It looks great in person. Something on the list for you??

Awesome Roger, which is your favourite RM out of the ones you've either owned before or own now?

It is a really difficult one to answer. I love so many of them. Although I haven't owned it the one I most covet is the tourbillon version of the 39. Not ever seen one for sale sadly.

If I were to get back into the brand, that jet black would be the watch to do it. NTPT looks great there, and I love the red accents.

Lovely watch! Love the ultimate!!!!

I heard the event last weekend in Aspen was spectacular! I wanted to attend but was unable. All of RM corporate US was present.

I got a lot of info today on production, past to present (2001-2017), down to the exact number of pieces, as well as the increases for 2017!

Additionally, a lot of info on the 11-03. I think many will be surprised to hear about its intended distribution and how many will be produced. It will be MUCH different than past releases. Don't be expecting them fast, nor from ADs! ;)

Also, a new Nadal, as well as a cycling watch will be introduced very soon.

I will start another thread when I have time, as to not derail the photo thread!

FACTS are ALWAYS welcome here, it's the speculation/gossip that can detail a thread. But whatever you prefer I'm sure it's all interesting.

I heard about Nadal. And yes there is an increase in production as was previously noted. Can't grow a brand if you maintain the same production. Especially with more Boutiques and brand demand.

I know some (cough) were thinking the world is ending for RM, but hope they (cough) have a better understanding now.

Direct from Richard: "In 2015, Richard Mille produced 3,200 watches. Last year, that number increased to 3,500 timepieces, and the company expects to reach about 4,000 this year.

“Our exports last year from Switzerland were around $270 million”--“We had over 20 percent growth. Just looking at last January’s figures, we had a 114 percent increase in sales compared to January 2016.”


Always good to hear it from the horses mouth

Got to try on the 29 again yesterday...

Even with my skinny and thin wrists fit and comfort is top notch and just *feels* amazing.

Go for it, it's a great timepiece and I like the smaller case size as well.

Now that's a picture! Wow the red strap really brings out the accents.

After everything they've done, that Nadal might still be their masterpiece.

Tried on this RM30 at my favourite shop. I love these watches. This is not necessarily the model that I would choose and I'm still learning about the brand but the size of this one felt really good.
