A New Form of Artistic Expression
The thirteen upcoming unique NFTs will be inspired by Japanese video games and TV shows from the 1970s as well as the “Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black.”
Takashi Murakami, shared,
"When my collaboration with Hublot was announced, we made it known that we would be adopting new forms of artistic expression. After creating all the timepieces together, as well as the digital works of art, we are now imagining new ways of accessing contemporary art."
The first collaborative project between the Swiss watchmaker and the artist launched in January 2021. The new NFTs will be linked to a limited edition of 13 unique Classic Fusion watches that Hublot will showcase at Watches and Wonders 2023, held in Geneva.
Twelve of these luxury watches will be available exclusively online on the luxury watchmaker’s website. Interestingly, the online auction can only be accessed by owners of at least one of the 324 NFTs issued in April 2022 as part of the third collaboration between the watchmaker and artist duo.
The 324 NFTs were originally offered to owners of one of those Hublot X Takashi Murakami watch models, “Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Back” and “Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow,” before they were auctioned off at OpenSea.
Hublot has shared that it will allow anyone interested in the upcoming watch collection to collect one of the NFTs available on OpenSea until sales commence in Geneva in early April this year. Each buyer gains a chance to purchase one of the 12 new watches and will receive a corresponding exclusive NFT.
The 13th watch of the collection, “Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow,” was recently unveiled in New York. The watch takes inspiration from the two previously launched pieces and reinterprets the ionic Takashi Murakami emblem, the smiling flower.
The 12 petals of the smiling flower will don various gems like rubies, sapphires, amethysts, tsavorites, and topaz. Moreover, Hublot’s engineers have also introduced their innovative ball-bearing system to the petals, adding to the experience.
To add spice to the collaboration, collections will have one year to trade the twelve NFTs on the OpenSea platform. By April 2024, a collector who has managed to collect all 12 of the new unique NFTs will be eligible to purchase the thirteenth timepiece, the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow.
If no collector has managed to gather all twelve NFTs, the watch will be auctioned by Hublot to raise funds for charity.

Tại sao bạn nên quan tâm
Takashi Murakami chắc chắn là một trong những nghệ sĩ đương đại nổi tiếng nhất trong thế giới hiện đại. Tên của nghệ sĩ Nhật Bản là khắp nơi trên nền văn hóa pop, xuất hiện trong Fashion Shows, TV Shows, Rap Lyrics, và nhiều hơn nữa.
Sự nổi tiếng của nghệ sĩ có thể mang lại sự công khai tích cực cho không gian NFT, đặc biệt là nghệ thuật NFT. Sự hợp tác chung với một trong những nhà sản xuất đồng hồ hàng đầu trên thế giới là một vấn đề lớn đối với không gian web3.
