Introduction to Hamdan
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, known globally by his social media moniker Fazza, is the Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. Born in 1982, he is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the UAE. Beyond his role in governance and his work overseeing key areas of Dubai's development, Hamdan has built a substantial public profile through poetry, competitive show jumping, skydiving, and a social media following that numbers in the tens of millions — making him one of the most visible royals anywhere in the world.
The Hamdan watch collection, as captured across public appearances and social media, leans heavily into Richard Mille — the Swiss-French manufacturer that has spent two decades engineering watches to tolerances more commonly associated with aerospace than horology. Hamdan has been photographed wearing the Richard Mille RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, a reference introduced in 2015 and built around a tourbillon regulator suspended by cables just 0.28mm in diameter. The construction is technically extreme: the movement is designed to withstand the g-forces generated during a professional tennis serve, which makes it a curious but deliberate choice for a royal whose own pursuits — equestrian sport, extreme outdoor activities — place similar physical demands on what is worn on the wrist.
With three watches currently logged in our database, the collection as documented is compact but pointed. Each confirmed sighting involves a Richard Mille reference at the upper end of the brand's complexity scale, suggesting a preference for the engineering-driven side of the catalogue rather than its more commercially accessible pieces. For a figure of Hamdan's public reach, the watches he chooses to wear — and be photographed in — carry weight beyond personal taste, functioning as a quiet but legible signal of where he places his attention.
Sheikh Hamdan Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Inserted 05/06/2023
The RM27-02 can withstand up to 10,000 Gs of shock — a specification born from Rafael Nadal's punishing on-court demands and one of the most extreme engineering challenges ever undertaken in haute horlogerie. Built on a cable-suspended tourbillon with a TPT quartz case, this watch retails at $842,800 and exists in strictly limited numbers. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and an avid collector of exceptional timepieces, was recently spotted wearing the piece, adding another remarkable sighting to his already enviable watch rotation.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 67-02 'United Arab Emirates'
Inserted 29/04/2023
At just 32 grams, the Richard Mille RM 67-02 holds the title of lightest automatic watch in the brand's entire catalogue — a feat achieved through the marriage of North Thin Ply Technology carbon composite and grade 5 titanium. This particular variant, produced exclusively for the UAE national cycling team, is not available for public purchase at any price, placing it firmly in the category of unwearable-for-most horological rarities. That it appears on the wrist of Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, one of the world's most watch-literate royals, is entirely fitting.
Sheikh Hamdan (Fazza) Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM27-01 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Richard Mille RM27-01 was engineered to withstand the brutal mechanical stress of a professional tennis serve — its movement survives shocks up to 10,000g, a specification that borders on aerospace engineering. Built around a hand-wound tourbillon calibre suspended in a triaxial structure with braided carbon nanotubes, the entire watch weighs just 19 grams. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and widely known by his poet identity Fazza, was spotted on the wrist with this extraordinary piece — a fitting choice for royalty with a well-documented taste for extreme horology.
