Hublot added to the growing list of contemporary artists it works with this morning when CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, who appeared as a holographic projection from Switzerland at the Ginza launch, revealed the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black.
Japanese artist Murakami has used his signature Smiling Flower motif on the dial of an All Black Classic Fusion with a fixed central ‘face’ mounted on top of the watch’s sapphire crystal and 12 petals set on a ball bearing-mounted carousel forming a spinning dial.
