HONG KONG, Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Memorigin, the Hong Kong Tourbillon watch brand has always been concerning on sports activities. In 2016, Memorigin collaborated with Hong Kong's famous snooker "Magic Boy" Mr. Marco Fu to design a special themed tourbillon watch to promote the spirit of Hong Kong and the snooker. Marco received laser surgery earlier this year due to retinal degeneration in December 2017. After many months of recuperation, although still affected by the floaters, he returned to participate in various events, to face the disease with an optimistic attitude and simply enjoy the game. This year, Marco had become a professional snooker for his 20th anniversary. Though the ups and downs of life, he designed the "Marco Fu's 20th Anniversary Tourbillon Series". In addition to creating a milestone for his 20-year professional career, he reminded himself about his original intention and continues to pursue the dream of snooker.
Memorign and Marco will also donate some of the profit to the NGO charity "Make- A - Wish Hong Kong" which was also set up in its 20th anniversary that makes this cooperation more meaningful. On the watch launch event, Mr. William Shum, the CEO of Memorigin and Mr. Karson Choi, the chairman of the Halewinner Watches Group hosted the kick-off ceremony. Marco granted the wishes of three children with illnesses, to teach them the snooker skills, and to make their lives in full of hope, strength and happiness. Mr. Jimmy Tang, the CEO of Prince Jewellery & Watch; Miss Jin Ling, the first "Gold Mallet Award" auctioneer in China; Mr. Wong You Nam, the artist; Miss Jacquelin Ch'ng, the actress; Miss Christine Au-Yeung, the super model and Mr. John Fung, the magician came to the event to witness this important moment.
About the design of the watch, different from the last barrel design, the round-shaped case with a slanted angle cut decorating with white and black diamonds was designed. It was inspired by the white ball (cue ball) in the snooker, and the highest score (7 degrees) of black balls. The classic black and white tone is creating simplicity and fashion. Through the semi-skeleton dial, you can clearly see the precise operation of the watch with the Roman numeral time index which is in elegant gentleman style. It does not appear to have much snooker elements on the dial of the watch, but having a closer look at it. You will have reveal surprises!
Another highlight of the watch is the pearl seconds scale placed at 8 o'clock position. On the Akoya pearl, the words "MF" by Marco Fu are engraved with the tourbillon at 6 o'clock position. The white pearl that like the white ball hit by a snooker player is ready to hit all the balls on the table into the hole. The tourbillon watch is known for its extreme precision. The flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock position represents the athletes who have always practiced and broken though themselves in order to improve their skills. At the same time, it also symbolizes Marco's enthusiasm and the pursuit of snooker is endless. The words "XX ANNIVERSARY" are engraved at the 12 o'clock position to make the watch more commemorative.
Memorigin is the first Hong Kong brand which only produces Tourbillon, which uses its in-house movement with its production process strictly controlled so that craftsmanship and quality are sanctioned by international professionals. Marco, who has always been pursuing perfect, has selected the tourbillon movement with a power reserve of 72 hours and a vibration frequency of 28,800 Oscillation per hour for the series. It provides manual winding or self-winding for greater flexibility for watch lovers who can feel the joy of manual winding and also the convenience of automatic winding.
The "Marco Fu's 20th Anniversary Tourbillon Series" besides the elegant style, it also adds Hong Kong sportsmanship elements into the design, promoting the spirit of sports. In additions, Memorigin has a unique word carving technology: words can be engraved on the movement and can be preserved forever that the watch becomes unique and memorable.
