Hublot and Takashi Murakami Collaboration

Ricardo Guadalupe, who is chief executive of Hublot, made the video announcement in Nyon in Switzerland, whilst Takashi remained in Tokyo. Takashi is renowned for “blurring the lines” between fine art and commerce, and is a big fan of black – which are also very similar to Hublot’s ideologies. When travelling was still possible, Takashi was able to visit the Hublot watchmaking plant in Switzerland. Seeing their passion and dedication to detail (as well as enjoying their very impressive in-house dining facilities!) convinced Takashi to go forward with the collaboration.

Though encrusted with diamonds, the petals remain free-spinning, bringing both animation and art together in one outstanding timepiece. The watch as its name implies, is all black, but stunningly designed with lots of texture, movement and detail. Set with 456 black diamonds, and an additional 107 black diamonds on the watch’s face, it is also equipped with a Unico movement.
