www.worldwatcheweb.com- Sunday the 6th of June 2010, the king Rafael Nadal was back on his throne in Roland Garros thanks to winning his fifth French Open title against the Swede Robin Soderling. At the end of the fortnight, having won seven matches, the Spanish player did not concede a single set against his opponents.

An unquestionable victory which confirms the achievement of another substantial challenge: the success of the RM 027 tourbillon, a watch designed by Richard Mille for Rafael Nadal, worn by the Majorcan during his matches on Roland Garros’ clay courts, a world premiere which never failed.

After this ultimate test, the RM 027 is ready to escort the world number 1 in all of his biggest international tournaments. This is a great reward for the watchmakers of Richard Mille, who, once again, pushed away the limits of innovation and who multiplied tests so that the watch and its manual winding tourbillon movement could resist without failing against Rafael Nadal’s tough playing style.

Richard Mille created for him the lightest mechanical watch in the world: hardly 18 grams, strap included.
