    Just seen this startling new watch design: http://richardmille.com/watch/rm-70-01/

    It’s been designed for cyclists, apparently, but I have no idea what kind of cyclist (apart from a stupidly rich one).

    I’ve seen Cavendish wearing his, odd they didn’t use that association really, rather than an old racing driver who cycles a bit.

    I suspect we are missing the point though, as RM is all about the motorsport association, where money flows more freely than with the average cyclist.

    Though that said, I’m surprised no other manufacturers have cottoned on to making a pricier cycling watch for the more money’d MAMILs

    MAMILSWATCH! Brilliant!

    To coin a phrase, that fell off the ugly wheel and hit every spoke on the way through. As well as looking like it was designed by a 3 year old with a set of crayons, much of teh blurb that comes with it sounds like it was penned by said child with a particularly ill-trained set of crayons. What a load of tripe!

    I’m loving the innovation and the engineering, but hating the watch, the price and the clientele it’s aimed at.

    I should have gone with epitomises (And changed the sentence somewhat) but had that word in my head as the right one to say what I meant. I love learning/updating so it’s all good.

    Well I think stuff like that

    Well I think stuff like that is brilliant.  It’s always good to discover expensive stuff that I wouldn’t have/wear even if I was paid to.

    Why would you want that when you can get any Mvmt watch for £150

    Although if money was no object I might fancy the obscenely overcomplicated Devon Tread:
