Richard Mille adds to the game on RM 35-03’s recent Rafael Nadal

More than a decade has passed since slam winner Rafa Nadal and artist Richard Mille made their first watch together.

“From the beginning, I like this brand and the people who represent me
that, ”recalls Mr. Nadal. “We all strive for excellence in our areas. Richard has always acted wisely, but has remained humble, calm and approachable.”

For Mr Mille, the feeling is the same. “Rafa and I are inseparable for life. We are together, rain or light. It’s more than making clocks: it’s life,” he says.

The most recent watch from Richard Mille and fellow Spanish tennis god is RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal, who has a new twist in a butterfly rotor, which can be opened and stopped by the person wearing the watch.

Effectively, round rotating titanium and heavy metal rotor split in half. When the two components are connected, the rotor rotates in a regular manner, enhancing the maximum spring RMAL1 caliber as it travels.

Press the pusher and the rotor splits into a butterfly shape, which prevents the weights of the two parts from colliding with each other and has no kinetic power to stop the spring.

This prevents the main spring from being severely injured, especially at a time when respirators are wearing a courtesy suit with Nadal, which is why political neutrality is known as sport.

“Two loads that open to stop the tilt of the ‘motor’ actually bring
sports watch, ”says Salvador Arbona, chief executive of Richard Mille.

There are two types of 43.15mm x 49.95mm RM 35-03, one in white TPT quartz and carbon TPT with a carbon band in carbon TPT, the other in blue quartz with white band.

Both models sell for $ 220,000.
