- Whether you like Richard Mille or not-and it’s a hotly contested topic-you have to at least acknowledge that the avant-garde brand does things a little differently. Since the release of the 2001 RM001, Richard Mille has chosen to define the watches it makes by going down a different route to traditional Swiss watchmaking-and here are five things that particularly stand out.

When you desire a unique tan line on the wrist. Buy this watch
Xaxa
That moment when even your tan line shows your rich. Now that's luxury
@@fahimmosharrof7209 A very unique form of "luxury" and "status". The RM tan line.
haha good one
That or a Hublot as they are shaped the same
My gf's first impression of the watch: ''Is that finished?''
Leave her
Lol
Paweł Glita finish her
Lol, marry her.
You have a girlfriend?
Not normally a fan of RM, but I do like that model. Different without going too OTT.
Yeah kinda clean look made it better
While I am definitely not a fan of the styling of RM watches, this model and the features described in this incredible video presentation give me greater appreciation of the care and thought the designers have invested in its engineering. Thanks again, Watchfinder.
I've seen many of the Watchfinder videos and I'm always impressed by your depth of knowledge about watches, movements, and incredible details of specific manufacturers. You deliver a home run on every video you produce. Kudos to you for a job very well done! It's a distinct pleasure experiencing your enthusiasm as a horological expert and secretly a watch geek at heart. Keep up the great work, intense research, and brilliant videos. You have my respect and admiration for your contribution and excellence.

Bubba is about as popular as measles so I am baffled to why someone would pay him to advertise a high end watch? RM are just Hublot on steroids and appeal to the same people.
Dude nice video, very informative as always.. Actually fell in love with alange sohne and rm because this channel
That was the best video I’ve seen about a Richard Mille watch. Super informative! Great job
Hated this at the start. Loved it at the end.
You’ve done a great job! As usual!
No matter how hard i try, i just can't love these watches.
Gianni Rivera thats OK
No one's forcing you to !?
Try to set the money for it aside first.

Not sure if RM is really worth their insane prices. But you certainly provide a better understanding and appreciation of their products and watches in general. I love the way you explain all those technical details here. Thank you for another excellent video. :-)
Absolutely fascinating watch reviews BUT there is one thing I am missing dearly every single time: Wrists shots and portraits where you got a couple poeple wearing the watch so you can really get a feel for the size, the colours and stuff.
Folks that can afford a RM don't need some other guys opinion if they like it are not ... Just average Joe that can't afford it anyway
@@phillippugh2161folks that can afford it aren’t watching this video. Us watch enthusiasts are and the truth is most of us will never be able to wear one of these even as a test/trial fit. Also, these videos aren’t made by an RM AD so their intended audience isn’t the RM buyer, its the watch nerd that wants to experience things through video when the real thing isn’t an option.
Congratulations. Yours are the most polished watch videos I've seen to date.
Like always, spectacular video. Thanks
Developed their own proprietary screw head to correctly torque them _my eye!_ To prevent 3rd party maintenance.
Great video as always!
i cant stop watching these videos
Me too!

You need a life bruh
Wow the Best Macro Video you made so far. Stunning! Richard Mille might not be the taste for everyone but it is indeed "special"
And some people have the nerve to say that Rolex is overpriced....
Yes bcoz Rolex is cheap looking watch that charges stupid money just bcoz it has been around since dinosaurs
@@Vitalstatistix and most RMs look like they came out of a ToysRus closing down sale but that doesn't stop them from charging hilariously astronomical prices.
Those people that say Rolex and RM are overpriced don’t even own a Luxury watch
2 wrongs don't do 1 right
@@Vitalstatistix A Rolex looking cheap, yes sure I guess you have never ownes one to proof your point?
I still don't get why it's so expensive.
You will never get it! This is only for the guy who can get easy money without brain.
It's specifically made in expensive way for the sake of being exclusive and expensive. If you value efficiency, go for G-shock.
It‘s just because of the low availability. A nice strategy.
@@lumixs1np289 RMs are everywhere
I would much rather get an A. Lange & Söhne instead. Still impressive watchmaking.
And if you don't take the one from the top shelf you could grab yourself a PP or JL too.
People who buy a RM will just buy both!
It’s like choosing a Bentley over a Lamborghini, very different watches
@@Kyle-jg7qr agree the RM is like a rolls Royce made of the finest material it looks good n this one floats just like one and the A. Lange & Söhne is the vision of one company, probably one man, built like a super car with every part built within tight tolerance of each other and if a ignorant collector gets his hands on either one it will be destroyed.
