Richard Mille

The notion of competition is entirely absent from the Rallye des Légendes Richard Mille, a three-day event following a star-shaped route that brings participants back to the same central town each evening. Each edition brings 50 of the world’s most exceptional and rarely seen racing cars, dating from 1925 to 1975, to some of Europe’s most spectacular roads and landscapes. Selected for their historical significance and technical qualities, these cars are not here to compete, but to celebrate automotive excellence and the pride of driving exceptional machines. The region itself takes centre stage, with participants discovering its landscapes, culture and gastronomy. Covering at least 250 kilometres per day, they explore the area while enjoying culinary experiences prepared by some of its finest chefs.

The barrel serves as the watch's energy reservoir, much like the fuel tank of a racing car. As the mainspring is wound, either manually or by the rotor, it stores mechanical energy, which is then released progressively to the gear train. At Richard Mille, the barrel rotates faster than in a conventional watch, one revolution every 5 hours instead of 7.5. This reduces adhesion between the mainspring coils, ensuring a more stable delivery of energy throughout the power reserve, which ranges from approximately 40 hours to as much as 10 days, depending on the model. Some movements feature a double-barrel system that distributes the stored energy between two barrels rather than one. This lowers the load on the gear train, bearings and pivots, reducing friction, improving long-term reliability and enhancing torque stability for more consistent performance.

Overload There comes a moment when accumulation ceases to be mere addition. Concepts, lines, materials, forces and mechanisms come together until every reference fades away. The eye hesitates. The mind searches for meaning. Then, suddenly, everything falls into place. What first feels like overload becomes revelation. From mechanics comes motion. From motion comes speed. From speed comes performance. And when every element finally finds its rightful place, performance gives rise to beauty. Overload is not excess. It is the moment when complexity becomes purity. bit.ly/4eKhiwn

Endurance racing is like an epic battle. It’s a remorseless crusade of man and metal. A grueling challenge, pushing all involved to the absolute limit. Total commitment is the only option available. This film pays homage to past heroes whose exploits have forged the legend of the Le Mans 24 Hours. Taking inspiration from Shakespeare’s timeless play Henry V, it immortalises these skirmishes, forays, attacks, and defences, the legends of which still echo around the Circuit de Sarthe to this very day. It also celebrates racing’s unsung heroes: the teams of mechanics who spend their lives fighting in the obscurity of the pits, so drivers can shine on the tarmac. Fundamentally, this wider sense of fraternity is what racing is all about: shared passion, ambition, and drive. Once the combat is over, former enemies can become best friends and look back with fondness and pride at the dreams made together. Watch the full video on Youtube : https://lnkd.in/eHnZWkSG

Tadej Pogačar does more than win races; he continually redefines what is possible in modern cycling. In much the same way, Colnago has never been content with simply building bicycle frames, instead reshaping the very approach to high-performance road cycling through innovation and engineering excellence. The RM 64-01 follows the same philosophy. It does not simply measure time. It honours movement, celebrates speed and pays tribute to the irreplaceable human hand behind every extraordinary object.

More than a collaboration, the RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is the meeting of two manufacturers for whom technical innovation has always been inseparable from craftsmanship. A watch where the worlds of haute horlogerie and elite cycling converge through a shared culture of engineering. bit.ly/4eKhiwn
