"Tourbillon Rafael Nadal"
"RM27-02"

The first person we would like to introduce is the founder of the fashion online shopping site "ZOZOTOWN" " Yusaku Maezawa "

Maezawa is always in the news, but he is also one of the richest people in Japan, and is widely known as a watch lover. He is also the first Japanese private citizen to travel in space.

"Tourbillon Rafael Nadal"
"RM27-02"

The RM27 is the world's lightest tourbillon wristwatch, made for top tennis player Rafael Nadal, and is shock-resistant and lightweight enough to be worn while playing tennis. This is the third model in the Nadal series, released in 2010, 2013, and 2015, and is a limited edition of 50 pieces. The ultra-lightweight movement weighs just 3.35g and is housed in a case that integrates the middle case and the base plate, and can withstand a shock of 500G.

If it hadn't been confiscated by Russian customs, it might have been the 2017 model "RM27-03" (capable of withstanding impacts of up to 10,000G), but Maezawa, who owns all of the Nadal series, apparently also carried the "RM27-02" in case of an unexpected incident. His choice of watch, designed to withstand the large G forces exerted during spacecraft launch and return to Earth (a load of around 5G during spaceflight), as well as the harsh environments of space during his stay, is truly impressive!

The second person is Yusaku Miyazato, a professional golfer sponsored by Richard Mille.

Having won numerous titles since his junior days, including three consecutive victories at the Japan Student Golf Championship, he made his professional debut in 2003. However, after turning professional, he struggled to win a championship until finally, in his 11th year in 2013, he won his first title at the Golf Japan Series JT Cup, and the following year he won his second title, achieving consecutive domestic victories. In 2016, he was appointed Chairman of the Japan Golf Tour Players Association, and the following year in 2017, he achieved his long-cherished dream of becoming the top prize winner. He is still active at the top of the tournament.

"Rafael Nadal Collection"
"RM35-02"

This model, which is the first to feature an automatic caliber and features a beautiful contrast between bright red and white, has been changed to a see-through case back due to a minor change to an automatic winding model. The case, which is made of stacked quartz fiber layers made of the new material Quartz TPT, has passed impact tests of over 5000G. The movement is made of titanium and is equipped with a "variable moment of inertia rotor" that adjusts the winding efficiency for stable operation.

On Miyazato's Instagram, you can see several Richard Mille models that he owns. Among them, the photo of him and professional racer Matsushita is particularly impactful! Both of them look great in Richard Mille.