Marc8 A.Lang and Patek is more of an Rolls Royce like classic handmade, RM is more an McLaren like high tech super performer. 🤷♂️😂
To be honest, when I first saw/heard of Richard Mille, I could not understand why the watches are so expensive. When looking at AP, Patek, Vacheron, I can see as the craftsmenship stands out. Now that I see more and more, I can see why they are priced the way their are. I find the style, though, is too bold for me. I still enjoyed the more traditional style. Great video. I would not know the details of Richard Mille if it wasn't for this video. Keep up the good work.
That watch has terrible finishing on the hands. You can see the metal burrs. Wouldn’t expect on a disposable watch let alone one In this price bracket.
While the watch isn't to my taste (or my budget!) it's great to see such engineering advancements that we can hope, one day, will filter down to more affordable watches
Absolutely love it! Wish I could afford two of them.
The prices for RM watches are no doubt pretty crazy, but the fact is there really is no alternative/substitute if you want something remotely similar. If you want an RM, you'll have to pay the price and get an RM.
soubido I bet the Chinese will have an almost as good RM clone in the next 5-10 years selling for a 100th of the price.
Nothing similar to RM? Ever heard of Franck Muller or Urwerk?
Another amazing detail video......
best watch channel by miles
THANKS
Ooooh special screws. Such investment.
Actually used RM hold there value quite well you should pay more attention
Instead of buying screws from another company they had to design and create a machine to make the screws. Same for the screwdriver. Huge cost and risk for the company. I think this is what he meant
Finishing absolutely sucks for something so expensive, I'll take a Grand Seiko and a house thanks
You noticed that too. The close up on the name showed so many flaws.
Depending on your location you might get multiple houses or even a mansion
@@g-shack3655 which flaw?
@@shahlegno5890 @7:48 on the "O". No excuse for a $150,000 watch.
Matthew O'Leary It may be done on purpose, to show it’s been done by hand.
The Ed Hardy of watches
But great explanation video as always
That is a great comparison 👍
Ed Hardy is worse be honest😂
hahaha
How do you wind it after it stops or does it run off of a battery ?
Nice video mate
Your most informative video ever, I'd say. What do I like most about RM watches? The computer-age font of the hour numerals. They just thumb the nose at the idea of an exclusive, collectible watch. Second, the curved case. The skeletonized movement next.
I think you're going to hit 1 million subscribers by mid next year! Best watch channel on you tube by far! Hodinkee take note!
Never disappoints!
Excellent video 👏👏
"...while taking chunks out of a golf course" That is a perfect description of the game.
اخوان هاي ساعة تركته فد 3 اشهر هيج وبعد لبستها شو واكفه متشتغل اوتماتيك ع حركة او النبض اسمه Richarb Mille
شنو الحل اذ ممكن من فضلك
Love RM Great video thanks
Excellent video as per.
Not my cup of tea, but I can still appreciate the engineering and art involved. Good job we don’t all like the same thing.
Please how do I set the time I have one here I don’t know how set the time
6 figure gshock
That’s an insult to gshock lol. I personally think they look better
I would dare say that G-Shock have more details and better finish
Don’t disrespect G-shock like that
I like the fact that they are ludicrously expensive.
Allowing me to know I will never have one and finding fantastic watches for a lot lot lot lot less.
Not that you could afford it anyway ..... 😏
It's fascinating but you can always have your caddy tell the time for you..
Yes its impressive. But its also impressively ugly and tasteless, no doubt appealing to the Beverly Hills/Bel Air/Vegas minority to whom it is marketed, and can afford it.
+1...My thoughts as well.
a rolex is tasteless too
@@henryettoit897 A rolex is tasteless?
@@j.e.1988 its as tasteless as an LV bag. boring and everyone has one, its not interesting.
Henry Ettoit it still keeps its value far better than RM. put it this way if I buy a Rolex and after 20 years I guarantee you’ll either get a slight less amount or more when selling.
Way, way overpriced. All marketing hype, pumped up by the F1 drivers and rappers.
+1...My thoughts as well.
lol what did you think they would do? not try to make as much money as possible? age of true art is diminishing
@@RintTheReaver They have to recoup the money spent those mega buck sponsorships.
refreshing to see these comments, easy to tell that the average subscriber of watchfinder is a true fan and appreciates the engineering and craftsmanship. I'm quite sure that these Richard Milles sell because they are big and bold and show how wealthy you are. What I appreciate of this brand is the mastermind that the owner has had to make so much money with this business instagram-like advertising, true business genius...very poor watch for the money obviously
Agreed, woudnt pay much about that watch.
Liked.
And
Please review skeleton watch by tissot. I found it to be a reasonably priced Swiss made watch.
Sapphire bearings do not have to be red or blue. Let them be CLEAR. Epic statement. I'm enjoying your series very much.
