# Soccer-Inspired Tourbillon Watches Rm 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer Shows Match-Tracking Complications By Amy Duong | Published 2026-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rm-4101 References: [richardmille](https://www.richardmille.com/collections/rm-41-01-soccer)  The new RM 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer by Richard Mille is a limited-edition mechanical watch that interprets key elements of a soccer match through bespoke complications integrated into its movement. Rather than using decorative motifs or team colors alone, the timepiece embeds sport-specific functions such as a match-phase indicator and mechanical goal counters directly into its [skeletonized architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endeavour-minute-repeater). Developed over approximately five years and built in collaboration with [Audemars Piguet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audemars-piguet-x-ambush), the manual-winding Calibre RM41-01 comprises roughly 650 components in a [grade 5 titanium chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp17-meca10). It includes a flying tourbillon with a patented double-column-wheel flyback chronograph, maintaining a power reserve of around 70 hours. A match-phase display advances through first half, second half, and extra time with each reset, while dual linear counters track home and away goals up to nine before reset.
