When it comes to horology I travel on the traditional (and perhaps practical) side of the road. But I have always been a fan of Richard Mille timepieces ; avant-garde in the use of materials and design, but traditional in terms of wearability and finishin...  

To me it is a ...

great watch, except the size and (for me and my bankaccount) the price. It reminds me of the memento mori watches from the past, but in a very modern way. Would love to have one, in general. Andrew, thanks a lot for sharing this awesome piece. Oliver

The size ...

Actually I find that most RM watches seem to 'disappear' on the wrist. It's partly the curved case and the well designed straps and buckles/deployants, but in the case of the Skull it is also the light titanium case. I couldn't wear it if it was in heavy ...

As manywatch enthusiasts here I don't see myself wearing skull decorated watches but the finishing quality of this RM is phenomenal. This is really a big watch I could yet wear as an artwork. I love the way RM cases are built and decorated but this dial i...

Andrew, Some thoughts were sparked by your missive. I just realised that this is a true skeleton watch (sic) :-) I usually do not like skulls; maybe its an abhorrence stemming from the horrors of viva voce in final anatomy examinations at medical school. ...

... back in 2007 when I heard him speak he was very involved in the design of the watches. A very iterative process and he had firm ideas regarding what he wanted. My regard for Richard Mille, the man, as well as Richard Mille, the company, increased enor...

... your nearest Richard Mille Boutique as there were so few made. Los Angeles? They will be able to tell you what is available and perhaps source one for you from the other Boutiques around the world. Good hunting. Andrew
