A Bold Watch Expressing the Pop "Flower" Motif in All Black
The new "Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black" has been born from a project initiated by HUBLOT and world-renowned artist Takashi Murakami. This piece marks the first collaboration between HUBLOT and a Japanese artist. It features a 45mm case with the iconic design of the "Classic Fusion" collection, powered by the in-house developed and manufactured "Unico" caliber. This is a timepiece that transcends the boundaries of both watchmaking and art.
Takashi Murakami's iconic "flower" motif is boldly placed on the dial and crown, with a sophisticated ball-bearing system developed by HUBLOT engineers enabling the petals to rotate. Furthermore, the center of the "flower" is set in sapphire glass, creating a unique 3D effect along with a captivating "smile."
The petals and face are paved with brilliant-cut black diamonds (456 and 107 pieces, respectively), further enhancing the "All Black" expression, one of HUBLOT's most striking features.
When asked why he chose "All Black" for a collection known for its colorful works, Murakami stated, "About 15 years ago, when I was invited by HUBLOT, I was presented with a black rubber strap. From that memory, I associated HUBLOT with the color black, so I proposed a monochromatic black design. I'm very pleased that it expresses my first impression of HUBLOT."
