It comes as no surprise that Richard Mille and Ferrari joined forces in 2021 via a multi-year partnership that includes Formula 1, WEC endurance, GT racing, and e-sport. United in their pursuit of performance, the two manufacturers are engaged in the same quest for excellence in their respective domains, sportscars and contemporary haute horlogerie—two distinct realms with much common ground.
What will go down as the most significant result of this union is last year’s RM UP-01 Ferrari, which established the new standard by which razor-thin watchmaking is measured. Coming in at an astonishing 1.75mm thick, this super slender timepiece is powered by the ultra-flat Calibre RM UP-01, which features hours, minutes, seconds, and a function selector spread across the thin case design. The RM UP-01 Ferrari is, to date, reportedly the thinnest mechanical watch ever made.
Released last July to intense fanfare, all 150 editions of this watch are being delivered in the coming months to Richard Mille boutiques across Asia.
