Why Are Richard Mille Watches So Expensive
著者: 木村 陽翔
Richard Mille didn’t want to make pretty jewelry. He wanted to make a “racing machine” you could wear. Seriously. He partnered with Formula 1 engineers to design the guts.
These watches use materials from rocket ships and race cars. We’re talking carbon nanofiber, titanium, and Lital® (a fancy aluminum-lithium alloy). Your car’s piston is jealous.
Each movement is skeletonized. You can see every gear, spring, and screw doing its job. It’s like peeking under the hood of a hypercar—while it’s running.
The Secret Ingredient? G-Force.
Most watches break if you swing them too hard. A Richard Mille can survive 5,000 Gs of acceleration. That’s like being shot out of a cannon… and landing on another cannon.
Tennis star Rafael Nadal wears his during matches. He smashes forehands at 100 mph. The watch doesn’t even flinch. It’s built to survive a tennis tantrum.
That’s not just engineering. That’s overkill—the fun kind.
