Hello,
RM is not a manufacture, and in fact doesn't want to be !
For your general information (excuse me if you already are aware of this):
The term 'manufacture' is a bit of PR terminology; the Swiss never worked liked that until there was a reaction against everyone using ETA and selling them as their own or even as haute horlogerie.
Even today, no manufacture makes everything themselves....but it sounds impressive :-)
RM uses the best people, the best specialists for each aspect of his watches; the design and concept are directly under his control and supervision (or RM's own in house engineers and experts).
This is very much the manner in which the entire Swiss watchmaking world worked since the end of 16th century.
Ciao,
Theo
