In today’s technology, smart devices come to everyone’s mind when it comes to watches. These are devices that can track fitness, perform searches, measure your sleep, heart rate, and even blood oxygen levels. But mechanical watchmaking is still quite popular. Moreover, some of them are true works of art. Today, one of them, the world’s thinnest watch, went on sale.
The world’s thinnest watch is selling more expensive than Ferrari!
The world’s thinnest watch, the RM UP-01, produced by the Richard Mille brand, is 1.75 mm thick. Its predecessor, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra, which had this record, was 1.88 mm thick. So both are much thinner than a 25-cent coin.
The gear mechanism inside the watch is said to have been jointly developed by Richard Mille and another master, Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi. The thinness of this mechanism is exactly 1.18 mm. In other words, both the clock and its mechanism managed to enter the record books.
These products are not devices made for normal everyday use. As we mentioned, these watches are viewed as works of art. Therefore, their prices are determined not according to their function, but according to their artistic value. But let’s say it’s pretty salty.
Because the watch, which is the new owner of the record named RM UP-01 produced by Richard Mille, was offered for sale with a price tag of 1 million 888 thousand dollars. It is possible to buy Ferrari and McLaren sports cars for this price. When we convert it to Turkish Lira, it is 32 million 511 thousand 360 TL with today’s exchange rate. So it’s a pretty expensive piece of art.
Of course, as we mentioned, the person who buys the watch can wear it on his arm if he wishes. But on the functionality side, it will be no different from its 10 dollar competitors. But since it’s thin, she won’t have to worry about it being damaged. Because the product is made of 5th class titanium, it is not easily damaged.
