the new lineup
RM038, RM030 - Fantastic! The RM030 especially is destined to be the new hot RM
RM033 - Get rid of the roman numerals, and it's perfect
RM029 - Sorry, the date window means this is less aesthetically pleasing, and it's way less skeletized than a RM010.

Live from right next door to Geneva Airport: Richard Mille at SIHH for 2011.
There is always a buzz around the Richard Mille booth at the SIHH fair; you always know something new in haute horologie is going to happen, and this year was no different. The wow factor watch was the RM038 sports tourbillon. This time designed for golf,...
Wow thanks for all the live RM pictures Andrew!
Great releases this year IMO! The profile shot of the circular RM033 wasn't what I expected it to be, so I hope it fits good on smaller wrists because the case now looks larger than I thought it would be. I fear the lugs may overextend my wrist on my wimp...
Sorry I did not take a wrist shot of the RM033. It fits on the
wrist, as any RM, with exacting comfort. You will notice that the back of the watch is curved and this helps to contour the watch around the wrist. It should fit your wrist and would look stunning as a dress watch. Thanks Andrew H
Thank you....
Very interesting.... 33 is very thin indeed... I wonder if RM will release more models as thin as this one... Cheers
RM has - a re-release this year was the RM017 - the ultra-thin
tourbillon. Looks even better now that a few adjustments have been made. Sorry I did not get a picture to show you. Andrew H
Thanks Andrew!
great pictures ... and of course amazing watches! RM030 got my preference ... But that was before I saw pictures of the 38: this is just an amazingly looking watch, with great innovations: True RM DNA!!! Any further model to be released this week ;-) I no...
Yes, there are other numbers between 33 and 38, and I did
see one of the numbers between 33 and 38 at SIHH. Fabulous watch BTW - stay tuned as it is pencilled in for release in Spring! You are going to love it! Trust me on that. Thanks Andrew H
RM038
What an incredible piece.....!!!!!! This is the first place where I have seen the pictures , what a beauty , thanks for posting
Pleasure - it is fantastic as a watch and a very smart move by
Richard. Golf audience is huge, and he has strapped his watch (and reputation) to the hardest hitting golfer on the PGA. Should be fun to see how Bubba Watson plays with the RM038. Look what the RM027 did for Nadal! Andrew H
Thank you!
Either I'm broadening my horizons or.... RM is getting 'more classic'. I am not an RM fan, but I think I could wear this simple one.... maybe it's all the 'air' around the movement, letting all that 'techincality' breathe... a bit......
Thanks Mostel - going to get you in the end! While
RM is at the cutting edge of technology, his watches have a classical simplicity to them: a belief that no matter what you subject the watch to, the watch has chronometric precision. Take a look in the local dealer! Andrew H
What a great start for RM!
The RM038 is mindblowing in its simplicity and artistic interpretation! The RM033 is a nice direction for those who are more comfortable with round watches and the movement is awesome with the micro rotor,enabling such a thin profile.As Anthony mentioned,...
Great to see you Allen at SIHH - hope you enjoyed the viewing.
Hope to see you again soon. Andrew H
Thanks for your report !
Like the 009 AluSiC, the tubular 012 or the 027 Nadal, the 038 is for me the best part of Richard Mille, ultra light, ultra high tech "skeletonised" tourbillon. Fabulous! The 030 is big beast, for those who appreciates the 011 it is a perfect complementar...
It was a great year for RM - an increased range across the
RM line - not just the new pieces that I showed live pictures of. The WOW factor was obviously the RM038, and with good reason, but there is more choice across the dive watches, the automatics, the ultra-thins, and choice is a good thing! Take a look at t...
Not sure when it will 'hit' the dealers, but try to get
there when they do and try it for yourself. Very comfortable and stylish watch. Andrew H
I know. But more to the point, my pictures did not
do the movement justice - in particular the de-coupling aspect on the rotor. Have a look when they start to appear at the dealers. Andrew H
that RM033 is beautiful
i really like this case and its flatness and uniform thickness.
Cool ! Generally, this watch has been a considerable hit
and I am sure will sell swiftly when they arrive at the dealers. Should try one on! Andrew H

Generally Eric, you and I are in agreement! RM038 is
fantastic; although the RM033 is better than my photos portray. Wait till you see it. Thanks for looking Andrew H
i agree too
i finally get to hold n see the watch personally... its gorgeous ... very
Impressive new models!
Love that 33. Thanks for posting, Andrew. This message has been edited by Davo on 2011-01-26 05:10:57
