A miraculous encounter with an ultra-rare CPO watch only possible with the NX ONE

NX ONE is a premium watch select shop that sells rare CPO (certified pre-owned) watches and is well known among watch enthusiasts. Among the many premium brands, Richard Mille is known to be particularly difficult to obtain new, but with NX ONE, there is a chance that you can come across this brand's ultra-rare models that even enthusiasts will be impressed with.

Encounter with a Legendary Piece

　For many years, the need for certified pre-owned watches has been advocated in order to protect the brand and the market, and Richard Mille was the first brand to fully launch a CPO watch service. Japan, understanding the brand's intentions, was the first country in the world to carry Richard Mille CPO watches, and in 2012 opened NX ONE Ginza in Tokyo's Ginza district.

Calling itself a "premium watch select shop," the store handles truly premium, rare watches, including Richard Mille CPOs. NX ONE protects the intrinsic value of the brand and the watches by setting fair prices, and also conveys the appeal of owning a CPO watch by creating a support environment that allows owners of rare models to sell or acquire their next desired watch.

　Richard Mille watches, produced in small numbers and highly rare, rarely appear on the secondary market. Early-numbered models are especially difficult to obtain. The RM 017, released in 11, is one such example. Not only is it one of Richard Mille's few rectangular watches, but it was also the brand's first to feature an ultra-thin manual-wound tourbillon movement, measuring just 4.65mm thick, making it a historic piece for the brand. The 18 RM 17-01 and 22 RM 17-02, which housed this tourbillon movement in a familiar tonneau-shaped case and featured improved exterior materials, are also rare models, just like the RM 017. The NX ONE offers the potential to find one of these watches.

　Of course, since these are pre-owned items, the timing of their arrival is uncertain, and even if they do arrive, they may already be purchased the next day. On the other hand, depending on the timing, you may have the opportunity to compare the RM 017 introduced here with the three new interpretations of it all at once. In other words, it is precisely because of these "once-in-a-lifetime" experiences that one of the joys of CPO watches is frequenting stores and patiently waiting for the model you're looking for. Also, because various models of the NX ONE are stocked irregularly, even if the watch you want isn't available, there's a chance you might find one that appeals to you even more, which is another major attraction.

　Moreover, CPO watches are literally certified pre-owned watches, with the brand recognizing them as genuine and guaranteeing their quality. Therefore, unlike ordinary pre-owned watches, they are adjusted, inspected for quality, and refinished by the company's headquarters or an authorized watchmaker before being resold, ensuring their reliability. In addition, when you purchase a CPO watch from the NX ONE, you will receive a certified pre-owned watch warranty issued by Richard Mille and will also receive after-sales service from the brand for two years from the date of purchase, giving you absolute peace of mind. Another unique feature of the NX ONE is the wide variety of genuine straps available.

　Not only can you get a reliable and trustworthy CPO watch, but the NX ONE also allows you to enjoy frequent visits to the store, enjoy communication with the staff, and encounter rare models that you would rarely come across.
