High-tech materials
The RM 027 Tourbillon has new materials for the watch industry such as LITAL, aluminum alloys, lithium, copper, magnesium and zirconium alloys. There are few standard watch parts in Richard Miller watches, because the concept here defines the components, not the components that define the watch.

Each 1% increase in lithium reduces the density by 3% while increasing the hardness by 5%. The introduction of lithium into aluminum increases the modulus of elasticity, fatigue life (very high fatigue crack growth resistance) and low temperature durability. The third generation space shuttle has a fuel tank made of aluminum lithium.
According to Braden, tennis rackets also borrow from the aerospace industry. “The key factor in achieving ball speed is the stiffness of the racket. Some of NASA's findings have made the material very stiff, but the light gives the player a chance to swing faster with less effort. This immediately changed the game. The way, the reason why players can now attack from the baseline, was almost impossible in the 1950s and 1960s (wood racquets).SEIKO SPORTURA ALARM SNAE07P1 replica watch
Some of these materials are now also available in watches – thanks in large part to the groundbreaking work of Richard Mille over the past decade. The RM 027 Tourbillon once again provides the industry with new materials to change the rules of the game. With two Grand Slam titles and the current number one partner in the world, Mille's tennis start has achieved brilliant results.

Mechanical watches and tennis usually don't go hand in hand - that is, until Richard Mille decides to do something with the RM 027 Tourbillon
At the age of 24, the current world number one Rafael Nadal's knee is a mess. Tendons and other injuries caused by tennis wear led to the body even allowing Nadal to exit the edge of the tennis court for a few months in 2009.
But in early 2010, the Spaniards roared back to the court for victory. Most people don't know, he also tested on the driving range - not on his knees, but on the watch.
Richard Mille's RM 027 Tourbillon is designed to stand on the tennis court and has been dedicated to thousands of hours of research and development. Before Nadal made his debut at the 2010 French Open, Nadal and Richard Miller's technical team tested seven prototypes in court for more than half a year - Nadal wears a unique black timepiece on his right wrist. Won the victory. Just a month later, he won this year's third Grand Slam, Wimbledon, wearing his black luck charm, highlighting Wimbledon's decision to wear all-white sportswear.Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion 525.OX.0180.LR.1904 replica watch
It is very rare for a tennis player to wear a watch on the court - Justin Haining is an exception, because her Rolex is accompanying her in every game; although Roger Federer wears his Rolex in practice, but not during the game. For most players, the watch distracts even when worn on the opposite wrist. This is the weight of the timepiece. If the player has a backhand with both hands or moves the arm very freely, the crown can poke. Nadal agreed to wear his Richard Mille watch during the competition, mainly because the RM 027 Tourbillon has almost no weight compared to the "ordinary" watch: 18 grams with a polycarbonate strap. “It's very ergonomic and comfortable, without any feeling,” Mille explained.
Extreme test
In fact, the real test site for this groundbreaking watch is the conditions for a professional tour: repeated shocks, sweat, extreme temperature changes, and various heights and humidity levels in different parts of the world each week. Like Mille's former star ambassador, Formula One driver Philippe Massa, Nadal has always been an integral part of the research process and provided every step of feedback and information for Mille and his team.

Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi is an integral part of Mille's development and production, and CEO Fabrice Deschanel explained that they wore Nadal sensors on their wrists during exercise to record strength and movement. Deschanel believes that repetition is the biggest deterrent factor, not the actual G force itself. When you accidentally hit your wrist against the table, this has generated an energy wave of about 200G in the watch.buy RICHARD MILLE RM 052 skull replica watches
According to Deschanel, Nadal's service volume is only 800 to 1,000 G; Mille certified watches are up to 800 G. Fortunately, Nadal wears his Richard Mille tourbillon on his right wrist; nevertheless, due to his unfettered style of play, he still suffers from the power of his backhand and the oil he often sees.
Wake Braden, perhaps the most famous tennis teacher in the world - and of course the most scientific of them - explained that it is impossible to accurately measure the exact G-force that the arm is subjected to. “Because of the different human arms, the ligaments and tendons are oscillating in different ways,” he said before explaining what it meant. “When we tested a new racket, some said it was the smoothest racket he had ever used. Another person said it was the worst racket he had ever used... for these two balls Said to be the same racket."
Braden explained that he had performed several bone analyses on Nadal's forehand, but could not get the measurement of G force on his arm. "One thing is for sure," he said. "Nadal's arm in front is far faster than almost all other players. Because he hits the ball with more tops, he doesn't have that much. Batting, but because his arm is too fast, he can still reach a very high speed."luxury watches replica
During the test phase, Nadal broke at least six watches, although Mille quickly pointed out that elements other than the movement did not work immediately. In particular, the holes in the carbon fiber outer casing for the crown tube and the upper chord have some problems at the beginning. Nadal wears watches during competitions, showers and even saunas. This produces condensation under the crystal. Therefore, the APRP team decided to make tubes from titanium to increase strength. Hands, crowns, crystals and other elements also fell from the test watch - but this action was never hurt, and both Mille and Nadal claimed that it remained highly accurate, although it was often punished.
Of course, if the watch is a mechanical watch, then the movement will also be damaged - especially the balance and escapement - also have to be considered. The strength of the collision between the body, the racket and the ball is enormous. Impact - means the exact moment when the ball hits the string - is an event that lasts 4 to 8 milliseconds. After one to two milliseconds, the shock wave generated by the collision reaches the hand, greatly increasing the power. In addition, skilled athletes increase grip before impact, which can increase the force by approximately 70 pounds.
The impact of the ball on the racket surface will produce a large impact force and a small vibration force on the hand. Therefore, the entire movement relies on a series of shock absorbers.
Mille's main reason for doing so much research is that the RM 027 is a tourbillon: despite its strong shock protection, this component is always more susceptible to impact than the rugged ETA main machine, which is the most impact-resistant in the industry.
