Richard Mille RM 27-01: The Suspended Tourbillon
Released in 2013, the Richard Mille RM 27-01 marked a bold leap in horological innovation. Designed for Rafael Nadal, it introduced a suspended movement architecture unlike anything seen before — allowing the calibre to “float” inside the case, isolated from shocks and vibrations.
The hand-wound Calibre RM27-01 weighs only 3.5 grams, crafted from titanium and LITAL® alloy. It is suspended by four braided steel cables measuring just 0.35 mm in diameter, held by 10 pulleys, and tensioned by four titanium turnbuckles.
This unique suspension system allows the movement to withstand shocks exceeding 5,000 g’s, ensuring flawless performance even under intense match conditions.
The case is made from carbon nanotube composite, a material 200 times stronger than steel yet incredibly light. The tonneau-shaped case measures 45.98 mm x 38.9 mm x 10.05 mm, contributing to the watch’s extraordinary lightness and ergonomic comfort.
Despite its featherweight form, the RM 27-01 maintains a 45-hour power reserve and uncompromising precision.
Every detail from the skeletal dial to the red Rafael Nadal signature on the strap reflects the fusion of sport, science, and art that defines Richard Mille’s partnership with the tennis legend.
Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, the RM 27-01 remains one of the most advanced and collectible tourbillons ever produced.
