Richard Mille

Hi everyone, I finally found the time to present a little report about the RM035, so here it is. To start with, let me say that Richard Mille truly takes for me a special place in the watch industry today. When one decides to discover its products and goe...  

Excellent report of a master piece , thanks for posting , a pleasure to view....

a very interesting watch, thanks for the kind words :) Cheers.

Thanks very much, a great review of a great watch....

I'm really glad you enjoyed it ! Cheers.

This timepiece is special in so many ways. For me it's the ultra chic casual/sports/beater/'because I can' kind of watch. It's for the 'those who know' and 'get it' and to hell with those who don't. But most importantly, the experience of seeing and touch... 

being able to take care of it. You seem to know that watch quite much ? I'm glad we share this feeling. It is indeed a watch that deserves to make the effort and that would fully give it back. Thanks for your words Fernando ;) Cheers, Mark

... for such a report. Your pics almost makes me want to get one :) I've toyed around the 35 and 27 side by side. The 27 is the main reason that can stop one from getting the 35. Everything is taken to a higher level, the 3D effect, the weight ( 35 felt a... 

and the exercize consisting in taking only one watch in each brand. I of course played the game before asking myself wich one I would get from RM: 002, 008, 022 other etc .... And finally I came exactly to the same conclusion. The one that pushed the limi... 

... car and the 35 is the model for people to buy :) Something like, you get the idea

Many thanks Mark for this review. It give a very good impression of the watch for those of us who have not spent a lot of time with it - as you obviously do! Enjoy it in good health, Regards, Theodore

but I try not to have more than 1 or 2 at home :p But yes I really enjoy everyday life with it. Thanks for the comments Theodore. Cheers, Mark

Great review Mark. When reading, one can feel you really got the spirit behind this watch! And your photos are just awesome! Thanks for posting.

and what I'm looking for in watches. This is not always easy to find and after several months I'm happy with this one. Glad you envoyed it ! Best, Mark

This RM035 is maybe the best option with the Vaucher based movement... Thanks a lot for the comprehensive review. Fx

as regards to many RM ingredients, within a specific budget oc. Thanks for the comments Fx. Cheers, Mark

Thanks Mark, you really wrote all your impressions and how you decide to get this particular RM035, imho you couldn't have done better. And always these beautiful photos :) Richard Mille is an important brand for the way it has changed horology in 2001 (w... 

about the watch and the brand. I'm gald your share this thoughts and yes it takes many of the good without bringing what is sometime "too much". Happy you enjoyed it Cisco ;) Best, Mark

Great to see you are enjoying wearing your RM035. I loved it when I took it for a 'test drive'. I have to say that the improvements between the prototype and the production version, while small, were telling and the production watch is far better. Congrat... 

first real indepth article concerning this watch (a prototype at the time) and very enjoyable to read. If you learn anything new about its life don't hesitate to share it, I love hearing news from my watches. Thanks for the nice words Andrew and keep comm... 

Here is a picture mine. ...  

I hope you enjoy it too!

Thanks !

Glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers, Mark

Beautiful photos and love your owner insights since you've had an extended time to wear your coveted RM masterpiece. Btw, do you wish the caseback wasn't as plain as it is? Cheers, Anthony

A very nice watch to wear. Concerning the plain caseback, I usually prefer sapphire ones (I can make an exception for vintage watches), and for this one I was a bit disapointed at first sight when it was presented the first time. But after I could see it ... 

It would also reduce the weight as well. - AT

It's quite pure as it is. I must admit that I would be afraid of the kind of engravings RM could choose (i.e. the Raphael Nadal's signature would be something I wouldn't like at all) Interesting point you emphasize concerning the weight. But I wonder if a... 

because it would leave me with the feeling of RM being lazy with the design. It would also cheapen the image of the watch too. Maybe RM could have added a geometric outline around the entire caseback. Maybe a rectangle or tourneau shaped engraved outline ... 

A beautiful watch. Forget all the crap that other people conjure when they think of RM. At the end of the day, we buy things that give us the proper utility ratio. Recently, I have often been wearing black V-Neck tees and jeans (some people are thinking i... 

Yes Patrick, I'm exactly on your side. Wherever I come across someone who has found something that fills his feelings and needs I applaud lowdly, whatever people may think. Thanks for the nice input Patrick, and I'll make sure the lume is working on the d... 

and of course the beautiful pics. As for the case back, plain as it is, I prefer it to the transparent one coz it makes the 35 a unique and super-coooooooooooooool member of the family. Guess I should find time to visit the boutique here in Hong Kong. Wea... 

you should really have a look at it, at least for the horological culture ^^ Thanks you ;)

This looks super! Great match w everything. Thanks for the share!

Yes it matches with every kind of clothing, dressy, sporty, I like the mix. Cheers.

must say I concur with most of your thoughts. best, Horo ...  

I would never have forgiven you if you did miss it! ... Joking of course :p Thanks for posting Horo. Light weigt makes good meals even easier to enjoy. Cheers, Mark

I just tried to express what I felt, glad you liked it :) Cheers.
