This Ferrari watch is the thinnest and the most expensive
This Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari watch is the thinnest watch in the world and also one of the most expensive.
This Ferrari among watches is the thinnest watch in the world at 1.75 millimeters. Despite the thickness, or thinness, completely mechanical. Suitable for everyday use. If you dare. Because it costs no less than $1,888,000 (1.86 million euros).
Four Ferraris
The ultimate accessory for your Ferrari. So one problem, it is much more expensive. You can certainly buy four Ferraris for that money and they all have a clock. But they don’t fit on your wrist. It takes years of development time, 6,000 hours, and dozens of prototypes have preceded the final result.
It was such a difficult job because Richard Miller was determined to create the thinnest watch in the world. But it had to meet their own quality requirements and be mechanical. If you want to make an ultra-slim watch, you can’t stack the gears like you would with a classic mechanical watch.
Titanium
The base plate and bridges of the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari are made of grade 5 titanium. A highly corrosion resistant and rigid alloy, allowing the gear train to function effortlessly. The alloy consists of 90 percent titanium, 6 percent aluminum and 4 percent vanadium. Materials that are also frequently used in the aerospace and automotive industries.
As mentioned, the ultra-slim mechanical and manual winding timepiece was developed together with Ferrari and is produced in a limited edition of 150 pieces. We are curious if there are even 150 people who are willing to pay more than 1.8 million for the thinnest watch in the world.
