Collection
Sandeepbhatia shares the exhilarating experience of acquiring his first Richard Mille, an RM 35-01 'Baby Nadal,' after a brief but decisive encounter with the brand in London boutiques. This post captures the immediate and transformative impact of owning an RM, leading him to re-evaluate his entire watch collection.
Richard Mille RM010 Automatic
The RM010 represents Richard Mille's automatic offering within the RM 010 series. This reference was produced from 2005 to 2015, establishing it as a decade-spanning model in the brand's catalog. The RM010 designation indicates its positioning as an automatic variant within Richard Mille's numerical reference system.
The 39mm case is constructed from titanium and features a fixed bezel configuration. Sapphire crystal protects the skeletonized dial, which reveals the mechanical components beneath. The watch houses the RM010 automatic caliber, providing 55 hours of power reserve. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the timepiece is completed with a rubber strap.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's distinctive aesthetic in an automatic format. The titanium construction and skeletonized dial presentation reflect the brand's technical approach to watchmaking. The ten-year production span from 2005 to 2015 makes this a relatively accessible entry point into Richard Mille's automatic collection for contemporary collectors.
;) Here you are... Minute Repeater, 15 Days power reserve, Torquemeter and titanium grade 5 polished case. A technical and aesthetical beast. Best, Nicolas
wow, thats lovely, never seen one before. Very classy. just had my 35 put on a rubber strap, prefer the way its wears a bit. excuse for more dodgy pictures!
...or even people who just tried them: when you get one, you really feel you want another one. I think it is not redundant at all. First, a warm welcome on PuristSPro to you and congratulations for your new RM035-1! Thanks for sharing this event with us. It is always nice to hear a new owner's experience: can you tell us how you made your choice and why? For the next one, well, first it depends if you want to stay with the big case you have or if you go for the smaller one (RM010 for instance).
Thanks for the kind words Mark. I have lots of chronographs, simple watches made complicated if you like. However, with RM I was drawn to the simpler RMs, so things like the RM10, which i preferred to the RM29, and also the RM30, and potentially also the RM55. Obviously i ended up with Nadal, it was kind of destined to be my first RM somehow..... Haven't been able to see an RM30 in titanium yet, none around in London at the moment. I did try on the RM30 Polo Club, which was very cool, and someth
and I also prefer it to the RM029. I think that you indeed have to take your time to see other models when you're in NYC. Cheers, Mark
