At the heart of the RM 88 sits a manual-winding movement that breathes life into the openworked Smiley automaton display. The skeletonized dial weaves the iconic Smiley motif directly into the movement's bridge structure, creating a layered, animated composition that remains in constant visual motion on the wrist.
The 48 mm case combines ATZ ceramic with 18k rose gold accents, while an ATZ ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal complete the architecture. Water resistance is rated for splash exposure only, keeping the focus squarely on the watch's artisanal, display-driven purpose.
A rubber strap in a vibrant hue provides a striking complement to the bold ceramic case, fastened by a folding clasp for everyday security. The RM 88 stands as one of Richard Mille's most character-driven references, merging meticulous skeletonization with an openly irreverent aesthetic.
