The Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley is a bold fusion of artistic creativity and cutting-edge watchmaking. Housed in a 48.15 × 39.74 mm case with a thickness of 13.3 mm, it features a white ATZ ceramic bezel and caseback, paired with an 18K red gold caseband.
At its core lies the CRMT7 skeletonized automatic tourbillon calibre, offering hours, minutes, a function indicator, and a 50-hour power reserve. Built on a double baseplate system, the movement is surrounded by meticulously hand-crafted micro-sculptures in 18K gold—such as a smiley face, sun, flamingo, cactus, and cocktail glass—each symbolizing joy and lightness.
Despite its playful spirit, the RM 88 maintains serious technical performance with a free-sprung balance, platinum rotor, and water resistance up to 50 meters. A limited edition of just 50 pieces, this model showcases Richard Mille’s unique blend of mechanical innovation and expressive design.
Richard Mille RM 74‑01 Automatic Tourbillon
The RM 74‑01 houses Richard Mille’s in‑house CRMT6 calibre, an ultra‑skeletonised automatic tourbillon movement offering around 50 hours of power reserve. At its core is a free‑sprung balance with variable inertia, adjusted via four micro‑weights for superior accuracy and shock resistance.
The case measures approximately 52.6 × 34.4 mm and is crafted in grey Cermet—an exclusive Richard Mille composite combining the lightness of titanium with the hardness of ceramic—while the caseband, baseplate, and bridges use Grade 5 titanium for strength and durability.
Unique to this model is the variable‑geometry rotor, allowing owners to adjust rotor inertia to suit their activity level, ensuring optimal winding efficiency.
The dial features a fully skeletonised layout, showcasing the movement’s intricate mechanics with visibility down to the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, all protected under a sapphire crystal and paired with a rubber strap for sporty comfort.
To sum up, the RM 74‑01 blends avant‑garde materials, technical innovation, and minimalist elegance in a slim tonneau‑shaped form—ideal for those seeking haute horology with a modern edge.
