Richard Mille

Richard Mille has just unveiled a new model version in the RM035 family, right on time for the Parisian Rolland Garros tournament: The RM035-02 Rafael Nadal in Red Quartz-TPT . The last RM035-01 (picture below) was introduced a few years back in the new N...  

Also the colour is loud enough to continue to get the attention of the commentators!

I didn't make the link with Rafael's citizenship as it uses the RM011 Red Quartz TPT unveiled earlier. Cheers, Mark

Some people like it one way and others like it the other way... Although it would have been more logical to have the Auto thicker than the Manual, I guess it means that it is a direct request from customers. I'm used to looking at the manual caliber and I... 

I'm not usually a fan of Richard Mille watches as they are usually over engineered. In this context of a big venue, a big occasion and a big celebrity at the French Open 2016; the red / yellow combo makes sense....it's the ONLY way to go! Go Big or Go Hom... 

I'm a great fan of auto movements for the practical use but also, when RM is concerned, for the technical interest and look. I imagine your excitement!
