Richard Mille RM027


Richard Mille created this watch for pro tennis player Rafael Nadal. This complex tourbillon mechanical watch weighs just 20 grams including the strap, its complex movement weights just 3.83 grams.

This was accomplished by using carbon fiber for the case and titanium and aluminum lithium for the rest. This watch will be worn on the court which will prove how durable it is since most tourbillon watches are usually on the fragile side.

Only 50 will be made with a retail price of $525,000.

Omega Central Tourbillon Co-Axial Platinum Watch


Omega brings some of the highest complications to surface with their Central Tourbillon Co-Axial Platinum limited edition offering. 18 units of the tourbillon watch are bring made. What makes this watch special is the central placement of the tourbillon itself. “The movement has a luxurious sun-brushed pearlescent finish; its bridges and mechanisms are hand polished. The rotor with its sapphire plate has been newly designed … and the watch’s individual serial number (out of 18). The Skeletonized Tourbillon Co-Axial Platinum Limited Edition is equipped with a Breguet balance spring.” This is very serious business.