I like the shape, and most of all the movements that they develop for their watches
Why aren't the pallet jewels clear as well?
I wondered that as well. Also, why _don't_ they use synthetic diamond for the bearings? At that price point, it's not as if that'd be a problem of cost…
Chromium-rich jewels (red) usually withstand abrasions caused by constant friction much better than clear jewels. For pinion jewels, where area of friction is literally a micron-wide point its not a problem. Pallet jewels on the other hand have much wider area of friction, the use of chromium-rich jewels is more appropriate.
indramatic so...his speech about 'jewels colour isnt useful' is incorrect?!
@@akidfani11111 , I think what he meant was that colored jewels did not add value as bearings to the pivots. As Indramatic has mentioned above, application of cromium to synthetic corundum is apt for the use in anchor pallets. So, this is where they are red.
indramatic Ah, okay, makes sense. Thanks!
Not a fan of handwinding on watches but it just allows this watch to look so simple and just nice to look at.. thus making it my favourite richard mille by far.
I really do like the design and would love to see more manufacturers take advantage of that shape...as for the technical features, nothing that was mentioned in the video seems so special to me to justify the price - materials, colorless rubies (really necessary to point that out?? BTW purple rubies would stand out beautifully) and other stuff. Custom movement is for anything above say $15 grand a necessity. Sorry RM, me as well cannot see where the ridiculous money goes. I like the design though and some really complex movements are cool...but again, those cost north of $500 grand and that is completely bizzare
Sir your automotive references are really helping a petrolhead understand the terms thorougly. thanks!
Finishing on the hour hand is really subpar for the price.
What is it that don't you like? Out of curiosity!
I noticed that too! For 150K it should be absolutely perfect with no blemish.
@@jacopochiefjaco123 there is an unsightly bump near the inner crus at the tip of the hand.
The finishing on literally every single component of the watch is subpar for the price.
@@jacopochiefjaco123 I also notice one of the torx bolt on the movement wasn't finished correctly and the rubber crown had wear marks. For that price the brand should offer free crown swaps at every boutique. Plus the pallet jewels were off the shelf items and didn't match the colorless jewels.
Alright new video sleep can wait
Thanks for the video! Love the brand. Polarizing brand for sure, but I don’t think it warrants all the hate that’s thrown at it.
The fact is: there IS a market for this brand. End of the day, it’s all a matter of preference. Im not the biggest patek or ALS fan but I still appreciate their watchmaking because it’s impeccable. (AP / Journe still top 3 along with RM just imo).
Now whether RM stands the test of time or not remains to be seen, but you have to give credit to the brand for: innovation, and marketing accordingly.
No such thing as overpriced if there’s a market. Will everyone who can afford this watch buy it? Course not. But some will and that’s all any product needs really. Just my $.02
Is it normal for certain RMs to make a ticking sound?
If I had the money I would probably spend it on a car or another watch brand. But the attention to detail is incredible. Great video.
Brilliant content
Looks amazing. Synthetic rubies were already experimented with in the late 1800s
Richard Milles are so strange and unusual yet I still gravitate towards its style
Good video.
P.D. Why does the crown look bad?
I honestly think Richard Mille make some amazing watches. My only complaint is that so many of them are difficult to read the time on as so much thought has gone into producing some incredible piece and then showing off the movement like in this watch. I wish they would do more to make them functional (i.e. useful for timekeeping) as well as brilliant.
Perhaps they should make one for me to practice this idea, I'll 'test' it for them ;-)
great video... if i am being picky ... i am not sure about the clear sapphire.. the rest is a killer watch
Can you review the new omega seamaster aqua terra please 😃👌
I never knew how to describe my point of view about these time pieces but i found the perfect metaphor, ok they are so expensive and not even 50 year old company, they remind me of the kids that were born after 2000 but they go and line up and camp out for the air jordans that released back when they weren’t even born. Thats how i feel about these time pieces.
What I don’t understand is ... why are the different color variants not available on the website. Like the all grey version... u can barely find it on the internet
Is the tip of the hour hand dirty?
This is one of the best RUclipsrs out there. I applaud the craftsmanship of Richard Mille but I've never enjoyed the overall look of these products.
That's actually the first Richard Mille that I like the look of. All the others are pretty much illegible to me, but there's something about the time only 'simplicity' of the RM055 that I like.

Story about the saffier is mind blowing that we are fooled for perfection thanx for that good story
Dan Bilzarian approves this video!
The shop URL in the description should use a % instead of an &
How about RM052 skull titanium limited silver and red skull?
30m WR hell no brother
Yeah I was about to comment the same. How can you make such an expensive watch that is so resistant to impacts and destined for sports, and give it 30m water resistance? Fuck that.
