Richard Mille RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Celebrate 10 years of ultralight partnership.
In 2010, Richard Mille announced a collaboration with tennis genius Rafael "Rafa" Nadal, and launched a breakthrough new watch RM 027. The RM 027 is lightweight and will cause laughter when placed in your hand. It is an engineering marvel. It is both strong enough to withstand the incredible vitality of Nadal’s wrist and light enough to float in the water (yes , Actually). Now, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Richard Mille's cooperation with Nadal, RM 027 ushered in the fifth generation, the brand new and extremely expensive RM 27-04.
Yes, following the very shallow (almost invisible, really) footsteps of 027, we have 27-01 in 2013, 27-02 in 2015, wild 27-03 in 2017 and amazing new RM 27 -04. Compared to the more common commuter fare option, the list of specifications reads like a supercar. total weight? 30 grams (with strap!), the cable-suspended manual-winding tourbillon movement weighs only 3.4 grams. This case is made of something called "TitaCarb", and like the past examples, it was designed for Nadal to play tennis. men replica watches
27-04 is 38.4 mm wide, 47.25 mm wide and 11.4 mm thick. It is a hollow barrel-shaped watch. The case is made of the above-mentioned TitaCarb and contains 38.5% carbon fiber. It has excellent tensile strength (3,700 kg)/cm² , For those who want to know) at the same time as light as possible. The sapphire crystal front and back provide an incredibly cool and tennis-style sporty design, which is suspended in a grid formed by steel cables with a diameter of 0.27 mm, and the movement is fixed by two (red) turnbuckles In place.
The weaving of the steel cable is inspired by the weaving of a tennis racket. Although it is easy to simply try to make your tennis watch look like a racket, RM has put in extra effort here to make a watch that actually relies on a tennis racket. A similar structure supports the movement and helps it manage the impact and gravity generated by professional tennis players. In the test, the RM27-04 movement of the 27-04 can withstand acceleration of more than 12,000 Gs-this is the first time for Richard Mille. Maintained by a pair of PVD treated 5N gold tensioners, the ultra-tight cable braid forms a unique and exciting dial.buy fake watches
Suspended in a tiny net of 855 square millimeters is the RM27-04 movement, which is a manual winding movement equipped with a tourbillon. It has been completely hollowed out and can be seen from both sides of the dark matte light weight case. arrive. As mentioned above, all these elements are concentrated in a package that weighs only 30 grams. For reference, I recently weighed a popular micro-brand 38.5 mm steel three-handed scale, weighing 134 grams, and its bracelet size. Want more? In 2017, Richard Mille launched the RM 50-03 McLaren F1, which was the lightest split-second chronograph in the world at that time. It weighs 40 grams. Finally, the original RM 027 weighed only 20 grams (19 grams for RM 27-01), so although 27-04 is heavier, the previous Rafa RM cannot match 12,000 G. So far, you can only bend physics, at least until 27-05.
I said before, but despite the absolute fact that I will never own Richard Mille, I just like the brands they do. And, if you are like me (pragmatic in practice, but essentially romantic obsessive), you might only see their watches like supercars: I like their existence and they are special. Again, I don’t care about tennis, but I think these are very cool exercises in cutting-edge mechanical watchmaking and legitimate and interesting ambassador marketing.high quality replica watches
M 27-04 can certainly make your wallet feel lighter by more than 30 grams. This is only a problem for a small group of people-high heels and very privileged watch nerds. As for the rest of us, we need to be happy enough to hope that one day we can see a passing person in traffic (or watch Nadal get more victories on the tennis court).
