Throwback to the celebration of basketball legend Michael Jordan’s 60th birthday party last year, where the atmosphere was electrifying, and the energy reached new heights when J Balvin took the stage. While the reggaeton superstar’s performance had everyone on their feet, there was something else that caught the attention of watch enthusiasts: the Richard Mille RM 52-06 ‘Tourbillon Mask Green Emerald’ on his wrist. This incredible timepiece is a *Piece Unique*—meaning only one of its kind—created by renowned customizer Avi & Co’s Avi Hiaeve, adding even more exclusivity to the already illustrious RM collection.

The RM 52-06 ‘Tourbillon Mask’ is not just a watch; it’s a marvel of artistic and technical brilliance. Its sapphire case is as transparent as the spotlight on J Balvin, and the watch’s centerpiece—the titanium mask—is set against a dial adorned with baguette-cut emeralds. This vivid green not only makes the timepiece pop but also reflects a fresh, bold attitude, perfectly aligning with Balvin’s vibrant personality and high-energy performances.

Beneath its aesthetic brilliance, the Richard Mille RM 52-06 is a technical masterpiece. The titanium mask in the center isn’t just a decorative feature—it’s part of the tourbillon movement, a highly sophisticated mechanical complication that ensures the watch remains precise by counteracting the effects of gravity. Richard Mille is renowned for pushing the boundaries of engineering in luxury watchmaking, and this *Piece Unique* is no exception. The emerald-set tourbillon dial, combined with the transparency of the sapphire case, provides a glimpse into the watch’s intricate workings, an artistic fusion of form and function.

The watch also carries symbolic meaning. In many ways, the titanium mask reflects J Balvin’s journey as an artist—unapologetically bold, unique, and breaking barriers. Just like the one-of-a-kind timepiece on his wrist, Balvin’s career has been a mix of high-impact collaborations and trendsetting, whether it’s in music, fashion, or now, luxury watches.

It’s no surprise that a watch of this magnitude would be seen at Michael Jordan’s birthday party, where the guest list was just as exclusive as the accessories worn. And for J Balvin, the RM 52-06 wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a reflection of his larger-than-life persona, a moment that seamlessly blended music, art, and horology.
