The renowned luxury watchmaker, Richard Mille, has unveiled a captivating piece – the RM 88 Smiley Automatic Tourbillon Watch. This new release embodies a playful aesthetic, seamlessly blending art and engineering in a vibrant celebration of joy.

After three years of meticulous development, the RM 88 stands out with its innovative self-winding tourbillon movement and an array of delightful decorative elements. Each component of this masterpiece is inspired by the cheerful world of Smiley, featuring blooming flowers, a warm sun, delectable pineapple, growing cactus, a pink flamingo, and a bright rainbow. These elements come together to paint a picture of happiness few can resist.

Imagine savoring a joyful cocktail amidst the dynamic glow of neon lights—that’s the essence encapsulated in the RM 88. As dreamy as the watch itself, its price is equally lofty; only 50 pieces have been crafted, each priced at an impressive 1.2 million Swiss Francs before tax, pushing the sum to nearly 10 million RMB with taxes accounted for.

While such exclusivity might be beyond reach for most, the RM 88 serves as a testament to the artistry and innovation synonymous with Richard Mille. For those who can’t purchase, it’s an invitation to appreciate and be inspired by the craftsmanship, and perhaps, to wear a smile as bright as the Smiley itself every day.
