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.

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!
