50 Pieces. Three Models. One Final Chapter: Richard Mille’s Most Collectible Release of 2026

Richard Mille does not do endings quietly. The Final Chapter of the RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics collection — launched March 18, 2026 — closes a creative trilogy that began in 2021 with something the series has never seen before: gem-setting. For the first time in the Colored Ceramics saga, diamonds and precious stones enter the picture, and the result is exactly as arresting as that sounds.

The three new RM 07-01 Ceramics Collection models are each strictly limited to 50 pieces and mark the culmination of a collection that has consistently pushed the boundaries of what a Richard Mille dial can be. Where previous iterations explored the tension between vibrant color and contrasting texture, the 2026 editions add a third dimension — diamonds placed across the dial and components with the kind of precision that transforms an already extraordinary object into something closer to sculpture.

The inspiration draws from the 1980s — an era of bold contrasts, unexpected materials, and liberated creativity — and Richard Mille channels that energy through dials built from multiple decorative techniques working in concert. The grey PVD-treated red-gold dial serves as the foundation, incorporating colored ceramic details finished to the nearest micron, laser-cut rubber appliqués, and diamond-set elements housed in white-gold inserts. The geometry is structured. The effect is anything but.

Central to each dial is guillochage — a centuries-old technique that Richard Mille executes without compromise. A guillocheur applies constant, repeated, millimetric pressure using a manual rose engine to produce fine striated curves that shift with light and shadow. It is one of the most demanding decorative disciplines in watchmaking, and here it serves as the anchor for everything else happening on the dial — the color, the texture, the diamonds. The result is a surface that genuinely moves when you look at it.

Powering each piece is Richard Mille’s in-house automatic CRMA2 calibre — a skeletonised movement crafted from grade 5 titanium delivering a 50-hour power reserve via a fast-rotating barrel and a variable-geometry rotor in gold. Electroplasma treatments on the baseplate and bridges amplify the contrast between components, and the openworked architecture ensures the movement is fully visible — a mechanical landscape as considered as the dial above it.

As Creative and Development Director, Cécile Guenat has noted of the collection: “These watches play on the juxtaposition of vibrant colors and contrasting textures, asserting a singular and disruptive graphic identity.” The Final Chapter delivers on that promise in full — and then raises it. For collectors seeking the definitive expression of this series, the window is 50 pieces per model. That is not a long window.

What makes the Richard Mille RM 07-01 Final Chapter different from previous editions? The 2026 Final Chapter introduces gem-setting for the first time in the Colored Ceramics series, with diamonds placed across the dial and components. The grey PVD-treated red-gold dial also incorporates colored ceramic details finished to the nearest micron, laser-cut rubber appliqués, diamond-set elements in white-gold inserts, and guillochage — a centuries-old manual engraving technique executed on a rose engine.

What is guillochage in watchmaking? Guillochage is a centuries-old decorative watchmaking technique in which a skilled guillocheur applies constant, repeated, millimetric pressure using a manual rose engine to create fine striated curves across a dial surface. The technique produces intricate light-and-shadow effects that shift as the watch moves. Richard Mille employs guillochage on the RM 07-01 Final Chapter dials as a foundational decorative element alongside ceramic, rubber, and gem-set components.
