Richard Mille - new watches for this year

[pchong]

Presented in Geneva, this year, the charismatic Richard Mille showed that he still is still in command of interesting watches...here is a selection of his watches he presented at his suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Geneva.


First Richard Mille himself...for those who don't know him, he burst into the high horology scene some 4 years ago with some of the most incredible looking watches - tonneau shapped, interesting case materials. Early references to F1 racing were apparent, as Richard is a big fan of F1 and a great friend to Jean Todt. The brand currently sponsors Filipe Massa and Jean himself wears a RM. All the initial watches were limited editions to very small numbers and all equipped with a tourbillon, and sold for very high prices. Read more at

The RM005 Filippe Massa.



The RM010, which is basically a skeletonised RM005



The RM005, and RM010 feature an adjustable rotor, which allows the watch to be adjusted to the owner's activity levels.



This year also saw the introduction of the stylised numbering on the RM007 - their first ladies watch.



The rotor is carved out, and within the cutout, ball bearings made of gold are allowed to roll freely within, creating a visual spectacle, and provides smoothness to the rotor while winding.



And the boat inspired RM12

I have to agree. Interesting, and pretty unattractive.
