Richard Mille and Ferrari's RM UP-01 is the world's thinnest watch
The RM UP-01 Ferrari high quality watches replica features a sideways tonneau shape, titanium and dashboard-style dial, and is incredibly slim at just 1.75mm thick.
When Bulgari announced last March that it had broken the world record for the thinnest mechanical watch (beating Piaget and its Altiplano Ultimate Concept watch), it was hard to imagine anything that could surpass the 1.8mm thickness of the Octo Finissimo Ultra. Not to mention just three months later.
However, Richard Mille has done just that with the help of its newest partner, Ferrari. The first watch to launch from this collaboration is the RM UP-01 Ferrari, which is incredibly slim at just 1.75 mm thick. Its sideways tonneau shape, titanium build, and dashboard-like surface set it apart from its ultra-thin counterparts in that it looks less like a watch than others. The time is displayed in a central subdial in the upper half of the dial, while a view of the scales is displayed to its right. Both are protected by sapphire crystal. replica Richard Mille RM50-03 McLaren
The dial on the left is the “crown,” reimagined as a rotating disc that sits flush with the dial. The upper one is the function selector and the lower one winds the watch and sets the time, both surrounded by black ceramic inserts to protect them from friction.
Ferrari's involvement in this time machine is evident only by the tiny Prancing Horse logo in the lower right corner. Coming from two brands known for flashy performance, the RM UP-01 is surprisingly plain, and it doesn't try to be anything more than the engineering marvel it is.
Its creation took six thousand hours of research and development. The RM UP-01 movement was developed with the help of Audemars Piguet Le Locle (formerly Renaud et Papi), a company with which Richard Mille had previously collaborated on more complex watches such as the RM 001 and RM 004. replica Grand Seiko Watches
It runs at 4 Hz, features a patented extra-flat escapement, titanium baseplate, skeletonized bridges and a 45-hour power reserve. The hand-wound movement weighs just 2.82 grams but has been extensively tested to withstand accelerations of over 5,000G.
Richard Mille watches are designed to be worn and enjoyed in the most extreme conditions, so even this ultra-thin gadget is safe to use at depths up to 10 m, thanks to the aforementioned crown surround of ceramic inserts and 13 titanium screws watch together.
While the Piaget Altiplano Concept and Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra are more easily identifiable as replica luxury watches, the RM UP-01 has a more traditional construction, with an actual case (albeit a monolithic one) to house the movement.
As a solution, Piaget and Bulgari made the watch's caseback part of the movement. Richard Mille just made a leaner product. The RM UP-01 is limited to just 150 pieces, and while it’s a small number, this incredible move heralds the debut of a multi-year partnership between the watchmaker and brand and can only mean more horological marvels to come. .
Meanwhile, Richard Mille has pledged its support to the Ferrari Driver Academy, which develops and promotes young racing talent. The watch brand will also actively support the Ferrari Challenge Series – a single-make championship held on three continents that brings together enthusiasts who want to drive supercars on the track.
Additionally, as Ferrari combines cutting-edge technology with passion and artistry, fans can expect to see specific collections of watches created in collaboration with the Ferrari design team. Things are only going to get more interesting from now on, so buckle up.
