Technological Innovations in the Watch World

The RM 027 Tourbillon - 20 grams.

Technology is constantly improving. When it comes to wristwatches, some of the latest developments are occurring within the watch’s engineering.

A relatively new watchmaker, Richard Mille of his eponymous company, has developed in conjunction with Rafael Nadal a watch that weighs less than one ounce. Priced at $525,000, the RM 027 Tourbillon will be worn by the tennis star when he plays his matches. 50 watches will be available worldwide.

Meanwhile, Patek Phillipe is experimenting with silicon. This metal will allow for mechanization of parts so precise that it will not require oiling. These mechanisms will be much more moderately priced, hovering in the $30,000 range, and will be available at Tiffany’s.

If you’re looking for a beautiful technologically innovative watch in a reasonable price range, the Concord Mariner watch fits the bill. These watches are more traditional in their style, meaning that they have the gold and silver that the RM 027 lacks. The Concord Mariner watch may differ in its design and weight, but to the unassuming eye, they are no more stunning than the above featured watches. The Concord Mariner watch and the Concord Ladies watch are beautiful options if you want a watch that bespeaks elegance and class.
