afael Nadal’s victorious ninth Grand Slam title in the final of the US Open, made him the youngest player of the Open Era to win all four Grand Slam tournaments; all this while donning the Richard Mille on his wrist. The RM 027 Tourbillon is the lightest mechanical, extremely shock resistant and comfortable watch ever designed and the first watch to be worn by a player in a Grand Slam. The moving parts are made using innovative materials such as Lital and a carbon-based composite for the casing, resulting in a mechanical tourbillon watch weighing approximately 20 grams, strap included. After Roland Garros and Wimbledon, the US Open has been the yet another victory where Nadal sported his RM 027 on his wrist.
