Richard Mille has announced the "RM 64-01 Colnago"—the first timepiece created in collaboration with the elite Italian bicycle brand Colnago. This skeleton tourbillon watch makes a striking impression: not only does its Quartz TPT case feature Colnago’s signature blue-and-white livery, but the bridge design of the new Calibre RM 64-01 movement also pays homage to the classic frame architecture of road racing bicycles.
The Richard Mille RM 64-01 Colnago tourbillon skeleton watch retains the brand's signature tonneau-shaped case, measuring 43.21mm by 49.94mm with a thickness of 14.23mm. The main case body is crafted from white Quartz TPT, while the bezel and caseback feature inserts of sky-blue Quartz TPT; the crown is constructed from a combination of blue and white Quartz TPT and rose gold, topped with the Colnago "Ace of Clubs" logo.
The open-worked dial fully reveals the movement's structure and operational details; the Z-shaped bridge design draws inspiration from the frame geometry of Colnago’s "Master" series road bikes from the 1980s, with a skeletonized barrel at 1 o'clock and the tourbillon and balance wheel assembly at 7 o'clock. A rose gold hour-marker ring paired with blue Quartz TPT decorative strips creates a visual color bridge between the movement bridges and the case, while the skeletonized hour and minute hands—modeled after road bike cranksets—showcase ingenious attention to detail.
The newly developed RM 64-01 skeletonized manual-winding tourbillon movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph and offers a 65-hour power reserve. Both the baseplate and bridges are crafted from Grade 5 titanium and finished with sandblasting, hand-bevelling, and a dual-tone black and grey PVD coating, creating a striking sense of depth and layering https://www.twatchclone.ru/.
