Unless You Are Into The World Of Watches,

you may not know that there is a fierce rivalry between manufacturers,

to create the worlds thinnest mechanical watch,

and so far the winner is the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari it is the new world’s record thinnest mechanical wristwatch, at just 1.75 millimeters thick,

crafted from grade 5 titanium and featuring an ultra-thin mechanism, the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari pushes the boundaries of mechanical timekeeping farther than ever before. Designed in collaboration with watchmakers  Audemars Piguet and Renaud & Papi, the internal mechanism that makes this watch tick measures just 1.18 millimeters thick,

despite its negligible thickness, the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari is waterproof to a depth of 10 meters and can reportedly withstand accelerations of more than 5,000 G’s,

the time is displayed by a very small register in the center of the top half of the watch, with the circle next to it offering a view of the balance. The two smaller circles on the left side of the watch are used for accessing the movement,

Richard Mille claims that over 6,000 man-hours went into developing the new world’s thinnest mechanical wristwatch, which included creating a titanium balance wheel and a unique escapement and safety roller to transfer energy to the balance wheel, this means that the extremely slender timepiece can cope with shocks and vibrations, but here is the thing, if you want one you had better be quick, only 150 of these timepieces will be made, so out with the cheque book and start writing $1,888,000, yes you read that correctly, nearly 2 million dollars each!
