new richard mille boutique at ion orchard....

FYI...

the new boutique will operate from 15 Nov 09........

level 3 unit 26 ion orchard.....

as for the look, all richard mille boutiques are somewhat similar.....

will there be boutique edition watches..???

maybe not as this is more of a relocation.... rather than setting foot in another country....

more reading.....

i saw the latest issue out at the news stand....

but i resisted buying cos sometimes i can get a free copy.... so i rather be patient and wait till i get it...

for this month, there's a special on JLC's new range of navy seals diving watches.....

and also a very in-depth and refreshing feature on richard mille (the person) and felipe massa..... which makes very good reading......

thank you..!!

welcome back.....!!

it surely must feel good to be back .....

so it's also my pleasure to say welcome back felipe..!!

and next year will be so tough with fernando alonso right beside him..... but looked at how he handled the pressure of racing alongside kimi raikkonen...... he's now true-blue multiple race winner himself....

notice the watch on his wrist? i wonder if this is the same richard mille rm011 he wore when he crashed at hungaroring.... if yes, isnt that a tough little beast of a watch as well haha....

the lucky 10.....

oh gosh....... it's another LE edition but ...... this time there's abit of difference in the execution cos hey hey there are only 10 pieces..!!!

i am quite sure at press time, all 10 are already accounted for...... so the rest of us can only admire the picture..... or go for the regular edition.......

indeed over the years there have been many LE for the rm011...... of course there are some winners, in particular the singapore gp edition and the chronopassion black edition etc

in comparison with the rest, the le mans edition looks abit muted ....... and so the regular edition remains the best bet at the most reasonable price.....

overheard....

overheard this afternoon........

this guy was telling the rest that he owns a rm012...and rm009..... and also the rm011 singapore gp edition...... and etc.....

hmmmm..... so shiok.....

haha..... some ppl just have the luck ...err i mean the money rather....

got me thinking: how long do i need to save up to buy a S$300,000 watch...????

sigh, it's too painful to even think about it.......

the richard mille rm023

this is my first sighting of the very new richard mille rm023............

and i was struck by the finishing of the rose gold bezel........ as smooth as butter and as reflective as a mirror.......

be very careful if you buy this cos it's going to be tough to keep scratches away haha.....

mille mille

if you visit here often, you'd know that i am a BIG richard mille fan......... and i always try to share the goodies with you guys.....

quite some time ago, i was at my regular AD and had the chance to try on a couple of classic pieces.....

one....... a richard mille rm010 in rose gold..........

for rm watches, rose gold is a good choice cos there's a alluring visual effect .... unlike titanium and white gold, rose gold is very obvious..... and has a warm tone that's very soothing..... 

i had a hard time trying to guess which piece was in titanium .... or white gold.... in the end, i got it all WRONG haha....

two........ a richard mille rm011 le mans LE in titanium.......

alas, trying is one thing......... able to afford is another............ 

pls pardon the blurry pics cos the camera-phone wasnt really that GOOD.....

rose gold and abit of red....

there isnt much difference between a "normal" rm011 in rose gold and the americas version...... one will be hard-pressed to spot the changes......

except for the red surround on the winding crown and also the red luminova on the hands, i think you could have missed it.......

it's still a VERY attractive automatic chronograph and if you have seen a rose gold rm011 in the flesh, you will be impresssed cos it's such a monster of a watch....... SO thick and SO muscular.....

well, the "normal" version retails for S$130,465.... and are in the stores now....

sightings...

over the weekend, spotted:

one lady at vivocity wearing a yellow gold rolex yachtmaster 2..... the very first time i saw someone wearing this watch....

one lady wearing a yellow gold richard mille watch.... but i cant be sure whether was it a rm007 or rm005.....

the mille diver

oh yes these are the first live pictures of the rm025.................. the million dollar titanium/gold masterpiece for the richest of dive masters.... :)

so it looks as thick as a tin car of tobacco...? almost almost, surely it's a chunk of a watch...... and one needs a big wrist to carry the look....

it is really TOO massive.....

bluessss....

between the standard edition, red, green and blue editions, i'll pick the red.... i.e. singapore gp edition.....

but i guess the blue is pretty nice as well.......... for the US of A....

no doubt it's a colour game.....

still very expensive for most ppl ..... except the rich 

the thinnest ever richard mille....

and yes....... it's thin but it's no watch.......

just a richard mille towel.......

however the material isnt sufficiently soft for use on watches....... it's unlike the polishing cloth my AD uses.....

thanks to a friend who kindly presented me with not one but two........... thank you css & gf!

RM025 update

wow.... saw the report in the chinese papers....

retail price = S$1,240,000.

interesting....???

what do u think of cvstos watches???? well i happen to have no liking for them in any way......

but as you probably know, like and dislike are so so so subjective....... 

to know more about them, here's a very good but so lonnnnnnnnnnngggg discussion thread......

http://www.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpostf&fi=17π=2888451&ti=482466&s=0

happy reading........

holllllliiieeeeee a new richard mille......!!!

wowo ........ here's the new richard mille diving watch....... which is a all new design called the RM025.........

i find it incredible when they managed to squeeze a chronograph and tourbillon this the case...... and even make it work......... i cannot imagine the challenge and complexity involved..... WOW!

alas, it's a manual-winding timepiece.......... to make the 300m WR possible, the trademark rm tonneau case was dropped........ no choice bcos of the huge water pressure down low ....

to me, this is a jaw-dropping effort.............!! i have no idea how much will it costs............. but it wont come cheap........

how i wish....

yes ... there are so many nice watches to buy but always the cash is never enough...... haha.......

only the well-endowed have the luxury of snapping up limited editions and sought-after pieces...... while the rest can only admire from afar.....

however, one has to learn to be contented...... if not life will only be miserable.....

of cos i wish i could buy the richard mille rm011 felipe massa singapore gp limited edition..... but alas, even at over S$130k each, all 50 pieces are sold....... sigh....

cheers and congrats to all the lucky owners.....

my dream watch..!!

richard mille has released more pics via horomundi on this latest rm011.........

oh my gosh i wanna this but it's so expensive....... the last known list price is S$128, 999 and i have no idea if this version will cost more....



haha maybe i can try selling all my watches ..... but no no, i am not going to do that............
