......yep, not only does the watch fit the bill in terms of being built for purpose, it has that genuinely robust sporty look that works too. Even the case back had me fascinated.
Pablo MacDonough, Richard Mille's polo ambassador looked down at his watch, back at me, and simply stated: "Polo is the hardest sport on a watch; more than racing cars, more than tennis or golf, it just is. That's why we gave so much thought to the RM053 ...
I loved the insights Pablo gave us about the polo sport. I makes me appreciate this sport much more. Now I know why this sport is generally for the more affluent - imagine the cost of maintaining these horses! And since you really can't transport them aro...
my base response, without any scientific justification, is that you can treat the ATZ material like steel. Get a 'Sharpe' marker and the mark will be there even if you try and wash it off with soap and water. Can it be polished out? I would imagine so. In...
...the most interesting review of the last times! oh how much I enjoyed reading! Thank you Andrew, and thanks Richard for another outstanding piece! best regards, Chris
article into ATZ, but a great deal of it can be found on the web. Material science journals are full of articles about new medical applications for the material. Thanks for reading and good to see you here. Andrew H

Richard's "press party trick" at the beginning was to throw the watch (the RM001 or RM002) across the room on his way in to demonstrate the impact resistance and durability. Nothing has changed in that regard. Andrew H
Never knew that so many horses were required for the sport. Also, never knew that the horses suffered so many problems. That last photo is amazing and chilling at the same time. This polo watch is distinctive and very white. Easy to see. I'd be really con...
All my qualms are defeated. Now all I have to do is sell the house, the kids to medical experiments, and raid the retirement fund. Wait a minute, I don't have those to raid.
As happy as i am to get confirmation that the rm 10 and 35 holds up well to this rigorous sport, and they should, given that they're sport watches, I'm a little sad to hear that the 53 is mostly looked at. It wants to be worn and played!
