INTRODUCTION
Your MP-15 is the first Hublot watch in a limited series equipped with a
central flying tourbillon, different from anything the Manufacture has
produced over 40 years. Hublot merges case, movement, and dial into an
exceptional composition. To maximize the luminous character of its MP-15,
Hublot has worked on absolute transparency: sapphire case, sapphire back,
sapphire crown, translucent flange and strap. Surrounding this are the iconic
motifs of Takashi Murakami — a flower with 12 petals, all executed in
sapphire.
This central tourbillon is powered by an impressive power reserve of at least
120 hours or nearly an entire week — an exceptional technical feat for this
type of complication. For fully winding it up again, Hublot designed a stylus
specifically dedicated to this purpose. Provided with the piece for which it
was specially conceived and rechargeable via USB, it attaches to the crown to
then wind it smoothly and effortlessly for 100 rotations until full winding of
both barrels that animate the central tourbillon.
Encircling this central tourbillon are hour and minute hands displayed by two
hand tips; they are not centered but peripheral instead. The technical
challenge: they literally pass under the cage of the tourbillon defying basic
principles of traditional horological science. Here at this singular central
spot compete the escapement along with hour and minute hands for dominance.
Hublot has also designed its tourbillon without an upper bridge; all its
components are skeletonized.

WINDING This function accumulates the energy required by your watch to run
properly. USE Manual winding and power-reserve Your Hublot MP-15 TAKASHI
MURAKAMI TOURBILLON watch is equipped with a manual-winding tourbillon
movement and offers a power reserve of at least 120 hours, which is nearly an
entire week. For the proper functioning of the watch, it is recommended to
wind it every 5 days. This can be done manually by turning the crown clockwise
until you feel a slight resistance at the end of winding. Alternatively, you
can use the provided PC.915.UX tool by fitting it onto the crown’s end and
then pressing button A; the tool will then wind the crown until both barrels
are fully wound, which animate the central tourbillon. A complete winding is
equivalent to 105 turns of the crown. To perform this winding operation,
ensure that the crown is in position 0.

operation. However, a limited international warranty covers your Hublot watch
against any manufacturing defects (the «Limited Warranty»), for two (2) years

RECOMMENDATIONS & CARE
The constituent parts of your Hublot watch are all of the finest quality and
inspected under extremely stringent criteria. They combine to form a piece
with exceptional water resistance. To preserve these qualities, we recommend a
complete overhaul every 3 to 5 years, since temperature variations, humidity,
perspiration and repeated shocks may affect its water resistance as the years
go by. With its water-resistant case and rubber, your Hublot watch can be
washed easily. Clean it regularly in lukewarm soapy water, rinsing and wiping
down carefully with a soft cloth. After wearing your Hublot watch in seawater,
please rinse it in fresh water.
