The Richard Mille RM 88 Smiley is an extraordinary embodiment of playful artistry and innovative engineering. This timepiece isn’t just an accessory; it’s a statement piece that merges vibrant aesthetics with high-performance watchmaking.

After an intensive three-year development period, the RM 88 Smiley Automatic Tourbillon has been introduced to the world. This watch showcases a self-winding tourbillon movement, complemented by an array of joyful elements inspired by the lively Smiley universe. Each decorative detail—from blooming flowers and a warm sun to a delicious pineapple and a vibrant cactus—reflects the brand’s commitment to embodying happiness in its creations.

Add to this a whimsical flamingo, a vivid rainbow, and a neon-lit cocktail glass scene that suggests life’s pleasures should be savored, and you have a dreamlike watch that is as elusive in price as it is in availability. With only 50 pieces globally, the RM 88 is priced at a hefty 1.2 million Swiss Francs, which roughly translates to nearly 10 million RMB after taxes, given a current exchange rate of 7.25.

This watch may be beyond reach for many, yet it invites you to embrace the Smiley spirit, greeting each day with a sunny outlook. In the end, whether you can afford the RM 88 or not, its essence reminds us to smile and enjoy the simple joys life offers.
