A boutique watchmaker sets a new standard with the world’s thinnest mechanical watch. Find out why this weird-looking timepiece costs $1.8 million.
It’s oddly shaped, doesn’t look like a watch, and costs more than many actual Ferraris. The new partnership between Swiss luxury watch company Richard Mille and Ferrari has resulted in a mechanical watch they’re calling the world’s thinnest.
At just 1.75 mm in thickness, the RM UP-01 Ferrari beats out Bulgari, which released a 1.80mm watch earlier this year called the Finissimo Ultra.
The RM UP-01 is also capable of withstanding acceleration over 5,000 Gs, according to the hype. It weighs just 2.82 g and has a power reserve of 45 hours.
