Hublot Goes Technicolour With The MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow

The Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon is a testament to collaboration at the intersection of modern art and horology. Born out of Hublot's partnership with renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, this piece embodies a fusion of avant-garde watchmaking and Murakami’s iconic aesthetic. Their relationship began in 2021, with Murakami's vision materializing through unique pieces, including the Classic Fusion series and NFTs, each pushing the boundaries of art and watchmaking. 

For the Only Watch 2023 charity auction, Hublot and Murakami elevated their collaboration to new heights, creating the MP-15. Featuring Murakami's "smiling flower" motif, this wearable sculpture melds contemporary art, intricate gem-setting, and Hublot’s advanced tourbillon. The gem-setting is particularly notable, as Hublot meticulously selects gemstones to achieve a seamless rainbow gradient, showing their expertise in color transition and precision. This release not only exemplifies the synergy between Hublot and Murakami but also highlights how the watchmaker pioneers unique techniques to redefine the boundaries of traditional watch design.
