RICHARD MILLE RM UP-01 FERRARI
Known for their futuristic timepieces that challenge the traditional watchmaking codes, independent watchmaker Richard Mille developed the world's thinnest mechanical watch this year. While those who are familiar with the brand were in for a bit of a surprise since the design strays from the usual timepieces that they have been churning out over the years.
However, the technical aspect of innovation and precision remains intact. Last year, the brand partnered with Ferrari and to celebrate this milestone, they launched the ultra-flat RM UP-01 Ferrari in July, this year. At just 1.75mm thick, the watch exemplifies a new approach to precision engineering, which trumps over aesthetic. The watchmakers at Richard Mille have retained a traditional architecture in which the movement is assembled within the case, rather than a construction where the caseback doubles as a baseplate, in order to ensure complete shock resistance under any given situation. The timepiece also alludes to Ferrari's sporty DNA and is crafted in titanium to ensure ultra-lightness coupled with slimness.
Even the baseplate and skeletonised bridges are crafted in titanium for perfect flatness without compromising on durability. The patented extra-flat barrel is fitted with a fine hairspring and the architecture of the escapement is entirely redesigned.
