Those RMs are a tough act to follow but a nice segue to a question I’m sure many of you fellow tourbillon lovers have often pondered: “Why aren’t there any tourbillon @ 3 o’clock watches, gen or even fantasy reps?” Well, the simple answer is that’s the traditional position of the crown and winding mechanisms of most watches. Still, one would think it’s shouldn’t be hard to move the crown to a destro or bullhead position to make space for a tourbillon. However and for some inexplicable reason(s) none of the big watchmakers have hit upon the idea yet.
Recently, I got a PM from a new member complimenting my tourbillon collection and also suggesting that I take a look at Memorigin - a tourbillon watchmaker based in Hong Kong. I did, and what I discovered was totally mind blowing. This new kid on the block does make really nice tourbillons @ 3 o’clock watches! And at a price that’s relatively affordable too.
Of course, I just had to get me one! I think it’s only honorable and fitting that I share the first picture of my latest acquisition with my fellow tourbillon club members:
Please excuse the poor lighting. I’ll try to do a better pictorial in a few days. Meanwhile, this video shows it much better:
This is a Masterpiece! An absolute dream watch! Do you know the price? But they don't have it in stock anymore I think, because I didn't see exactly this wathc on their page.
