PP and AP are founded by watchmakers and their works are pure art!
Richard Mille himself is a marketing man and there is no history behind their creation. Their watches seem cold and lacking that extra 'x' factor. It's a bit like comparing Bugatti (GERMANIC) against a V12 Ferrari or V12 Lambo. The Bugatti is faster, more expensive, more exclusive and looks more dramatic but I feel more special in an Aventador!

Points well taken.
I think the price on the Richard Milles is the hammer on the gong of caution (nice metaphor, eh?). If RM was less Bugatti-like in its pricing, it might be a less daunting purchase. Also, the foregoing statements about RM as a manufacture are well made. RM has yet to establish itself as a first-tier manufacture. Maybe it will. Let's not forget that Patek, and even Rolex, did not always use their own movements and ébauches....
