Richard Mille has unveiled the RM 88 Smiley automatic winding tourbillon watch, a bold statement of playful elegance. This timepiece, a result of three years of meticulous research and development, represents extraordinary craftsmanship and innovative design.

The RM 88 showcases a self-developed movement, encapsulating vibrant elements from the Smiley’s joyful universe: blooming flowers, a warm sun, delicious pineapples, thriving cacti, pink flamingos, and bright rainbows. It’s akin to savoring a cheerful cocktail beneath a lively display of neon lights.

Priced at a staggering 1.2 million Swiss francs, the RM 88 Smiley is a dreamlike timepiece with an equally dreamlike price tag. This globally limited edition of 50 pieces has a pre-tax price that can reach nearly 10 million RMB with taxes included. While owning this masterpiece might be out of reach for most, its playful charm reminds us to smile like the Smiley and find sunshine in every day.