@Vlad Tepes for example when you go swimming you need at least 50 metres, btw cool username
Vlad Tepes Let’s hope that if it’s a limited edition RM that the billionaire wearer doesn’t get thrown in his mega yacht swimming pool by his drunk friends then (just in case the 30m WR doesn’t hold up).
HAPPY 400 000 SUBSCRIBERS
Well, usually I tend to not like very much RM models, but the caliber of this watch is simply so fucking beautiful...
Even to the rich, it must be odd when you look at what's on your wrist and realise you've paid 150k for a hand wound high end chinesium time piece. I'd rather a g shock and a Ferarri 458 thanks. With change for a couple of Submariners.
And that's the smart thing to do
That brings it isn't perspective. Hell I'd skip the Ferrari, keep the G-Shock, and invest the rest...
@@BenDunlop Invest it in hookers and blow. That'll lead to a very fun month.
People buying a 150K watch like this already have a Ferrary, Bentley and 10 other cars, Pateks, Langes, a yacht, few houses and a private jet. So it's not a big deal as it is for most people.
@@smashexentertainment676 plenty people save up for purchases like this, they're not always necessarily in the top 1%. I've made a few "dream purchases" in my life and there have certainly been times where I've ended up sitting behind the wheel of a fancy car saying "well, this is actually pretty shit"
I own a Richard mille RM27-02, limited edition Rafael Nadal . How does this watch cost ??
Nice engeneering but a 30mt water resist for a 150000€ watch seems crazy to me when my humble 50€ g-shock resist to 200mt.
Do you need to swim with it though or is that just a extra? It's made to be able to be submerged not relax at 200m
2:30 isn't titanium about. 40 to 45% lighter than steel (not less than half) and has a higher strength to weight ratio than steel, which means that a watch of the same dimensions in steel would still be stronger, but at a heavier weight?
I appreciate the overall shape, as well as the case, but I don't enjoy looking at any RM dials (or lack thereof). They're messy and confusing to look at. I feel that a more refined dial is needed somewhere in the RM line.
I never appreciated these watches, just thinking of them as expensive and ridiculous. Thank you for the new appreciation! I’m not even sure which of the 5 weird things I liked the best!
AmaZing. I love them!!!!! Super cool. I want one! Green one
Go and meet Richard Mille
Super video.
did anyone else notice some rather suboptimal oiling on some of the jewels? One of the train jewels pretty obviously has oil on the flats, and the escape wheel has bubbles in the oil on one side.
Look at 3:32 on the 4th wheel, and 5:35 in the escape insetting. All sorts of crap floating around in there
As a golfer, (for this price point) it’s missing a distance tracker at least 😉
RM is the hubcap spinner of the watch world, in my opinion.
The RM Airbus edition is one of those crazy models
Not my taste but its amazing how RM has created a market and is successful. Perhaps its most recognisable feature is the case shape which funnily enough is fairly traditional. Interesting that it RM suffers from the criticism that the Royal Oak or Hublot did.
2:33 "..[titanium] doesn't melt until well beyond 1500 deg. C, is anti-magnetic..."
1. Titanium *burns* in air at temps well below 1000 C. It also burns in pure nitrogen gas, starting at 800 C. Do NOT try to melt titanium! 🔥
2. Titanium *is not* "anti-magnetic", it is paramagnetic (weakly attracted). Magnetic fields easily pass through it and will affect the movement.
I love the colors on that one
Speaking as an Industrial Designer, RM has managed to brilliantly appeal to the people who have more money than sense. The net profit from one of these watches is insane (maybe 80% a piece) Just think that you could buy a house for the money you spend on something like this. High-End plastic at it's finest.
Speaking as an Industrial Designer and businessman, you're probably out by at least 200%. Last time I checked Titanium isn't a polymer either?
Unfortunately, these types of watches discoursing to a minority. A minority who has not only taste but background. Unfortunately because my hauttman watches are compared with rm and those who have bought and liked are either from science background or artists.
crnkin2 titanium isn’t expensive
6AL-4V Ti is about 5x more expensive than 316 SS by the ton but 1/2 the density so roughly 10x the price per watch. It's ok though, your opinion is cheap too.
crnkin2 insulting people doesn't help your point. With the amount of money they make on one of these watches, they don't even have to budget for Titanium...let's be real
Is it possible to review a pinion watch?
If Richard Mille with Bubba Watson ; the watch made of plastic and steel can generate watch that sells for $250,000
Rolex with Tiger Woods, Gary Player, Jack Niclaus , Arnold Palmer, should sell at least $1 million a piece.
The Emporer's New Clothes. I'll just leave it there.
Chinese movement decorated with his design and flare..This is Art :)
Such a beautiful simple but complex looking watch yet the price makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
