I believe Cartier or Franck Muller had the colored
tank/square style watches the women were wearing and
were not cheap ...All various colors... ?
Was it another brand ? Can't remember but it was huge.

RM clearly makes them because someone will buy them. I just want to know who that person is. They need immediate medical attention. I think these do the brand a disservice. RM was never for me, but i liked their case design. The dials are just too strange now.

technically its impressive!

tastes are subjective, i think at 30 pieces each, it will sell out.

i think the marshmallow one looks pretty cool

I can appreciate the engineering, I just don’t appreciate the price.

I like some of the current RM models and think they would be fun watches to wear on occasion... but these new candy ones are absolutely not for me!

I totally love the Marshmallow!

I can think of many women that would look gorgeous wearing one!
It's not a daily watch for sure, but if you have an entire collection of handbags, highend watches and Haute Couture dresses that may be the righ watch for you instead of buying another diamond-crusted Hublot.

I see your point. Nice change of pace from diamonds. But that same look could be achieved for a couple of grand.

These new models are pretty cool. I’ve always been intrigued by RM, even though I don’t have RM money.

These certainly aren't my favorite, but they have their place- and they will sell them!

I think these are rather cool, obviously aimed at the uber wealthy where $150K for a plastic looking watch is chump change. Quite fresh and "fun" imo

Considering the RM crowd, not a surprise.
