The iconic Parisian collector car show signs key collaboration with Richard Mille ahead of the inaugural U.S. event.
duPont REGISTRY Group (DRG), the world’s premier luxury automotive ecosystem, has announced an exclusive strategic partnership between its portfolio company, Retromobile New York, and Swiss watchmaking powerhouse Richard Mille. This collaboration signals a bold new chapter for collectors, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs, as the inaugural American edition of Retromobile prepares to debut November 19-22 in 2026, at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
Retromobile Paris has epitomized the pinnacle of automotive refinement: Legendary marques, master restorers, and discerning collectors have long converged on the French capital to celebrate craftsmanship, heritage, and mechanical artistry. In 2026, that legacy will cross the Atlantic, bringing the unparalleled sophistication of Retromobile to Manhattan for the very first time.
Retromobile is poised for a milestone year. In Paris, the show will celebrate its 50th anniversary, while across the Atlantic, its New York debut promises to establish a new epicenter for collector culture. In tandem with this historic expansion, Comexposium and Retromobile have sealed a multi-year partnership with Gooding Christie’s, one of the world’s most respected auction houses. Collectors will have access to the most extraordinary selection of vehicles ever presented at auction during the anniversary edition – and in future editions in both Paris and New York – proving its strong attraction for blue-chip partners.
Gooding Christie’s, celebrated for its market-leading automotive auctions, private brokerage, and bespoke client service, brings over two decades of experience in curating the world’s finest collector cars. This partnership ensures that Retromobile’s exhibitions will be matched by a roster of the rarest, most coveted automobiles available for acquisition, offering a seamless blend of viewing and ownership experiences.
Presented in collaboration with Comexposium, Retromobile New York will feature a curated collection of rare automobiles, luxury brands, and immersive experiences designed to celebrate artistry, engineering, and innovation. Central to this vision is the partnership with Richard Mille, whose ultra-luxury timepieces mirror the same precision, innovation, and avant-garde design found in the world’s most desirable automobiles. Together, Retromobile and Richard Mille unite the worlds of horology and motoring in a shared celebration of mechanical mastery.
“At duPont REGISTRY Group, we are committed to elevating the luxury automotive experience through innovation, partnerships, and passion,” said Antoine Tessier, CEO of duPont REGISTRY Group. “The collaboration between Retromobile New York and Richard Mille represents a perfect synergy of craftsmanship and culture. We are proud to bring this iconic event to Manhattan, where timeless design and mechanical excellence will converge to inspire a new generation of collectors and enthusiasts.”
From Paris to New York, from heritage automobiles to horological masterpieces, Retromobile 2026 promises a celebration of innovation, elegance, and cultural distinction. Against the vibrant backdrop of Manhattan, collectors and enthusiasts alike will experience a rare convergence of luxury, history, and artistry, redefining what it means to celebrate the enduring allure of mechanical perfection.
