Hublot and renowned Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami continue their creative partnership with the release of the MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow. This limited-edition timepiece, with only 20 pieces available, reimagines Murakami’s iconic smiling flower motif in a sapphire case adorned with 444 brilliantly colored gemstones. Each petal of the flower is set with a vibrant array of rubies, sapphires, amethysts, and more, showcasing Hublot’s expertise in gem-setting while encapsulating Murakami’s bold and playful artistic spirit.
At the heart of the watch lies Hublot’s first-ever central flying tourbillon, a groundbreaking mechanical feat powered by the HUB9015 manual-winding caliber with an impressive 120-hour power reserve. The timepiece’s central tourbillon is showcased beneath a domed sapphire crystal engraved with Murakami’s signature smiling face, while the transparent case reveals skeletonized components that seem to float, adding to the watch’s ethereal appeal. With its unique engineering and artistic design, the MP-15 blends the boundary-pushing aesthetics of contemporary art with the technical precision of haute horlogerie.
The MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow represents a culmination of Hublot and Murakami’s shared vision for innovation and creativity, with a playful yet sophisticated approach to luxury watchmaking. Complete with a transparent decorated rubber strap and a sapphire crystal buckle, this exceptional timepiece is a true collector’s item, available exclusively at Hublot boutiques worldwide.
