Thank you for joining us on watch your style.
My name is Eric.
Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Richard Mille 59-01, also known as the Yohan
Blake edition.
So, first let's talk about who the watch was made for.
The watch was made for one of the best 100-meter and 200-meter sprinters in the world, Yohan
Blake, also know as "The Beast."
And if you don't know by the color of the case and watch, he's Jamaican.
That's pretty obvious.
A funny story is that in 2012 during the Olympic games, he wore a prototype at the time.
It was a white-case tourbillon and at the starting line, the camera focused on his wrist
and it showed the watch on national television.
Now, that was a controversy because the Olympic games are sponsored by Omega.
So it kind of caused a bit of a controversy and stuff like that.
They wanted to penalize him and all this stuff, but the most important part was that millions
of people searched online, "yohan blake watch" that night and that kind of help put Richard
Mille more on the map.
And fast-forward years later, we have now the RM59-01.
Now, this watch features a lot of interesting stuff.
First of all, it's got a super lightweight composite.
I'm not 100% sure why it's clear green.
I don't know why, but that's just what they made.
I guess it goes well with the theme.
It's a manual wound tourbillon.
It's designed for a left-handed sprinter.
And one of the things if you notice are the four lines look like a claw.
They call him �The Beast� and they say that when he runs he has his hands opened.
It looks like a claw.
I don't know.
Somewhere along the line that these designers came up with that.
I just like it overall just because I like the finish of the green anodizing with the
yellow inserts.
That's really what caught my attention.
I mean, I didn't really care too much for that elaborate explanation.
Watch retails for $620,000, so yes, this is definitely not for the first time collector,
unless you wanna really start off your collection with a huge bang.
This watch is limited to 50 pieces and let me tell you something.
I'm pretty sure you're not going to see one of these out there, unless you're partying
next to Swiss Beatz for example.
He's probably one of the few that's going to have one like this.
Very particular watch.
Nothing sits more sportier than a Yohan Blake Richard Mille.
I like it.
Believe it or not, I saw it a lot of times in pictures and stuff like that and having
it in person in my hands is actually a really nice watch.
Like any RM, it�s incredibly comfortable.
I can't stress it.
If you ever have a chance or you've never have tried one before.
If you're ever by the boutique, try one and you'll see how comfortable they are.
This is a type of watch that if you're trying to pick it up, there's not going to be a lot
of discount.
Good luck on getting one pre-owned.
This is really a collector piece, so it�s just a matter of who has one, how much you're
willing to pay, and how much they want to charge for it.
So, there's much to talk more about that.
As far as the Watch Game goes, I mean �Jesus Christ,� it's an RM Tourbillon.
I mean, what else do you have to say.
There's not much to say.
You don't have to be a silver medalist in 2012 to feel like a Beast with one of these
on.
I mean, you got this watch and it's pretty much looks like it's made of Play-Doh and
you're shutting it down.
This is a serious, serious watch for a serious collector.
It's something interesting just when you want something a little bit different.
