When a timekeeper becomes a work of art: The 'Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black' is the result of a cooperation between Swiss maker of luxury watches Hublot and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The timepiece represents Murakami's smiling flower as a revolving piece of art on the dial. To do this, Hublot developed a sophisticated ball bearing system, which rotates the petals set with 456 diamonds on the dial. In the centre sits the pistil its distinctive wide smile. It is decorated with 107 cut diamonds and integrated in the sapphire crystal, which creates a unique three-dimensional effect.
