Ted’s Take:
Well, well, well, look at Hublot getting all fancy with their new sapphire creation, the MP-15 Takashi Murakami. They’ve teamed up with the famous artist to create a watch that’s like a piece of art on your wrist. The dial and movement are intricately intertwined, sort of like when your headphones get all tangled up in your pocket. But instead of frustration, you’ll be filled with awe and wonder at the tourbillon spinning in the center. And let’s not forget about that sapphire case, shaped like a beautiful flower. It’s so transparent that even the sun can’t resist shining through it. Just make sure not to wear it to a nudist beach, or you might blind someone with all that light refraction. All in all, this watch is a true masterpiece, and if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one of the 50 limited edition pieces, you’ll be the envy of collectors everywhere.
