It has the name that looks like that of a printer (RM UP-01) but it is the new ultra-thin watch made by Richard Mille in partnership with Ferrari.
It is all mechanical of course, it has a thickness of only 1.75 mm, and is able to withstand accelerations of over 5 g, weighs 2.82 grams and has a power reserve of 45 hours. For reference, a micro sim card is 0.7mm thick. And anyone who has tried to slip one into a phone gives what we’re talking about: nothing.
Of these super ultra-thin – world record – 150 pieces will be made and one of these, luckily (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) will end up on the wrist of Charles Leclerc, testimonial Richard Mille. “Luck” is easy to understand, but “bad luck”? Because? The watch costs $ 1.9 million. And after another Richar Mille stolen from the Ferrari man in Viareggio while he was giving selfies (that was a Richard Mille Rm 67-02, chronograph) for sure he will start the hunt for poor Leclerc again: his toughest opponents will become the snatchers on the Vespini and no more Verstappen or Hamilton.
