Had the opportunity to attend a evening hosted by Richard Mille and try on the new models that were showed earlier in Geneva this year

First off were the RM35 a version of the earlier released Nadal edition, This one has no Tourbillon and weight only 35gr.

Next one was the RM29 a update of the RM10 with a oversized date.

RM30 a smaller version of the RM11 and without the chrono, Instead a Power reserve and a declutchable rotor.
This one was beautiful and perfectly sized

Comparison shot next to the RM11.

The last one was Richard Mille's first "thinner" round watch, The RM33 equipped with micro rotor.

Enjoy

Wow! I've been researching RM as one of my brands. I like that 29 and 30. Do they come in WG or RG? What's the expected availability look like? At 35g, I wonder if the 35 will float like the 27 (23g)?

Those models comes in both WG, RG and TI.
As what they told me was they have not shipped them yet, only taken inquires so far.

I haven't tried the 27, but i can tell you that the 35 was unbelievable light

Nice ... Super nice !!! that RM33 never seen it before. How much is it ?

TSW · 19 October 2011, 06:04 AM

The RM33 is $70,000 in TI, $85,000 in red gold, and $90,000 in white gold.
Can't say that it was instant love, Love the RM shaped ones better

All I can do is appreciate the work that goes into these pieces. Sadly, I will never own one unless Nadal is willing to donate it to me.

Submarino · 19 October 2011, 07:21 AM

Gorgeous pieces Thomas!!!

ocwatching · 19 October 2011, 07:23 AM

That RM35 is pretty sweet...and that RM11 is HUGE!
looks like a fantastic time...thanks for sharing...

Yoda · 19 October 2011, 07:33 AM

Fantastic looking watches. Hope you enjoyed the evening? The RM with oversize date looks good. I always thought the date looks lost with all that is going on with the dial. RM33 my favourite out of your selection. I look forward to seeing it in person.

tuonor · 19 October 2011, 08:53 AM

Really digging the 35. Others, not so much (too cluttered).

drockadam · 19 October 2011, 11:42 AM

Very nice! Richard Mille's are gorgeous watches, I tried one on in Beverly Hills, and I think I crapped my pants when they told me the price. I had no clue, they were that expensive!

sushisummo · 19 October 2011, 12:56 PM

WOW.........

FeelingTheBlues · 19 October 2011, 01:09 PM

Not my type but I do like the look of those movements. Thank you for sharing!

h999r · 19 October 2011, 01:16 PM

Nice pics btw Thomas ! Still love the RM 11 the best.

Manofsteelpt · 20 October 2011, 02:15 AM

That RM33 is sharp!

TSW · 20 October 2011, 08:54 PM

Thank you for all the comments guy's,
And yes....It was a very fun evening

B. Doggy · 21 October 2011, 12:25 AM

RM's are just a different beast all around. I've seen them in person, just haven't handled one. I like my watches on the heavier side though. Feels like I have something special on my wrist.

rossi46 · 21 October 2011, 09:06 AM

They're like the McLaren F1s of the watch world. Doubt I'll ever have the chance to see/try one on in real life. :(

Will they have to run a credit check before letting me see the watches?!
