Hands-on: The Thinnest Watch in the World
Ойын-сауық
Wei got his hands on the USD 1.88 million, 150-piece limited edition Richard Mille UP-01 Ferrari. Wei shares how the brand had to rethink mechanical watchmaking techniques and components, in order to break the record for world's thinnest watch.
This ultra-thin timepiece might be 1.75mm thin, but it can withstand accelerations of over 5,000 g’s and packs 45 hours of power reserve.
It features a baseplate and bridges crafted of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, rigid and corrosion-resistant alloy, and is the result of numerous prototypes and more than 6,000 hours of development and laboratory testing.

I appreciate the technical effort but this is the ugliest watch I have seen in my entire life! I really like both the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra and the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate! 😍

it can withstand accelerations of over 5,000 g’s, but can it withstand a soaped handwash?
Hi Wei, I love your content, but you got to up your game on video/audio quality. The sound is muffled, video is jittery. And it`s 2022, 4k can be had on any flagship phone. I am sure your viewership will do a lot better if you solve these issue. Keep up the good work you already have here with the content, just clear those basic technical hurdles.

No shit. I got a headache from trying to concentrate so hard on trying to see the watch up close
I appreciate the technical effort. Somehow it just not pleasing to the eyes especially on the wrist just look like a flat piece of metal that is extremely thin. I’m still much more drawn towards the octo finissimo looks and design that Bvlgari had.
Love your informed enthusiasm for watchmaking ❤️🙏👏
I would have loved to see it being set and wound. Great vid! ❤

It might break
A Velcro strap on a watch worth more than a decent house makes me giggle
This is a super interesting video but it would really be better for you to do still shots when you’re showing the watch. Anytime you tried to show the Watch or the camera zoomed in you were shaking and the person using the camera was shaking and you couldn’t really see anything.
So the Skeletonized movement bridges act like the equivalent of a super rigid honeycomb inside the watch case here?
It is an AMAZING innovation BUT I still PREFER the DESIGN of the BVLGARI!!!
Crazy price and crazy appearance
Love the watch... idk about the casio strap though
5,000 g's? I'd like to see that put to the test.
So crazy, nice to see in the flesh
Mr koh, great channel and video. What happen to your index finger,damaged one? Ouch. Are you OK?
Well what i do see is the watch stoping and starting as you move it, and a clearer picture would have been nice.
Crazy watch
Is it really that hard to say the word millimetres!!! This mm thing really grinds my gears !!!

It's not
Great Video, Thanks. One question: Can I use this watch also as a credit card ?
Wei. Please. I can be your traveling videographer and SUBSTANTIALLY improve the quality of your video series. HUGE fan of your interviews. Your energy is infectious.
RM is not my thing, but I do appreciate the video, the information and the enthusiasm. Don't read on if you don't want constructive criticism beyond that..... That all said: Please get a manicure. Or better yet, just put the watch on a tray with a tripod mounted camera. It's constantly popping in and out of focus, and the bad nail is just unseemly on a 27" screen. Not something I enjoy looking at.
but will it bend ?
Looks like a prototype. Where’s the design crew? Ferrari. No red?
Camera was not focusing on watch
Amazing engineering but it looks like a credit card on a strap. Crazy price tag but I bet they sell them all 🤔
Hard pass. Looks like a credit card. Where Is the soul? Much prefer the Bulgari OF.
The Ferrari watch reminds me of those route guides that NFL quarterbacks have on their arms hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣 RM isGods way of telling you that you have too much money.
Really, all the credit should go to Renaud et Papi and not RM. They didn’t do anything here except a 900% markup
the watch dial is a bit disappointing.. feels a bit too small for the price plus engineering put into it. Looks like one of the added compass on the side of flashlights/knives... just saying.
He may have beaten the record and I like your explanation but Bulgari's Ultra, slightly thicker watch is designer quality with a functional dial and accessibility to Winding the movement.
My AMEX Black card is thinner than that RM watch. As they say you can't be too rich or too thin.
Give me the Octo Finissimo over this anytime……
Over a million dollars for that wow it doesn't look very nice to me
Totally worth the money
why would anyone pay 1.6$ million dollars for a watch that has a plastic strap & doesn’t even have diamonds in it?

It's a watch that has a waiting list, so someone did but i'm sure it's not you.

Engineering innovation 10/10 >>>>>> Design styling 0/10. I'd that the Bvlgari Octo Finnisimo all day.
An indication of market overpriced... 1.88M CHF for a piece of metal.
OCTO COLLECTION is just class apart.
This is my first "hateful" comment on YT... But I must say, if this "watch" as expectedly sells out in a flash, it proves to me (once again) that there most likely is at least 150 individuals around the world with $1.88 mil USD too much in their bank account that they have no sensible use for and thinks they have great taste in watches... smh very hard...

Its all fakery. In the hands of hoarders, flippers and so forth. Not genuine buyers.
Disastrous video quality. Difficult to watch.

In their single mindedness to make it the thinnest they have made a watch that is uninteresting to look at. Shame as Richard Mile watches are essentially eye candy.
I think this is a perfect Richard M watch. Cool to look at but neither good looking nor suitable to tell time. Next!
Thinnest non-windable timepiece. Let's be clear about this fact. Let's see the key and how you set and wind it.
People going on about not liking the design have completely missed the point
Amazing engineering feat, but ugly...
I prefer the Bulgari.
Just put the watch on a stand and talk may be .. it moves too much in n out of focus
RM are one of the leaders in innovation in horology, definitely a great work of engineering.

Sorry, Bulgari Octo Finissimo is way better than this ugly credit card watch that needs a tool to wind. Not to mention RM has such a bad reputation now it’s almost worse than Hublot.
The only watch uglier, that I can think of, is MAD by mb&f- super cool but super ugly

Bvlgari is much better than this
nice video and it is a cool watch... BUT it is too thin, all these "thin" watches are too thin. They lose integral strength and look too thin. There's a point where sheep follow sheep. It is was just a little thicker it could be automatic or even a Chronograph, it would look so much better... IT IS TOO THIN with a damned velcro strap.
RM is the greatest watchmaker in the world period.

So you have the thinnest watch but you have to go around with a screwdriver to wind it? 🤦♂️ They should add the size of the screwdriver then!
