Hublot Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow

An exquisite and sophisticated exercise in artistry is the focal point of the new Hublot Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow, the next timepiece made in collaboration with Takashi Murakami. The new Hublot Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow features a smiling flower depicted on a three-dimensional face that extends beyond the sapphire crystal. There are 12 colourful petals that rotate around the face, covered in 487 stones that represent the colours of the rainbow: rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, tsavorites, yellow and orange sapphires. And the final piece of ingenuity at play here is a ball-bearing system that turns the petals under the watch crystal which brings the smiling flower to life.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon

New from Roger Dubuis is the Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon. Combining world-famous urban culture artists, the radical Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon features a stunning array of vivid colours which mask the true haute horlogerie prowess of the timepiece. We love that the focal point here is not on the tourbillon but rather on the bright colours throughout the exposed movement. Fantastic stuff.
