Here are some of the pieces that were present at the show:
RM020 - heavy, chunky (especially the chain), and total deviation from the traditional elegance of the pocket watch - a clash of philosophy and style, fascinating...
Well constructed, notice the different styles of polishing on the stand's pushers.
RM025
Several extensions of the previous models
RM022 "Aerodyne", check out the "honeycomb" dial!
RM028. The new diver's watch.
This piece has generated a lot of buzz. Personally, I find many of RM's other creations to be much more fascinating. This piece is quite thick, and I feel that the bezel is too wide, squishing the dial... At the price of over US$70,000, it left me scratching my head a bit...
RM019 - This is my favorite watch at the show - the "Celtic Knot" (or the "Infinity Knot"). The three-dimensional diamond-set gold "thread" passes through various components of the movement, and ties into a knot. The bridge is made out of onyx.
This piece showcases prowess not only in watchmaking, but also in working with precious stones, and in intricate jewelry making... Bravo!
Onyx bridge.
The "Infinity knot" with pave diamonds
Another fascinating piece with strong demonstration of innovation and super craftmanship, in collaboration with the jewelry-maker Boucheron, where the components are made of onyx!
It is said that when held under the light, the stone parts provide a semi-translucent visual effect
How amazing is it that modern machineries can cut stones into thin working parts - projects like these were unthinkable 10 years ago...
