Hublot has once again collaborated with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami on a unique piece, for the Only Watch 2023 auction. The biannual charity auction, all proceeds from which go towards research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, has seen watch brands create exceptional one-off pieces since its launch in 2005.
The Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Only Watch marries Murakami’s colourful design codes with Hublot’s sharp technicality – here, the brand debuts its first central flying tourbillon in a feat of engineering. Murakami specifically requested the complication, challenging Hublot to create a piece seemingly hovering in the air, awarding hours and minutes the same central positioning while staying faithful to Murakami’s precise proportions.
