A Work of Art

For its first collaboration with Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami, Hublot has pushed at the boundaries of creation by developing a new dynamic on the theme of Murakami’s artistic emblem, the smiling flower. Titled the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black, the centre of the smiling flower is inserted onto the sapphire glass, which creates a unique three-dimensional effect to go along with its wide prominent smile. Furthermore, the watch also comes with black lacquered dial and a rotating decor with 12 black-plated petals set with 456 black diamonds. The petals, meanwhile, turns by way of an ingenious ball-bearing system developed by Hublot’s engineers. Limited to only 200 pieces, it’s safe to say that the watch will quickly become a real collector’s item.
