MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Rainbow 42MM

MONOLITHIC SAPPHIRE FLOWING CHASSIS SCULPTED WITH A TAPESTRY OF 444 COLORED GEMSTONES

This exceptional timepiece projects absolute dominance through its spectacular 42mm sculptural flower case, beautifully mimicking the 12-petaled silhouette of Murakami’s legendary smiling flower asset. The entire framework is masterfully cut from solid synthetic Sapphire Crystal and polished to absolute clarity, unlocking a fully transparent window that layout the technical gear train beneath.

The visual soul is brilliantly elevated by a heavy polished titanium petal bezel perimeter, flawlessly set with 444 ethically sourced brilliant-cut colored gemstones. This complex jewelry arrangement executes a smooth, chronological rainbow gradient mapping out Rubies, Pink Sapphires, Amethysts, Blue Sapphires, Tsavorites, and Yellow and Orange Sapphires. Paired with a transparent decorated rubber strap and a specialized sapphire crystal and titanium deployment buckle, this highly brilliant, “totally kawaii” framework satisfies a 30m water resistance (3 ATM).

THE ANTHOLOGY OF “SUPERFLAT” DESIGN – MECHANICAL FUSION LAID BARE

Transcending preconceived horological outlines, this creation mirrors Murakami’s signature “Superflat” artistic movement by entirely blurring the lines between high-art sculpture and watch face dynamics. Beneath a domed sapphire crystal treated with advanced anti-reflective materials, the indicator surface is crafted from polished transparent composite resin. The character’s cheerful eyes and iconic smiling mouth are laser-engraved directly onto the inner side of the sapphire cap that covers the tourbillon node, creating a deeply structural three-dimensional volumetric illusion. The mechanical readings are cleverly pushed to the outer track to remain perfectly clean and highly scannable without distracting from the artistic geometry.

MANUFACTURE CALIBRE HUB9015: HUBLOT’S FIRST CENTRAL TOURBILLON ENGINE WITH A 5-DAY RUNTIME

Ensuring absolute operational precision and authority is the mechanical hand-wound Calibre HUB9015 Manufacture movement, engineered entirely within Hublot’s workshop in Nyon. Breaking standard complication layouts, Hublot’s watchmakers have introduced their very first Central Tourbillon movement architecture. This daring engineering feat requires the hour and minute gear indications to be driven peripherally, making the central regulating organ float dramatically as the focal point of the flower core.

The suspended tourbillon configuration provides exceptional gravitational compensation across all axes while yielding a spectacular mechanical depth. Driven by an advanced high-capacity mainspring matrix, this hand-wound caliber provides an unparalleled power reserve of approximately 120 hours (5 full days) of constant rate stability, curated strictly for the global elite collector.
