Richard Mille created the RM 27 series specifically for Rafael Nadal, the "King of Clay." A watch designed for competitive tennis must withstand the repeated shock of serves over hours of play on clay courts and endure accelerations exceeding 100g, all while remaining comfortable to wear and lightweight enough not to interfere with the athlete's swing. The RM 027 tourbillon was born to meet these rigorous demands. Building upon the four preceding generations (RM 27, 27-01, 27-02, and 27-03), the RM 27-04 manual-winding tourbillon achieves a new breakthrough, most notably through its cable-suspended movement mechanism. Inspired by the weaving of tennis racket strings, the movement is supported entirely by a micro-blasted mesh with a surface area of just 855 square millimeters; this mesh is formed from a single braided steel cable measuring only 0.27 mm in diameter—a construction unprecedented in watchmaking.
This design, which suspends the movement within the center of the case, allows the RM 27-04 to withstand accelerations exceeding 12,000g, setting a new record for durability within the brand. Another innovation of the RM 27-04 is the use of TitaCarb®, a proprietary material reinforced with carbon fiber that offers exceptional tensile strength. True to the RM 27 series' hallmark lightness, the entire watch—strap included—weighs a mere 30 grams. It features water resistance to 50 meters and a 38-hour power reserve. The word "RAFA"—the affectionate nickname for the "King of Clay," Rafael Nadal—is visible on the side of the case. Welcome to WatchesNearme, your can buy luxury replica watches for men and women.
