“Extremely Rare! Huang Jen-hsun’s $10 Million Richard Mille Watch Limited to 80 Pieces Sparks Debate: ‘Flexing or Equivalent to Buying a Casio?'”
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s discreet Taiwan visit for semiconductor strategy talks with TSMC leaders sparked attention after the RM 27-05 Rafael Nadal flying tourbillon watch he wore became public. The carbon-composite timepiece, valued at about $929,000, features aerospace-grade shock resistance (14,000g) and ultra-light 11.5g construction as part of a limited 80-piece series developed with the tennis legend. Analysts noted parallels between RICHARD MILLE’s engineering excellence and NVIDIA’s chip design philosophy, while social media debates highlighted differing perspectives on technical aesthetics versus ostentation, citing industry data showing 56% of ultra-high-net-worth individuals favor tourbillon timepieces. The incident underlines Huang’s calculated approach to narrative control amid the 3nm chip race.
