Watch by Hublot Classic Fusion Racing Grey Chronograph Titanium 42 mm
There are only 50 MP-15 Takashi Murakami watches available and for a serious watch collector who likes pretty things, this is a must-have.
Not only does it have the iconic motif from the Japanese designer of a sapphire flower, but it is also the first watch that Hublot produced for an exclusive release that has a central flying tourbillon and it also does not have a traditional dial. Instead, you get a complication in the center and the hands are moved to the edge instead of the center, running under the tourbillon.
The aforementioned tourbillon is in the middle and surrounded by the sapphire flower with 12 petals. The entire design is luminous and so you get to experience the play of light when it is reflected on the translucent flange and bracelet as well as the sapphire case, caseback, and crown.
The flying centre tourbillon has a power reserve of 150 hours and a special pin to wind it up that can be charged through a USB port. All of the components for the watch are skeletonized, giving off a mixture of transparency and delicacy.
This is funny, at official launch of the new Hublot watch collection in collaboration with Depeche Mode on this Monday (19.02.2024) in Berlin Dave and Martin weared these cool, new watches on the stage, but other promotion photos were photoshopped. In 2022 there were also an Hublot campaign with other watch (this one, since 2015), and Hublot supprted Soulsavers tour in 2021.
