New Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Watch

 New Product Release: Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Watch

Many of the mechanically unique replica mens watches originally produced for the Only Watch charity auction eventually became the basis for timepieces that found their way into their respective brands' catalogs. Considering the huge expense involved in creating a new movement or case architecture, it only makes sense for the brand to get some type of return on investment. As the latest addition for 2023, Hublot has launched its first commercially available central tourbillon watch. The new Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire features a transparent flower-shaped case and builds on the brand's Only Watch concept launched this year, although this latest addition to Hublot's collection is not a one-of-a-kind watch destined for auction. The catalog will be produced as a limited edition of 50 examples for public use.

Normally, we wouldn’t see iterations of various brands’ Only Watch novelties until after charity auctions, but with Only Watch 2023 temporarily postponed, Hublot is launching commercial versions of its quirky Only Watch creations. The unique Hublot MP-15 Murakami Only Sapphire Watch has a flower-shaped sapphire case with 444 rainbow-colored gemstones on the petals, while the petals of the new Hublot MP-15 Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire Watch are Made of clear sapphire. .

Similar to the Only Watch series, the new Hublot MP-15 Murakami Only replica watches luxury sapphire case is also made of transparent sapphire, with a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 13.4 mm. It is equipped with a transparent sapphire display bottom cover and a transparent sapphire winding crown at 3 o'clock. location, waterproof to a depth of 30 meters. The concept behind this latest model is to achieve maximum transparency in the case, Hublot’s goal is not to let light shine directly on the new MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon sapphire, but to let the light pass directly through the watch itself.

As before, the Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire’s tourbillon is mounted directly in the center of the display without an upper bridge, giving it a floating appearance. At the same time, the hands are located below it and extend from the periphery to indicate the time on the small hour mark track between the central tourbillon and the transparent sapphire petals that form the watch case and bezel. Additionally, as with the rainbow-jeweled Only best replica watches, the thick domed sapphire crystal above the central tourbillon has been given eyes and a mouth, making the entire watch resemble the face of Murakami’s famous smiling cartoon flower character.

Since the new Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire is essentially a fully transparent version of the watch that debuted at Only Watch 2023, the new limited edition model is powered by the same in-house caliber HUB9015 hand-wound movement, exclusive to Hublot. Created to meet the requirements of Murakami Takashi to cooperate in the development of a central tourbillon watch. Cal of 236 components. The HUB9015 runs at 21,600vph (3 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 150 hours, and this impressive autonomous duration is achieved through its two mainspring barrels mounted in series.

Since the Hublot Cal. HUB9015 is a hand-wound movement with a power reserve of nearly a week, manual winding requires 100 turns of the crown, which ends up being a fairly time-consuming process. Therefore, Hublot equipped the MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire high quality watches replica with a special electronic winding stylus that is rechargeable via USB and mounted on the winding crown to stabilize the watch in a quick and controlled manner. Wind until maximum tension is provided. to the two mainspring barrels.

The strap of the new Hublot MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire is largely the same as that of the Only Watch model, made of translucent rubber and equipped with a titanium folding clasp decorated with decorative sapphire inlays things. Since the case is essentially a transparent sapphire flower sculpture, it doesn't have lugs of any kind (in the traditional sense), and Hublot didn't provide any photos of the strap or case reverse slide. Photos of the new MP-15 Takashi Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire model, the brand's Only Watch piece, show that the strap is attached to the case in a similar manner, secured from the watch's lower surface via a pair of small screws.

Typically, this model only appears after the unique Only Watch version has achieved some sky-high prices at auction, although we are now seeing things reversed with the new MP-15 Murakami Tourbillon Sapphire instead establishing Cost basis for purchasing the standard production version of Hublot's first central tourbillon watch.
