Richard Mille
RM011 Felipe Massa Flyback Chronographe $84,000
To optimize Formula 1 performance, Ferrari applies the most precise engineering possible to the most advanced materials available, but what ultimately wins races is seamless integration of car and driver. A similar philosophy guides Richard Mille in the timepieces he designs for the champion racer Felipe Massa. Mille’s watches are built from materials such as carbon nanofiber developed for Air Force jets and Phynox refined for medical instruments. His newest Felipe Massa model, the RM 011, is held together with screws of grade 5 titanium – the strongest in existence – in a case that requires 68 separate stamping and 202 different machining operations. The movement is also partly constructed from titanium, holding the gears in absolute alignment so that the flyback chronograph, an instantly resettable stopwatch, will always time laps flawlessly on the race track.

I wanted one (RM005 RG) SOOOO bad, but did not get around selling my watches in time to purchase the one I found. Once I sold my watches, then none were found. I'd love a 005 or 010 in RG. The others, well, just can't bring myself to spend that much.
