Richard Mille, I don't get it

New Top gear magazine just hit the mat, it has a full page advert for the Caliber RM 028 priced £56500, How? why? It doesn't look special or clever, in the same mag there is a mention of the RM004 Filipe Massa at £184000

The Rotary rip off's don't look that much different

Is it just me that doesn't get it, can someone explain please

I have looked at the website, to me it looks like a load of waffle and marketing, If they are serious pieces of watch engineering and are making some sort of contribution 21st century watch making where are they in the heap, Unless they are made of precious metals or are covered in jewels none of the others seem to ask these outrageous prices.

Maybe they are what a footballer buys when he has everything else.

They go for around $20K mint but second hand. Not too bad when the £ was at very nearly 2 to 1 with the dollar.

Mine is titanium and is very nice, although the straps are stupidly expensive and don't last.

Now at that sort of money they do make sense
