References: yankodesign
Designer Takashi Murakami designs a new MP-15 timepiece with Hublot defined by the sapphire flower detail. It is a limited timepiece with only 50 by the designer and appeals to watch collectors. It starts with a notable emblem by the Japanese designer in the form of a sapphire flower.
Notably, this is also the first watch that Hublot has created for an exclusive release that is made with a central flying tourbillon. Another difference is that this iteration does not have a classic dial, but has a complication in the middle where the hands move to the edge instead of the center. The tourbillon in the middle is decorated by the sapphire flower with captivating 12 petals.
