Richard Mille - One Off Collection in YOKOHAMA
2012
This is the photo report of the Richard Mille event where new/ rare pieces (as well as often seen models) gathered from all over the world at a very nice venue - Yokohama, my home town at the bay view hotel banquette room. Nice atmosphere, surroundings reminded me of very fond but sad memories. The exact hotel where I and my late wife had the engagement party (with just two families), nearby is the spa/ hot spring where we went together with my sister's family but my father passed away a few years ago as well. Well, the time flies. I had been avoiding these places, but it is not right. It is time to move on already. Anyway, when I got the invitation, I felt some meaning of this opportunity and I thank RM Ginza Boutique manager, Shigeta-san who has now become a very good friend of mine very, very much for that.
There were so many pieces I want to show you, so please read on the child thread of this for the beautiful pieces of RM. You would not see these pieces at one place so often. I guarantee it.

Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel - the venue
A lot have changed in the past years.
Inside the room
Just a part of the collection which you may see often.
Ocean view, of course.
Wish the weather were better - called "Bay Bridge".
As always, special thanks to Shigeta-san, the Ginza Boutique Manager, and Moriyama-san who spent such a long time with me. I always feel at home when I visit RM Ginza Boutique. Thank you.
Please read on!

Richard Mille 007 There were several 007s and all are wonderful, even for my wrist. M. Ri chard Mille is a man of idea - in the bottom o f the rotor is the small balls of go ld, to increase the m oment as well as aesthetics. To be continue d.... ...

Interesting to see RM011's with jewels now I personally don't think they look that great but then again I'm not the intended target customer. The setting of the stones on the side of the case - that's the first time I've seen someone do this. Thanks for the report Ken! Cheers, Anthony

Richard Mille 018 "Hommage a Boucheron" The color of the "stones" are nice in this one. Wow, such transparent gears? ...

Richard Mille 026 This, very interesting.... Must be for a jewel loving man? Honestly, not for me, but well made, I admit. Diamonds and Black Sapphires. The base plate is On y x. Such a craftmanship! Even the buckle.... Not bad, but no t f or me.... ...

Richard Mille 050 The Carbon version of 056 (all crystal one). This one reminds me of 027 in terms of its light weight. Of course, due to more complication module (double split) has made it a bit heavier, but still very light in the carbon case. Maybe a bit big, but the bl...
