Raphaël Collignon & Col&McArthur
Since the beginning of May, Col&McArthur has been proud to announce its collaboration with Raphaël Collignon, currently ranked 73rd in the world and steadily climbing the ranks. A true rising star of Belgian tennis, Raphaël embodies the values that resonate deeply with our brand: humility, perseverance, and precision.
On the courts as in our workshops, every movement matters. The player, like the watchmaker, seeks the perfect gesture, the one where technique blends with emotion. And behind every victory, as behind every Col&McArthur watch, lies a quest for excellence, fueled by passion, rigor, and time.
This partnership is much more than a collaboration: it is the meeting of two worlds driven by the same desire to leave their mark on time, between performance, heritage and elegance.
LEONARDO 1519 & LUNAR 1969 CARBON ON HIS WRIST
To mark this collaboration, it was essential to choose the wrist companions that will accompany Raphaël throughout his tournaments: these watches that will bear witness to every moment, whether it be victory or defeat.
On a tennis court, time never flows the same way: sometimes it seems to stand still, sometimes it speeds up in a flash. It is this tension, this intensity, that resonates with the daily life of a top-level athlete.
Raphaël chose two iconic models from our brand:
- The Lunar1969 Carbon, a carbon-forged interpretation of our best-seller, equipped with a Swiss automatic movement.
-
The Leonardo 1519, recognizable by its crown positioned on the left and its Miyota automatic movement, is a tribute to the ingenuity of the Italian master.
At press conferences or courtside, keep your eyes peeled: on his wrist, there might be a fragment of the Moon or the visionary spirit of Leonardo da Vinci hidden.
AMAZING INITIAL RESULTS
Since the beginning of our collaboration, we have consistently been impressed and proud of Raphaël Collignon's achievements. His unwavering commitment, combined with the wise guidance of Steve Darcis, is already bearing fruit in the most remarkable way.
His run at the US Open, highlighted by a memorable victory against Casper Ruud, then ranked 12th in the world, left everyone speechless. More recently, his decisive victory against Alex de Minaur, ranked 7th in the world, in the Davis Cup secured Belgium's place in the quarterfinals.
These performances, we hope, mark the beginning of a truly great story. At Col&McArthur, we will continue to support him with admiration, to thrill to each of his matches, and to celebrate alongside him throughout this exceptional journey.
A twelve-month collaboration that already looks as unique as it is promising.
