Hublot’s MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Only Watch is a unique piece that combines Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie. This luxurious timepiece draws inspiration from the iconic smiling flower, a central motif in the works of renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Murakami has been a friend of Hublot since 2020 and has collaborated with the brand on limited-edition series. However, the MP-15 Tourbillon surpasses its predecessors with its one-of-a-kind nature, featuring Hublot’s first-ever central tourbillon. To enhance its appeal, the watch is adorned with 12 gemstone-set petals, meticulously embellished with over 444 precisely-set gemstones, giving it a vibrant and joyful aesthetic.
The central tourbillon represents Hublot’s commitment to high-end watchmaking and Murakami’s world of artistic creativity. It symbolizes the heart of the wearer and serves as a beacon of hope for those battling Duchenne’s disease. The watch’s intricate design, crafted under Murakami’s vision, features a co-axial construction centered around a flying tourbillon. The indices on the watch dial are luminescent and reflect the vivid colors of the 2023 edition of Hublot for Only Watch. With a remarkable 150-hour power reserve and a case back made entirely from sapphire, this one-of-a-kind Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Only Watch will be auctioned off for charity at the Only Watch event on November 5th.
