and business partner was wear an RM tourbillon. Don't recall the exact reference. But i recall very well my 1st impression. It was waaaooow, felt like AP released a new model ... then he told that its a new watchmaker th... 

that people share their views, and believe me, Richard Mille reads and listens and takes steps to put things right. Each to their own and to their own tastes. Someone has to push the envelope - see what is possible, or all watches would look like Patek an... 

You are right that it's a cry for help to RM. If I didn't see so much potential in RM, I'd just move on to another watch brand. What's clear about this thread is that there are others like me who are having misgivings about RMs. If I were RM, I'd want to ...
