As Mark has reported the novelty of Richard Mille this year, the highlight is RM50-03.  Please read his detailed post.  
www.watchprosite.com

While I can't give more detailed analysis or review of 50-03 than Mark has done, I would like to post the live pics of the booth and the RM50-03, with other novelties.

Here you go!



The ACTUAL F1 machine which ran 2016 Season.  Gotta say - Do better this year, HONDA!  You were GREAT the last time you were in the game!

Surely a tight relationship between McLaren and Richard Mille.

This book tells you all about RM 50-03.....  Highly technical, I say.

And this is the live photo of RM 50-03.  Sorry for poor quality pics due to challenging light situation.... :-(

Look at this complicated dense movement for the double split function - but can you believe that the weight of this movement is just 7g????

RM 011-03 Blue Quartz TPT

RM 17-01 Tourbillon

McLaren car (model in the display box none)

RM 61-01: To my taste, much nicer, more "gentle" color version none

RM 50-03 is certainly a big surprise - you have to handle it to feel the weight.

The composite is actually used in the F1 machine, so it is the result of collaboration with McLaren.  It is actually used in the F1 machine, but it is never disclosed "where in the machine".
In any case, great invention by the great hand-shake with another great technological/ sports manufacturer.

Congrats, Richard Mille!

Best,
Ken

RM017-01? Hi Ken, Thank you for the live pics, looks like an exceptional booth! Can you give more details on the 17-01? I thought the RM017 was the extra thin tourbillon in rectangular case? This looks like a hybrid of the 038, the 021 and the 014 Perini. Is this a...

Origins In fact Colton it is the RM017 Extra Flat Tourbillon's movement that seems to be put in the RM067's case style (thinner tonneau shape, white ceramic). It is a new reference but I don't have the info yet, certainly later. Maybe Ken will have some if he fin...

Wow!!!! That is amazing, thank you for the explanation and context Mark. To me, this is nearly as exciting as the 50-03. I really enjoy the 067, and the movement here looks very captivating. Very logical move to combine the two and have a tonneau shaped extra thi...

You're welcome Colton :) I like the RM067 very much too. I could try the rose gold version not long ago and will make a small review. It seems indeed that they are going to use that new case proportion a little more. Just a guess but this is something I like too Best, Mark

mark is the 67 strap width same as the 10 if not then this new 17-01 is more of an RM10 case (maybe thinner height) than a 67 what do you think?

I don't know for the strap's size as I couldn't see the watch already. In fact, the aim was to provide a thinner Tourbillon as the square RM017 provided already, but in the Tonneau-shaped case. The RM67-01 had already opened the way and it was logical to go that way for RM. However, I don...

i dont know but my gut feeling is that it is an RM10 case with lower caseband , UPDATE just checked the website and the strap of the 67-01 is designated as 67-01 where as the the 17-01 has a strap of 10L which is the one used on both the RM10 and 29

i think they used the same as the RM26-02 EVIL EYE which is also an RM10 fit

Thank you for sharing your search You may be right indeed from their reference I've just checked on pics. Good point. I imagine it may be more a question of height of the case where the strap is attached than a question of width (just a thought, not an assertion). We'll know when the tech...

Hi everyone, I got a chance to try the very light Richard Mille Lotus F1 RM011 sometime ago and thought I should share my feelings about it. First, you may remember Andrew's fantastic article about its big brother, the RM050 Lotus F1 ( ). The RM011 Lotus F1 I tried is a full NTPT watch (bezel, case-band, pushers and case-back). It also exists with a rose gold caseband.
