Richard Mille has unveiled the RM 88 Smiley Automatic Tourbillon Watch, a celebration of whimsical creativity and profound craftsmanship. Taking three years to develop, this extraordinary timepiece blends innovative design with cheerful elements inspired by the vibrant Smiley universe. The watch features symbols of joy such as blooming flowers, a warm sun, a delicious pineapple, thriving cacti, a pink flamingo, and a dazzling rainbow, all expertly integrated within its design.

In the playful spirit of the Smiley, the RM 88 invites wearers to savor life’s moments like a delightful cocktail, with each sip offering a taste of happiness. However, this dream-like watch comes with an equally fantastical price. Created in a limited edition of just 50 pieces, the RM 88 is priced at 1.2 million Swiss Francs before tax, which translates to nearly 10 million RMB after conversion and taxes.

Despite its steep price tag, the RM 88 Smiley is meant to be admired rather than owned by everyone. Like the Smiley itself, which encourages a sunny disposition, this watch is a reminder that every day can be bright and joyful. Even if the watch is beyond reach for many, its presence brings smiles and wonderment to all who look upon it.
