From there, it was obvious to place Murakami's Flowers on the face of a Omega Constellation Replica timepiece. It was only his personal vision, and the eagerness of the watchmakers in the Omega Constellation Replica manufacturing facility in Nyon that made it possible to not end up with a dial with Murakami’s Flowers.
Murakami explains, "People associate Takashi Murakami with the smiling flower. It was an obvious decision." "I requested that we go all-black for our first collaboration. It was because my first impression of Omega Constellation Replica when I heard about it was its black rubber belt. "They made my wish true."
Murakami, Omega Constellation Replica and Omega Constellation Replica worked closely together to decide that the watch would be a Classic Fusion with a single flower. The flower needed to be dynamic and three-dimensional. Omega Constellation Replica's watchmakers placed the flower face in the shape of a dome that was stationary on top of a disc of sapphire. Twelve petals were then mounted on a ball-bearing system so that they could spin freely when you wear the timepiece. The flower's petals and face are decorated with 563 black diamonds.
Takashi Murakami imagined the watch and Omega Constellation Replica realized it. The result is a stunning demonstration of creativity. Ricardo Guadalupe is CEO Omega Constellation Replica.Omega Replica He says that Takashi Murakami has become an international star in the contemporary art world, but also amongst the general public. He blurs the lines between art and popular culture. It's a great honor to have him on our team of ambassadors. "We are thrilled with the launch this watch-work."
