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.
From the Quai des Bergues Lady collection, Czapek presents the Lady No.7 model, clad in a luxurious 1N white gold case and adorned with lustrous diamonds. The model measures a 38.5mm diameter and is topped with a curved scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass lens that protects the surface of a stunning mother of pearl dial. The captivating pearly shades of the dial are accompanied by glistening VVS diamonds located at each hour marker. The display, with white gold Fleur de Lys hands, also features a small second sub-dial at 7 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock.
The Czapek Quai des Bergues Lady No.7 watch is powered by one of the brand’s proprietary movements, complete with double open ratchets, sandblasted bridges, blue screws, bevelling, and final anglage decoration that have all been made visible through a sapphire crystal glass caseback. The manual winding movement is capable of producing a 7 day power reserve that can be read from the power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock. To complete its elegant look, the white gold Quai des Bergues watch is fitted on a deep blue alligator leather strap with a white gold buckle.
The Antarctique combines sophisticated style and look with a genuine in-house power movement bound to stake a major claim in the popular sport-chic segment.
The Antarctique is a 40.5 mm or 38.5 mm three-hander, thin enough to slip comfortably under a cuff, and with a carefully-honed, edgy look. The transparent case back reveals the model’s beating heart, the vigorous, 30-millimeter SXH5 automatic caliber, conceived internally by a multifaceted team. Special attention was given to both performance and appearance, so the movement’s parts are arranged for visual harmony and transparency.
Alternatively, the Antarctique Rattrapante in 42.5 mm., a split-second mono-pusher chronograph with a unique, dial-side mechanism, embodies the delicate balance between high-end mechanics and refined aesthetics.
