Amazing to see it all listed..

The evolution of the materials and methods are so fantastic to look back on.. another reason to track down that Monographie published a couple years back I think.
Thank you for this in-depth summary Mark, and I eagerly anticipate your review on the 056-01!
One material I would add to this list though, is semi-precious stones. I recall the RM018 was a very small series of pieces, 12 pieces I think? Each with a different type of stone used in the gear-wheels.
Very commendable to see the different iterations of the materials made for LE sets as well, the Green TZP ceramic on the RM038-01, the new Red RM011 NTPT, even the Brown ceramic RM011 LE.
Happy holidays to all RM forum friends, hope you have a very restful and refreshing time spent with family.

A huge work indeed

It has evolved in a very interesting way and I can't wait to see what's next. Thanks for mentionning the stones added to the wheels of RM references in the past, I could have indeed included them. Here is one of Andrew's posts about the Boucheron version ...
Really impressive 8-O

Thank you Mark for your inspiring article. My first reaction was to imagine how I would feel if I was in charge in a different Brand: well, I think I'd be [more than] a bit envying... My second reflection was about the Richard Mille salespersons: are you ...
This is indeed the result of a hard work and a will from the founder
By: Mark in Paris : December 24th, 2015-03:22
This is quite impressive indeed, especially in around less than 15 years. As concerning the salesperson, I imagine no they are not, at least not a majority but who knows... there are some enthusiasts in their teams. As for you 3rd thoughts, no I don't thi...
GOLD NTPT CARBON®

GOLD NTPT CARBON® I have never been a fan of gold watches, but this could be something that might change that.
This is indeed a quite original layout

I wonder how it looks in live. I imagine much sportier than full gold but very decorative on a woman's wrist. Cheers, Mark
