Richard Mille has positioned itself as the lifestyle watch at the absolute top of the food chain, with an average price that is unmatched by any other brand with similar brand awareness. It is THE brand that dreams are made of amongst status-seeking young people, so young and bold thieves will follow. The shape and aesthetic are instantly recognizable and it's only going to get worse as Richard Mille continues to gain fame and spreads its artistic wings further.
That same thief would not bother to scope out a Charles Frodsham Chronometer or many other watches that have tons of horological interest, but little visual similarity to brands with that are practically household names amongst those read TMZ and gawk at wrist candy on Instagram (the latter being me). Those that break into your house are less discriminatory and I imagine in places with far worse income inequality, any object of quality is going to be pilfered.

When your watch costs as much as some ppl's homes..

I'm not saying it's right.. far from it. I don't even know if the robbers even needed the money, they're criminals.. I guess I'm just a realist and expect this to happen when life involves these levels of inequality and a country has that many guns..
Do you guys still remember back in late 1980s and early 1990s..
