We all know that watches can come in all sizes and shapes, and some can cost a fortune. Well this is one of them. It is an ultra-thin watch RM UP-01 Ferrari, which is the thinnest watch in the world, and it was made by the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Richard Mille in cooperation with Ferrari.
The watch has a titanium balance wheel of variable inertia, which allowed the thickness to be reduced to only 1.75 mm without losing function and functionality. Mille assembled the entire mechanism, which is only 1.18 mm thick, into the case, unlike the usual process where the back of the case serves as the base plate.
A modern shape and a highly precise mechanism adorn this watch suitable to be worn on all occasions. The time indicator is located in the middle of the upper half, while the function selector is located on the left side. Ferrari’s Prancing Horse is located on the right side of the lower half of the case. Around both crowns are two black ceramic inserts that protect the frame from friction and help with water resistance.
At just 1.75 millimetres thick, the RM UP-01 Ferrari constitutes a triumph of technical prowess, rolling back again the limits by taking up the ultra-flat challenge.https://t.co/WqvuEmpuw7#RMXFerrari #RMUP01 @Ferrari pic.twitter.com/Ncq65mSD6j
