26 January 2021 CLASSIC FUSION TAKASHI MURAKAMI ALL BLACK When a watch becomes a work of art: The Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black blurs the lines! For its first collaboration with a Japanese contemporary artist, Hublot has pushed at the boundaries of creation by developing a new dynamic on the theme of Murakami’s artistic emblem, the smiling flower. Hublot loves Art! Before we know how to talk, we sing. Before we know how to write, we draw. We can barely stand up and we dance. Art is at the very foundation of human beings, a truth that has been embraced by the Hublot manufacture through its “The Art of Fusion” motto. The watchmaking manufacture regularly draws on great creative spirits. Our team of ambassadors is now joined for the first time by one of the most internationally renowned living artists: Takashi Murakami. His visually very modern style offers a subtle reflection between Japanese tradition and pop culture. He masterfully achieves this result by combining leading-edge multimedia tools with traditional Japanese techniques such as gold leaf. A real rock star in the contemporary art world, he coined the name Superflat for the artistic movement he began. An initial visit to the Hublot manufacture in February 2020 enabled Takashi Murakami to familiarise himself with the work of a watchmaker and timepiece design. This triggered a creative process that resulted in the very innovative Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami, inspired by Murakami’s icon, the smiling flower. Here, it is present both in and on the watch. Thanks to an ingenious ball-bearing system developed by Hublot’s engineers, its petals start turning. The center of the smiling flower is inserted onto the sapphire glass, creating a unique three-dimensional effect to go along with its wide prominent smile. The Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black takes up one of the most evocative Hublot signatures, the All Black! Invented by Hublot in 2006, it turns out that the “All Black” style is also one of Murakami’s artistic signatures. For an even more pronounced effect, the petals (456 brilliants) and face (107 brilliants) are here set with black diamonds. The watchmakers in Nyon have installed their manufacture Unico calibre in the case with its Classic Fusion emblematic design, a movement offering a 72-hour power reserve. As the first collaboration between Hublot and a Japanese artist, the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black will quickly become a real collector’s item since it is limited to only 200 models. 더 보기 “Takashi Murakami is an international star, not only in contemporary art circles but also with the general public. He shakes up the borders between art and pop culture. It is a real privilege to see him join our team of ambassadors. We are delighted with the launch of this watch-work of art!” Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO “When I visited the Hublot manufacture in Switzerland for the first time, I realised to what extent the traditional know-how, precision, futuristic technology and craftsmanship were all intertwined in the creation of a watch. Bringing my art into the creativity of these watchmakers represents a unique adventure for me. ” Takashi Murakami Contemporary Artist 예술 & 음악 무라카미 다카시 더 알아보기 ©TM/KK 최신 뉴스 위블로 앰배서더이자 축구 챔피언인 킬리안 음바페가 새로운 CLASSIC FUSION 크로노그래프 UEFA 챔피언스 리그 티타늄을 공개합니다 2025년 9월 9일, 니옹 – 축구에서 중요한 건 결국 타이밍입니다. 2015년부터 위블로는 UEFA 챔피언스 리그의 공식 타임키퍼로 함께하며 초마다, 골마다, 영광마다 위대한 순간들을 기록해왔습니다. 잊지 못할 10년을 기념하며, 위블로는 2025/26시즌의 시작을 알리는 리미티드 에디션 클래식 퓨전 크로노그래프 UEFA 챔피언스 리그 티타늄을 선보입니다. 전설적인 블루 컬러를 입고, 챔피언의 정신을 품은 이 시계는 전 세계 단 100피스 리미티드 에디션으로 출시됩니다. 더 알아보기 패트릭 마홈스, 위블로의 엘리트 대열에 합류 NFL 슈퍼스타 패트릭 마홈스가 위블로의 앰버서더로 선정되어, 그의 경이로운 기록과 놀라운 업적을 하이엔드 워치 메이킹으로 선보입니다. 9월 3일, 스위스 니옹 – 대담한 디자인과 탁월한 장인정신으로 전 세계적인 사랑을 받는 스위스 럭셔리 워치메이커 위블로가 NFL 캔자스시티 치프스의 쿼터백이자 슈퍼볼 3회 우승에 빛나는 패트릭 마홈스를 브랜드 앰버서더로 새롭게 맞이합니다. 현대 스포츠계에서 가장 혁신적이고 영향력 있는 인물 중 한 명인 마홈스는 위블로가 지향하는 혁신과 탁월한 정신을 그대로 반영하며, 브랜드의 파트너십 및 타임피스 철학과 완벽한 조화를 이룹니다. 더 알아보기
