Takashi Murakami to Release Collection of 13 NFTs Linked to Physical Hublot Watches

Takashi Murakami, a Japanese artist, has collaborated with Swiss luxury timepiece Hublot to create a new range of real-world watches tied to non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The new collection, Hublot and Murakami's fourth artistic collaboration, includes 13 distinct NFTs inspired by Japanese video games and 1970s television episodes. Furthermore, the NFTs are based on the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black watch, which was released in January 2021.

The NFTs are linked to 13 real watches that will be unveiled in April at the Watches & Wonders 2023 trade exhibition in Geneva. Each digital duplicate comes in a different rainbow color and has Murakami's distinctive smiling flower logo.

Twelve of the thirteen clocks will be available exclusively to collectors who acquired one of the 324 Murakami and Hublot NFTs produced in April 2022.

The Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow watch, which was unveiled at an event in New York on Thursday, includes a spinning flower decorated with rubies, sapphires, amethysts, tsavorites, and topaz.

The 12 NFTs are available for resale on OpenSea until April 2024. If a collector purchases all 12 NFTs, they will be eligible for the coveted Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow watch. If no collector obtains all 12 NFTs, the watch will be auctioned off by Hublot to generate funds for charity.

Murakami has been associated with NFTs since the March 2021 release of his Murakami Flowers collection. He collaborated with Nike-owned digital wearables firm RTFKT in November 2021 to release a special collection with their avatar NFT project CloneX. Murakami also collaborated with Nike on a Cryptokicks NFT sneaker that sold for 45 ETH, or around $134,000.
