Richard Mille

It was, for the most part, a quiet year for Richard Mille at the Salon de Haute Horologerie (SIHH). It was also a year for complicated ladies watches. For once, there were no new cutting edge materials on offer, no new sports ambassadors, or no new case d...  

The RM019-02 Fleur was the main watch and complication offered by Richard Mille at SIHH2015. Without doubt, although the case design is definitively Richard Mille and belongs in the twenty-first century, the mechanism and the representation of the complic...  

Perhaps more automaton watches for RM in the future then? Cheers, Anthony

And the colors of that dial are simply beautiful. What a delight. Thanks for the video. Best, CaliforniaJed

The second of the complex women’s watches offered this year was simply stunning! In line with some of the complicated women’s watches of the past from Richard: for example the RM019-01, this time, the lattice work dial is covered in a total of 270 diamond...  

A new version of Richard’s golf watch for the American golfer: Bubba Watson. I liked the RM038 for its bridge design and the ‘lightness’ in construction and finish. This time the g-force meter is added into the mix. The same bridge design is there but now...  

Thank you for sharing the live pics, interesting to see the TZP in green and the alterations to the original RM-038 movement. I must confess to prefer the original RM038 and the purity of the white/grey case. Looks like this uses the larger RM case with a... 

tend to agree with you on the RM038. I prefer the pure version. It is a watch that grew on me. Thanks Andrew H

And the small splash of yellow on top, like a flag stick. Very cool for the golfing fan!

while I am sure he wont scuff a shot, unless required, it would be interesting to actually measure the g-forces exhibited by the swing and impact. It would both serve as a lesson in forces on the escapement, but also the sensitivity of the g-force meter o... 

Another TZP ceramic bezel watch, this time in all black. Definitely playing to the market, where black watches are definitely ‘in’. Similar in style and tone to the limited edition all black RM055 which sold out in near record time recently, the RM061-01 ...  

This has been a long time coming! But as always, Richard wanted it to be just right before launching it. Not one for doing anything by half, Richard tried a number of variations before settling on this. For anyone who can remember the collaborative projec...  

Turns the RM011 into a futuristic machine. I like it and can't wait to try it on in the near future next time I got to a RM store. Cheers, Anthony

its really made of emotion and the longer it spends on your wrist the more it pulls on those emotions, and the heavier it weighs on your mind! I did not expect to like it: I prefer straps, but this one was so very comfortable on the wrist. Looks so very c... 

thanks for your writeup. can the bracelet be mounted on another non-bracelet RM11? OR are the bracelet RM11 cases different from the non-bracelet RM 11 cases? (similar to the Patek 5726 strap v. bracelet case)

the bracelet separately. The reason is that Richard is concerned about aesthetics. The finish on the watch is designed to exactly match the finish on the bracelet and hence be a unified whole. Much like the design aesthetic for the Starck. Watch and brace... 

. . . is the object . . . . . . of your imminent desire? ...

This is obvious, of course, but it is hard to imagine it working otherwise. I have not had much exposure to RM in general, but find this bracelet piece quite compelling.

This bracelet works with both the RM007 and RM037 watches. It reminded me of the name bracelets that French men and women used to wear, and still wear for that matter. Once again, comfortable, or so I am told! Also complex and comes in a variety of finish...  

The blooming tourbillon is really something! I also appreciated the bracelets. Thanks Andrew for the report. Fx

.

I am astonished and even a little attracted to a Richard Mille watch! Yes - you read this right....admiration from me at last. At first glance, I thought this was a simple gem-set watch. Then, I realised the flower petals opened to reveal the tourbillon! ...  

century, or centuries past, that has a mechanism like this. Quite something from the company normally associated with new materials and cutting edge science! Richard definitely knows how to put the 'haute' into high horology! Andrew H

Thank you for this extensive report, Andrew! :) I really like that RM and other brands starts to focus more on ladies watches! The ladies deserve it! :) Best Blomman

complex watches that are specifically designed for ladies. Which is a great thing to see! Richard's are definitely at the forefront of what is available, both in terms of design, and in terms of complexity. Thanks Andrew H
