Made from grade 5 titanium, which is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum, to ensure the watch is resistant to bends which could easily damage its functionality, the movement inside—all the moving parts that actually allow it to keep time—was co-developed by Richard Mille and another watchmaker, Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi, and measure in at just 1.18-millimeters thick.
In lieu of a crown on the side for winding and setting the time, the RMUP-01 uses a pair of flat dials on the face that are probably easiest to operate with a tool, and despite the focus on miniaturization, this piece is still waterproof to depths of 10 meters. However, with a production run limited to 150 pieces and a an obscene $1,888,000 price tag, it’s hard to imagine anyone willing to both wear this piece and risk it during a swim or a shower.
