Richard Mille

It is a sad state of affairs in the world. And in this, I fully support Richard’s decision and hence what I am about to report. Richard took the decision last night (Sunday) that there would be no live photos and no photos on the stand this year. I am in ...  

It's sad to read about this "plague" of fake industry. I imagine sooner or later those pictures will be available but I guess the time it does, it is better for RM. I accept it even if, like all RM fans, I'm a bit disappointed. Thanks for explaining Andre... 

Easily Richard's most complex mechanical piece ever and simply stunning to behold. There has been a team of watchmakers labouring for 2 and a half years on that one. I actually like the RM035-01! It looks and feels great on the wrist. Personally I think i... 

........of the other non-tourbillon 39 please?

in form. Andrew H

a stunning piece that really embodies what can RM invent at its best.

This looks to be another fantastic year for RM. Even though quite upsetting for the fans. I never thought I would be saying this but those ladies watches are the highlights for me this year. The Natalie Portman watch is my favourite. As impressive as it w... 

slip through without being noticed. There are enfacement issues when there are so many people wandering around the booth with a phone in their hands. However, as PPro (and myself for that matter) always support the required issuing guidelines for the bran... 

It is quite unfortunate that fakes exist to begin with.. it goes against the foundation of appreciating a quality, hand-crafted item whatever it may be. Regardless, I regretfully agree with the logic employed here; and hope to at some point see these nove... 

have the Iive photos for you soon. Andrew H

I read in an interview with Mr Mille in Dec 2013 that a new Bubba Watson model was going to be released at SIHH 2014. Probably RM38-01? Have you seen/heard about this Andrew?

display cases, or in the watches shown to retailers. Have not seen drawings either. Andrew H

But nevertheless, I like the RM collection this year. These NTPT carbons pieces are going to be a huge hit IMO. I absolutely love the look of the wavy carbon pattern! Cheers, Anthony

show the photos, but on the wrist it is a fabulous watch. It is the pick of the bunch in NTPT for myself. Andrew H

If the people can not take some pictures what's the purpose? It's ridiculous that it's forbidden taking pictures in order to prevent the fakes' manufacturing. Is really so easy to built a Papiìs movement? Of course not.....and i've my own thoughts!

go to show their new pieces to the dealer network. The press are allowed in to observe, cover, and comment. Former latitude shown in being provided with the watches, a photo room, and equipment was abused by some, to the detriment of the many. It sucks fo... 

Thanks a lot for posting this. The forgery issue is a major problem - they were fake certificates floating around around Asia last year as well. I am so excited for my incoming - my dealer is in Geneva now hoping securing its release from captivity! Even ... 

To see what your big incoming is Conkers.. considering your collection already this must be something special! Was just in my local AD trying a few RM's on for size.. hoping to join you sooner rather than later. I am glad to see your opinions on this year... 

Thanks for your kind words. I think as I have posted before on here, I find it a little frustrating at the elapsed time between novelties being announced and actually coming to market. For example, where are the silicon nitride cases announced way before ... 

I have to confess I was not aware of the significant delays in the delivery of the Nitride cased watches; that admitedly would be frustrating! I agree with all of your sentiments and thoughts on the novelties. The NTPT seems to be such an interesting evol... 

I was promised end-Jan, fingers crossed!

I struggle with this decision really, surely the 'fakers' will manage to get what they need to make fakes anyway regardless of this RM decision. To be honest my take is that people buying the watches need to exercise more caution. Buy only from a RM bouti... 

it vicariously some point soon? Thanks Andrew H

While preventing fakes is definitely in the interest of the manufacturer as well as the customer, this seems rather pointless and silly. The whole purpose of participating in an exhibition is to enhance brand visibility, create a market for new offerings ... 

And yes, at authorised dealers, you will get to see the watches and take photos. But you are missing the issue here. At the back of the RM booth, Richard has always graciously provided professional lightroom and photographic facilities for the very purpos... 

5000 seems to much... An extract for the Chronofiable certification process: - ageing cycles consisting of linear and angular accelerations; 20,000 shocks ranging from 250 to 5500 m/s2 (9.81 m/s2 = 1g) as well as changes in temperature and humidity during... 

RM027 RN up to 1000G and were working on higher shock treatment. The watches are very sturdy! Andrew H

Is it really fake ?? because , i've ever seen on Instagram .. someone account there. posted Authentics RM 052 All black. TZP nano ceramic case with black skull and real Tourbillon. Regards, Jeff

official Richard Mille 'All Black' skull watch. So anything you have seen on Instagram, unless it was a special order and/or 'one-off' (which Richard Mille sometimes produces), it is probably a fake. Even if it has a real (or what looks to be real) tourbi... 

What you think bro ?? I think this one is RM Authentic ? Regards, Jeff ...  

That's a fake, all the 52's ( as far as I am aware ) have hollowed out case openings,as below, little bits of that one look wrong to me also, but hard to be exact when the pic is not very good quality when blowing it up ...  

Although it is alarming enough seeing how 'passable' it is.. the nerve of a faker thinking it possible to create copy of such a unique and limited run watch. The crown and skull detailing just seem off as compared to the authentic RM. Scary stuff, but int... 

hi Chris, In fact the apertures are not visible in all the RM052: Cheers, Mark RM052 Ceramic ...  

Thanks Mark, I stand corrected, haven't seen the ceramic version. Have to say don't like it much, I think the case openings make the whole thing, looks a bit 'lacking' without them

I guess it is more difficult to make the holes in the ceramic but I prefer them on the Ti version.
