Tell me about it...
A trip there would be indeed worthwhile. RM I predicted years ago would take off. This is only the beginning. Thanks for posting.
The same Richard Mille; but not as we know it! The Quebec Clock!
You are never too sure what to expect from Richard Mille, and the last time I went to visit, that was exactly the case. There are the usual work benches of watchmakers crouched over their work and concentrating on the microscopic space in front of them. H...
Wow, I am very, very much looking forward to the completion...
... the monumental clock, in RM way... Must be impressive! Thanks for letting us know. Someone has to visit, or someone there, please report when you see it! Ken
I think that once in place, it will be very special. One thing
that Richard always thinks about is how a surface will change over time. I am sure he has already thought through how the clock with 'weather' over time on the outside surface. Hoping that someone out there will be in Quebec to see it installed. Thanks Ke...
I would not be surprised is such an event occurred in the future...
it is entirely possible. For now, they are getting this one built and in place. The problem with clocks is that they do not sell as well as watches and it takes time to design and gear up production. Perhaps one day, but have not heard anything in the pip...

Not sure you were the only one predicting RM taking off - he

1st the Planeterium Tellurium, now THIS!
Impressed, and impressive piece! Thanks for the news Andrew! Stephen
True - not too sure what happened to the Planetarium. Last
I heard it was being kept for future research use, although there were a number of private buyers offering sums of money for the piece. Cheers! Andrew H
And thats what i would have done too!
If only my banker was more courteous towards me and my passion! Ciao Stephen
I believe that manufacture/design is mainly in house within
Richard Mille (at Montres Valigne). There is a special team dedicated to the design and production of the clock, although I know some components are being manufactured at other firms. I dont know who off the top of my head. Cheers Andrew H
