Sports News] In a recent Champions League match, Real Madrid and Manchester
City played out an exciting 3-3 draw. The game showcased a thrilling display of
attacking football from both teams. However, it was the watch worn by
Manchester City coach, Josep Guardiola, that unexpectedly caught the media’s
attention. Guardiola sported a highly coveted limited edition timepiece, the
Richard Mille 27-01, which pays homage to tennis star Nadal. With only 50
pieces produced worldwide, the watch carries a hefty price tag of 1.3 million
euros. Not only is it a luxury item, but it is also renowned for its
lightweight construction. In fact, Guardiola’s timepiece is the lightest
mechanical watch in the world, weighing less than 19 grams and capable of
withstanding accelerations of over 5000G. Richard Mille, founded in 2001, is a
Swiss high-end watchmaking brand renowned for its tourbillon watches. The brand
spares no expense in creating comfortable, shock-resistant, durable, precise,
and lightweight timepieces, earning them the moniker “Formula One on your
wrist.”
