Richard Mille is ending the RM 07-01’s artful “Coloured Ceramics” collection but only after it launches the wildest wristwear in the line’s history.

In a release, Richard Mille says its final Coloured Ceramics range is “the pinnacle” of its five-year investigation into how maximalist 1980s design can merge with high-end watchmaking. Certainly, this is the most opulent selection yet, as it’s the first with gem-set decorations.

Coloured Ceramics’ previous collections took inspiration from the Memphis design school founded by Ettore Sottsass, the Italian architect whose colorful furniture looked like kids' playthings. These high-vis design principles again permeate this latest round of sports watches. 

The radical color theory Sottsass taught at Memphis is epitomized neatly by the one of the Coloured Creamics timepieces' clashing orange strap, light pink case, and yellow winder. The case’s squiggly diamonds and the dial’s abstract compositions are also typical of Sottsass and his vibrant postmodern style. 

The result is attention-grabbing even by Richard Mille’s extravagant standards. However, for all the RM 07-01’s grandiose exterior, there’s some serious Swiss watchmaking beneath the hood. 

Each colorful timepiece is powered by Richard Mille’s CRMA2, an automatic skeletonized movement made from grade 5 titanium and with a 50-hour power reserve. Only a select number of people will ever get to see the CRMA2 in action on these Coloured Ceramics watches, though, since each final edition is limited to a scant 50 pieces and priced over $200,000 apiece.
