Hublot - Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow

Through a transparent background, it is possible to admire the transposition of the work of the artist into horology, beautifully integrated with the mechanisms designed by the Nyon-based watchmaker. 

Measuring 45 mm x 14 mm, the typical Classic Fusion case is here cut from sapphire crystal, a technological feat mastered by Hublot.info: xtime-store

The three-dimensional face of the smiling flower emerges from the watch dial, extending out beyond the sapphire crystal. Below, 12 colourful petals rotate around this face, with 487 coloured gemstones - rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, tsavorites, yellow and orange sapphires - carefully set to represent the colours of the rainbow.info: xtime-store

Thanks to a ball-bearing system developed by Hublot, the petals turn under the watch crystal bringing to life the dial.info: xtime-store

The movement of choice is a modified Hublot calibre HUB1214, here without the stopwatch function. Beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), this self-winding movement with open-worked rotor guarantees a power reserve of 72 hours.info: xtime-store

 

Matched to a transparent lined rubber wristband secured to the wrist by a folding clasp in stainless steel, the watch is water resistant up to a pressure of 5 bar ( 50 metres / 165 feet).info: xtime-store
