Richard Mille Rm 88 Automatikaufzug Tourbillon Smiley Limited Edition Unisex Uhr

Drawn by Franklin Loufrani just over 50 years ago, the Smiley has become a universal symbol that embodies positivity and joy. Richard Mille pays tribute to this iconic symbol with the RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley Limited Edition Unisex Watch.

Mechanics of a Smile: A Whimsical Display

Surrounding the Smiley's radiant face, miniature sculptures come to life within the RM 88's movement, creating a surreal scene filled with fun and enthusiasm. This technical marvel demonstrates true mastery of the infinitely small, as attention to detail and perfection breathe life into a veritable smile mechanism.

A Limited Edition Tribute

The RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley is an unconventional creation produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces. This exclusive timepiece celebrates the Smiley's expression of positivity and optimism.

The Smiley as a Universal Language

The Smiley, with its yellow circle, oval eyes, and upturned mouth, has become deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness. It symbolizes positivity, joy, and sharing, playing a significant role in pop culture across different creative generations. Richard Mille's emotion-driven watch captures these values beautifully.

Exceptional Specifications

The Richard Mille RM 88 is powered by the in-house Calibre CRMT7, a skeletonized automatic winding tourbillon movement that offers hours, minutes, and a function indicator. With a power reserve of around 50 hours, this watch ensures reliable and precise timekeeping.

Craftsmanship and Materials

The baseplate and bridges of the RM 88 are crafted from microblasted grade 5 titanium with a PVD treatment. This enhances rigidity, surface flatness, and the functioning of the gear train. Grade 5 titanium, known for its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, is a favored alloy in aerospace and automotive industries.

Design and Style

With a tonneau-shaped ceramic case and a red gold bezel, the RM 88 exudes elegance and durability. The transparent case back allows a glimpse of the intricate movement. The skeleton dial with luminous hands adds a contemporary touch, while the tourbillon complication enhances precision and mechanical complexity.
