You know, when dealing with shaped cases (coussin, square etc...)
It is always something that will attract a smaller part of the potential clients. Especially with RM as the tonneau shape is their "root" design. I saw the RM17 in the Parisian boutique and it was so much more appealing than on pictures.
You're so right!

SIHH 2017: Richard Mille Live Pics
As Mark has reported the novelty of Richard Mille this year, the highlight is RM50-03. Please read his detailed post. www.watchprosite.com While I can't give more detailed analysis or review of 50-03 than Mark has done, I would like to post the li...
RM017-01?
Hi Ken, Thank you for the live pics, looks like an exceptional booth! Can you give more details on the 17-01? I thought the RM017 was the extra thin tourbillon in rectangular case? This looks like a hybrid of the 038, the 021 and the 014 Perini. Is this a...
Origins
In fact Colton it is the RM017 Extra Flat Tourbillon's movement that seems to be put in the RM067's case style (thinner tonneau shape, white ceramic). It is a new reference but I don't have the info yet, certainly later. Maybe Ken will have some if he fin...
Wow!!!!
That is amazing, thank you for the explanation and context Mark. To me, this is nearly as exciting as the 50-03. I really enjoy the 067, and the movement here looks very captivating. Very logical move to combine the two and have a tonneau shaped extra thi...
You're welcome Colton :)
I like the RM067 very much too. I could try the rose gold version not long ago and will make a small review. It seems indeed that they are going to use that new case proportion a little more. Just a guess but this is something I like too Best, Mark
I don't know for the strap's size
as I couldn't see the watch already. In fact, the aim was to provide a thinner Tourbillon as the square RM017 provided already, but in the Tonneau-shaped case. The RM67-01 had already opened the way and it was logical to go that way for RM. However, I don...
i dont know but my gut feeling is that it is an RM10 case with lower caseband , UPDATE
just checked the website and the strap of the 67-01 is designated as 67-01 where as the the 17-01 has a strap of 10L which is the one used on both the RM10 and 29
Thank you for sharing your search
You may be right indeed from their reference I've just checked on pics. Good point. I imagine it may be more a question of height of the case where the strap is attached than a question of width (just a thought, not an assertion). We'll know when the tech...
According to Richard Mille Ginza Boutique website....
"ATZ White Ceramic bezel is very hard (1400 Vickers Scale) and known to be resistant to color degradation. The hardness, second to diamond fits the bezel material." So, I guess the movement was cased in the ATZ white ceramic case. Ken
Highly impressive....
watch for the McLaren collaboration, I love the carbon case, however the overall design of the movement front and back is simply way too much for my tastes. I sincerely hope the products resulting from the Aston Martin collaboration will turn out far more...
Great report on RM Ken
I took time to have a look at these. The RM050-03 is really comething and far more than a simple watch put in a crabon case. There is absolutely no compromise to this watch. The work and engineering required in order to get a 7 grams Split and Tourbillon ...
Awesome! I always thought the 17 missed the attention it deserved.. Glad to see the..
Movement back, and in a more RM traditional case. Don't know why the 17 never was a fav among RM collectors, the crown always looked out of place but a beautiful watch none the less. Thanks for posting
