The esteemed watchmaker Richard Mille has unveiled the RM 88 Smiley, a playful automatic tourbillon watch that captures the joyful spirit of its namesake. With its V2 upgrade, this new all-in-one timepiece showcases intricate craftsmanship and innovation.

After three years of meticulous development, the RM 88 stands as a testament to the brand’s dedication to artistry. The watch features an automatic tourbillon movement and a wealth of decorative elements inspired by the cheerful Smiley world: blooming flowers, a warm sun, mouth-watering pineapples, flourishing cacti, pink flamingos, and vibrant rainbows.

This limited edition, with only 50 pieces worldwide, commands a staggering pre-tax price of 1.2 million Swiss Francs, making it a dreamlike acquisition. However, owning such exclusivity is out of reach for most, but the Smiley spirit reminds us to wear a smile and enjoy every sunny day.
