Takashi Murakami Launches Time Objects, His Own Watch Brand
Takashi Murakami has launched Time Objects, a watch brand devoted to exploring time through Swiss haute horlogerie. Its first creation, the Skull Flowers Cylindrical Jumping Hours Tourbillon, combines a Grade 5 titanium skull case with Murakami’s rotating flower motifs, while displaying the hours on a cylinder and the minutes on a trailing disc. The watch is powered by the hand-wound KM 7012 TM calibre, featuring a tourbillon and a 125-hour power reserve. It comes in five versions, including two editions limited to 12 pieces and three gem-set variants, with prices ranging from CHF 85,000 to CHF 148,000 before taxes.
