Davido Buys N724 Million Wrist Watch

Popular singer, Davido, (David Adeleke) has coughed out a whopping N724,000,000 ($2million) on Richard Mille wristwatch.

Davido disclosed this via his Instagram page. He said; “It hurt my account but I had to do it 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😤😤”

For those who don’t know, the Richard Mille watch is special because its complex case design and extraordinarily intricate movement are forged out of pure sapphire and then suspended in air by a system of pulleys.

It is built on the same fundamental design that Nadal’s watch used with the RM 27-01 when the company debuted a technology that suspended the watches’ interior mechanics transparently mid-air, making the whole thing appear weightless. The difference this time is that the base-plate is titanium and the case is sapphire.

Inside, the suspension cable is braided to .35mm thickness (the width of a fishing line) and then controlled by those pulleys posted to four points along the movement and additional posts along the side of the case. A ratchet at 9 o’clock lets you adjust the tension on the cables, while an arrow at 12 o’clock registers how tight the cords are.
