What could we buy if we had more than one million euros to spend on what we would like?The McLaren Speedster that Fernando Alonso recently acquired, a private island located in Sweden called Gåsharskäret, a mansion in any corner of the planet or making the trip of our dreams all over the world for several months are just some of the options.But there are more, like the watches of the Richard Mille brand.

Pep Guardiola is one of the lucky few who has one of the exclusive units of the Richard Mille ‘RM 27-01 Rafael Nadal’ clock.He wore him during a press appearance with Manchester City and has transpired that his price is 1.5 million euros.But in what materials are these Swiss watches manufactured and why are they so expensive?

Nadal is Richard Mille's ambassador since 2010 and the brand has already manufactured several watches so that I can wear them during the games without having any discomfort.RM 27-01 is from 2013 and went on sale for 800 euros, but there are only 50 units, which has caused its price to rise up to 1.5 million euros.At that time it was the lightest mechanical clock in the world, with only 18.83 grams of weight, including the belt.Richard Mille's engineers were inspired by civil engineering infrastructures and adapted them to build the sphere.It has a titanium motherboard linked to the box using four small steel cables, which gives it resistance and flexibility, the ‘Tourbillon’ mechanism and an aluminum and lithium alloy for gears.

The latest model designed by the brand for the tennis player to date dates from 2017 and is also limited to 50 units.As for the design, it shows the colors of the flag of Spain and upper skeleton simulates the head of a bull that looks forward.With this clock, the Manacorí has won Roland Garros and the US Open in 2019.It is as light as the predecessors, 13 grams, but also the engineers worked on strengthening the ability to resist blows.This watch holds blows up to 10000g, for which it has exceeded numerous "pendulum impact tests" that simulate the linear acceleration that occurs due to sudden movements or blows.It is made in titanium 5, (90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium), a combination that increases the mechanical properties of the material, and is used in the aerospace, aeronautical and automotive industries.In addition, the motherboard is carbon TPT®, multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by separating carbon threads.The bezel and bottom of the box are directly assembled on the motherboard, which is described as ‘unibody’, a type of construction that is used in racing cars, which guarantees maximum stiffness and greater resistance.

Kimi Räikkönen, Formula 1 pilot who is currently part of the Alfa Romo Racing team, has joined the Richard Mille brand in 2019 and has its own watch from the Singapore GP.It is RM 50-04 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Kimi Räikkönen, an edition limited to 30 copies.The box is creamy white with the titanium spheres in red, colors that combine with the C38 car.It also includes its number, 7.It is manufactured in titanium and TPT carbon of grade 5, a material used by Formula 1 engineering for cars.It has a capacity to resist blows to 5000G and its greatest novelty is that engineers have managed to reduce chronograph energy consumption by half.

RM 07-01 Yuliya Levchenko140.000 euros

The young Ukrainian athlete competes with this watch model, which has the smallest box in the entire brand and whose bracelet weighs 29 grams.Its central sphere is formed by a total of 25 precious stones, including diamonds set with jasper, ONYX, mother, jade, carbon TPT® or complete diamonds.There are three versions of this model: gold, ceramics and carbon TPT®, the most suitable for competition, since it is a very light and robust material at the same time.

Considered as one of the best rally pilots in history, he won nine consecutive World Cups, the French looks like the RM 36-01 model, designed for extreme driving competitions.There are only 30 units of this clock in the world and its motherboard and the bridges are made of degree of grade 5, which is frequently used in aerospace, aeronautical and automotive industries.It is composed of 37 jewels, more than 50 pieces, measures only 17mm and thanks to the rotating sensor allows drivers to see the lateral deceleration and longitudinal forces they experience in the curves, in addition to the acceleration and braking in the lines: it reachesmeasure forces up to 6g.It has a button that works similar to the gearbox of a car and allows you to select different functions of the device.

RM 38-01 Bubba Watson

The golfer Bubba Watson, with two majors in his record, competes with the RM 38-01 model of the Richard Mille brand, limited to 50 units.The brand defines it as "a technological wonder" with "highly skeletonized asymmetric flying bridges and a mechanized grade titanium set 5" to guarantee stiffness, resistance and comfort when hitting the golf ball, in addition to 21 jewels.A clock that combines a g -forces sensor with Tourbillon mechanism.The sensor, placed under number 12, can record the force generated by the golfer swing.In addition, it can be submerged in the water up to 50 meters and has a security system to prevent it from getting released during the blows.
