Indeed - congrats to Nadal on near perfect play. He will
be hard to beat in the coming months providing he stays free of injury. The watch: looks simple, but there is so much work in the background. Who would have thought you needed to train watchmakers on the elasticity of tensile steel when the cable is 0.35mm in diameter! And to withstand 5000G. But then, that's Richard!

Nadal and the RM027: ‘dash 1’!
It is worth considering for a moment: the effect Richard has on his sports ambassadors. So I know that most of this is conjecture, but hear me out for a minute or two…. When Richard first announced that he had made a watch for Rafael Nadal, the promising ...
Congrats!

Wow that's awesome. A watch where the movement is supported by steel cables?
Now that is innovation and out of the box thinking. I like! - AT
Admittedly, when I first the watch, there was the
dismissive element in me that looked at it and said: "oh, that one is just a little bit smaller and lighter - not that great!" But then I was told about the suspension and the steel cables: specially made to Richard's spec. This is cool tech engineering i...
RM027-1 is the 1st Richard Mille watch that makes sense to me
The concept, celebrity relevance and execution of the Richard Mille RM027-1 all make sense for the first time for me. I "get" it at last! Regards, MTF
Good to have you on board MTF! :) Admittedly the stars
alligned on this one, although Richard has been trying to get the steel cables to work in a production watch for about 8 years!!! A lot of long run research in all of this. Andrew H
God knows
what would happen to me if Mr. Mille decides to sponsor me with one of his piece as non sport ambassador Maybe I can win Nobel prize so we can prove his magick touch :) Seriously this is great story and excellent watch I was always fan of this great micro...
