Smiley Watch Guide: What to Look for to Make Sure You Love It!

So, I got this idea to mess around with a Smiley watch, right? I thought, “Why not?” It sounded fun, and I had some time to kill. I started by looking up some stuff online about it. Seems like there are some fancy ones out there, like those Richard Mille ones – they call it the RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley, pretty wild name. I saw they use a tourbillon movement and some even have these skeleton things where you can see the insides working. Fancy, huh?

Smiley Watch Guide: What to Look for to Make Sure You Love It!

I wasn’t about to drop a fortune on one of those, so I dug around for something simpler. I figured an Omega in a steel case would do just fine. A while back, I saw some English hand-made pocket watches but they are too expensive. I remembered there is a Day-Date 36 called “Jigsaw Puzzle” from Rolex, but it’s not my type.

Anyway, I got my hands on a basic watch. First thing I did was pop it open. I’m no watchmaker, but it’s always cool to see what’s going on inside these things. I played around with the idea of putting a smiley face on it. Took some trial and error, let me tell you. I tried a few different designs, sketching them out on paper first, trying to get that “radiant face” vibe I read about.

After messing up a couple of times, I finally got a smiley that looked decent. I carefully put it on the watch face. It was a bit tricky, making sure it was centered and all. Once that was done, I put the watch back together, which was another adventure in itself.

Here’s what I did, step by step:

  • Got a watch – nothing fancy, just a regular one.
  • Opened it up – carefully, so I wouldn’t break anything.
  • Drew some smiley faces – trying to get a good design.
  • Put the smiley on the watch face – this took some patience.
  • Put the watch back together – hoping I didn’t mess anything up.

In the end, I had my own Smiley watch! It’s not some high-end, Mars-themed, tourbillon thing, but it’s mine, and I made it. It’s kind of a pick-me-up, you know? Like that quote I saw, “a real tonic in a kind of glum time.” It’s just a fun little project, and now I have a unique watch to show for it. And hey, if some Swiss watchmaker can make a “smiley emoji” watch, why can’t I?
