Wow! Very Special Screws!

Great report, nice to see the watches with pictures that have other objects to reference them. That pocket watch is huge! Very clever packaging concept for the pocket watch.

Delicious food, delicious company, and beautiful watches; all with a man that seems to have the strength and energy of a teenager.

The expensive screws should be part of their advertising campaign! The odd part is that even a kilogram of Richard Mille watches doesn't cost 20 million Euros; meaning the screws are one of the most expensive components of the watch. In fact, assuming that a movement weighs about 25 grams (40 movements per kilogram), the screws cost more than the movement in terms of weight. Weird. This means that Richard Mille probably is able to mass produce movement parts, but hasn't been able to bring down production costs of titanium screws.

The picture you posted of the RM25 is the best I've seen so far because it shows the curvature of the bezel extremely well. Would love to try one of these on the wrist just to see how large the 51mm case is. How thick is the RM25? Even thicker than the RM...
