What to know

Richard Mille's collaboration with Italian bicycle manufacturer Colnago produced one of 2026's most recognizable sport-inspired high-complication watches. The RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago translates the shapes and colours of performance bicycle frames into an exposed, geometric movement.

At the centre of the mechanical concept is an open tourbillon, with bright blue and white structural elements referring to Colnago's cycling identity. Its white Quartz TPT case and integrated rubber strap continue the theme of lightness and resistance.

The deliberately architectural mechanism resembles the members of a miniature bike frame more than a classical dial, ensuring that the design connection extends beyond branding.

Presented in mid-2026 as a limited series of 50 examples, the watch demonstrates how Richard Mille uses sports partnerships to experiment with materials and mechanical presentation.
