Quick try of the RM011 Black Night
I could handle this quite recent version of the RM011 (100 pieces limited edition) lately and it looked very good: very light, nice looking, modern and very technical...
The wearing experience of RM watches is quite a unique feeling, especially when made of light materials.
The case is in NTPT which remains discreet when seen "live". The red flange is a little less "orange" in the real, and the NTPT a little darker; the picture was taken under a strong lighting.
Do you like this NTPT version too?
Cheers, Mark

is that you don't want only one but could get several. Like, to me, the Nautilus line. It is not a watch you'll see much out there so you'll have this little piece of hi-tech material and complicated movement only for yourself. Considering the issue of "w...
Richard Mille watch designs are always a double edged sword for me...
Mark, I always find RM designs challenging as they incorporate highly desirable features with ones that I dislike. Pros: Lightweight material science. Black discreet appearance. Hint of red highlights. Interesting adjustable winding efficiency. Cons: Dist...
I think that when it comes to non-traditional watches
It depends a lot on how you feel about the design. It is more difficult to like a verydifferent and modern design than another classical one. It is usually more a "you like it or you don't" with independents. You've listed what makes people want a RM and ...
Beautiful
How do you find the larger case of the 11 on the wrist compared to the 35? I have recently handles a 29 and thought it was amazing but the look of the 11 is quite appealing but curious to know how it wears as I have not yet had the opportunity to handle o...
Well, Keks, this is all the difficulty to choose a RM
They can be at the right size or very big ones but, they remain very appealing and very comfortable whatever you pick. Hence, to go straight to the point, the RM011 is a fantastic RM (comfy, light, technique, look, material...) but it is quite big for sur...
