As much as I admire the enthusiasm, this was not to be released

until tomorrow at the earliest.

Well, as you obtained the official photos from somewhere, lets talk about the watch.

Somewhere around two years in R&D; a new and bold case and strap combo for RM (and a brilliant one at that); the Dauphane hands given a new twist; but what makes it really new is the escapement. Note the free sprung escapement wheel, and four pronged weighting. Brilliant and something I have been crying out for (Richard will attest to that!! Poor chap).

THIS IS AN RM for the PURIST.

Hope to have live pictures in the next day or two. All RM fans should be very excited about this watch. I know I am.

Cheers

Andrew H

I really like the watch, a very refreshing and original look!

Since when has it been unveiled?

By: Zoro55 : January 15th, 2011-03:35

Nice, i like... new direction indeed and successfully done. Any info about the movement, as its always the most worrying in RM's

i think it was unveiled today or yesterday, why are you worried about the mvmnt?

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : January 15th, 2011-03:47

RM has the best movements out there no need to worry

, reminds me of Cartier's rubber and steel Le Must chronograph for some reason! Too 'trendy' for me.

I like it... a lot !

At least a new style direction at RM ! I really like it and I would like to know more about the movement. Happy to see the use of micro-rotor. Fr.Xavier

Like the movement - not a big fan of the roman dials

To me, RM has been about the nice clean arabic numerals. In actual fact, I am a bigger fan of the filled in small arabics than even the stylized ones they've been using from the RM5 to the RM11s etc.. The Roman versions do nothing for me and I don't think...

Fixing the problem

By: eric.vonschonberg : January 22nd, 2011-14:13

Roman numerals are for dress watches. They don't go on sports watches. Did Richard Mille think it was a dress watch because it is thin? Well, it's not a dress watch. The problem is easy to fix. Just replace those Roman numerals with Arabic ones and the wa...

Seems like I'm in the majority here..

I like the new movement, but a m not a fan of the dial design. I'm hoping the micro rotor allows them to make a thinner piece, something in the 40-42 but only 9mm thick would be sweet.... A

Gents, i think thats the point, lokk at it this way

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : January 15th, 2011-23:10

first it sterred different responses and reactions (RM signature move) and hence much talk and consiquentialy recognition whether love or hate of course second this new designs opens new horizons in many ways for RM line up, tonneau , rectangular (16) and...

I agree but what a shame to....

By: tom3 : January 16th, 2011-01:49

have gone to all the trouble that such a creative piece demands to fall short on the 'icing on the cake' as it were. For what it's worth, apart from the dial I also don't like the look of the over engineered look of the case as it appears to be done for a...
