Rafael Nadal collaborates with Richard Mille

Rafael Nadal recently signed a sponsorcontract with haute horlogerie brand Richard Mille. Nadal worked closely with Richard Mille to develop a tourbillon watch that would be light enough to wear while he is playing tennis. This is a unique piece because it is a ultra light tourbillon. Nadal tested the watch while he was sporting, so it is resistant against extreme shock conditions. As with Felipe Massa who drives every F1 Grand Prix with his watch, Rafael Nadal will play all of his matches wearing his Richard Mille on his wrist. So when Federer is going to wear his sponsored watches (Ambassador of Rolex) while he is playing tennis it is also going to be a battle of the watches, Richard Mille vs. Rolex.


The price of the watch on the picture is $525,000 and is limited to 50 pieces worldwide.
