Relentless technical innovation, the quest for perfection, and a perpetual hunger for progress are the common factors that link McLaren-Honda and Richard Mille.

Working together, they have produced a new technical masterpiece offering off-the-charts mechanical performance.

The RM 50-03 Tourbillon Split Seconds Chronograph Ultralight McLaren F1 - take a deep breath after that - weighs less than 40 grams – including its strap – making it the lightest mechanical chronograph ever made!

The name is bad enough so we'll spare you the awesome specs of this exclusive masterpiece which shall be limited to 75 units.

We'll just say that it is engineered to Formula 1 standards with high-tech materials such as TPT Carbon,  titanium as well as an ultra-light resin called Graph TPT.

In keeping with the McLaren theme, the 50-03 employs hollow pushers that resemble the sidepods of the McLaren MP4-31.

Richard Mille has yet to announce the pricing for the RM 50-03 but unless you are a healthy member of the 1% wealth club, you'll need to mortgage your house to buy one!
