Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley Limited Edition Unisex Watch
Drawn by Franklin Loufrani just over 50 years ago and first appearing in the pages of the French newspaper France Soir, the little yellow face of the Smiley has become a universal symbol that played a major role at the heart of pop culture across several generations.
Around the Smiley’s radiant face, an array of miniature sculptures takes possession of the RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley’s movement, forming and reforming a surreal scene, brimming with fun and enthusiasm and demonstrating true mastery of the infinitely small.
Light as it may seem, the creation of this ballet was a technical challenge of the highest order.
But the dream has now become reality, with attention to detail and perfection taken to the utmost, breathing life into a veritable smile mechanism.
An expression of positivity and optimism, the Smiley is celebrated by Richard Mille with the release of the RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley, an unconventional creation produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces.
