The Hong Kong tourbillon brand, Memorigin, which was committed to promoting Chinese culture, collaborated with Mr. Jacob Wong, a Taoist master from the A-Ma Foundation of Macau, integrating philosophy into exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship, and launched the "Tao Union" Tourbillon watch. Jacob Wong elaborated on the hidden meaning within the tourbillon watch design using the phrase: “When chaos becomes clear, Yin and Yang are obviously divided. Stars fly by in seconds. Turns things around with the source of all wishes (Memorigin).”
The Tao Union Tourbillon watch ingeniously integrated the concept of the Eight Trigrams of the I Ching. The skeleton dial showcased intricate craftsmanship, reminiscent of the birth of harmony. With the Tai Chi symbol as its foundation, it represented the idea of balance in the universe with the great ultimate and two forces. The seal scripts of the 28 mansions of the Chinese constellations on the watch frame demonstrated the message of unity of heaven and humanity. The tourbillon movement at the six o'clock position, rotating at the bottom of the trigram, symbolized seizing opportunities at every moment, becoming the source of all hopes, and constantly “turning things around with the source of all wishes.”
This watch, with a diameter of only 43 millimeters, is equipped with a tourbillon movement composed of 155 components and 18 jewels, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 40 hours, embodying profound philosophy. The Tao Union Tourbillon watch isn't just a tourbillon with a century-old tradition. You will witness time and feel the universe's harmony with it, but it's also a classic of wisdom, aiding you in discerning between darkness and brightness. Thus, traditions and mysteries can be comprehended and carried forward.
