Takashi Murakami x Hublot MP-15 Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow Watch

Hublot and Takashi Murakami have strengthened their collaboration with the limited release of the MP-15 Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow watch.

The timepiece is shaped like Takashi Murakami's signature flower motif and is crafted from polished sapphire crystal that allows for a clear view of its intricate mechanics. Measuring 42mm in diameter, the watch features petals adorned with 444 gemstones, each featuring a different color that corresponds to its hour marker.

Unlike the previous Only Watch edition, which displayed a rainbow gradient across all petals, this new version highlights individual colors for each petal. The centerpiece of the dial features Murakami's iconic smiley face, laser-engraved onto the domed sapphire crystal, beneath which lies the HUB9015 manual-winding tourbillon. The skeletonized movement creates a visual effect that makes it appear as though it is floating.

The Takashi Murakami x Hublot MP-15 Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow watch will be available in a limited edition run of 20 pieces, each priced at $374,000 USD. The one-off piece previously sold at the Only Watch 2023 auction fetched 420,000 CHF (approximately $484,473 USD). For more information, visit Hublot's website.
