SIHH Rewind: Hands-On With The Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon for Yohan Blake

January 07, 2014

Richard Mille makes some pretty polarizing watches C people love them or hate them. While you can debate the aesthetics of this watch all day, there is no denying just how technically impressive the RM59-01 is. This $620,000, asymmetrical, Beast-Bridged, nano-tube composite cased tourbillon is the production version of the watch seen on Jamaican runner Yohan Blake's wrist when he won the silver medal in the 200m sprint at the 2012 London Olympics. This is one you have to see in person to truly appreciate, but hopefully our live photos help a little for those who can't get their hands on one. Check it all out here.
