The film "King of Comedy," directed by and starring Mr. Stephen Chow, was the highest-grossing Hong Kong movie of 1999. Now, as this iconic comedy celebrates its 25th anniversary, BGM Limited—a collaboration between Bingo Group (08220) and the renowned Hong Kong tourbillon watch brand Memorigin—unveils the limited edition "King of Comedy" Tourbillon Watch. This exclusive timepiece pays homage to a cinematic classic that has spanned a quarter of a century.
"King of Comedy" narrates the story of a theater-obsessed extra, relentlessly pursuing his dreams. The watch's design draws inspiration from the film studio, featuring a dial adorned with a film reel motif, complemented by an intricately engraved movie camera showcasing the BGM logo. The hour markers are ingeniously crafted in the shape of studio spotlights, while the hands echo the iconic black-and-white clapperboard, enhancing the watch’s cinematic theme. The skeleton dial reveals the intricate workings of hundreds of movement components, symbolizing how a film masterpiece is brought to life through the tireless efforts of both those in front of and behind the camera.
The watch is equipped with a meticulously crafted tourbillon movement, comprising 155 components and 18 jewels, offering a 40-hour power reserve with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Positioned at 6 o'clock, the continuously rotating tourbillon serves as a reminder for all dream-chasers to cherish time and strive relentlessly toward their goals.
Available in three exquisite color options—silver, rose gold, and black—each color is limited to just 25 pieces, catering to the diverse tastes of wearers. Additionally, every customer who purchases the watch will receive an exclusive, specially designed clapperboard with Mr. Stephen Chow's autograph, making it a truly collectible item.
