Memorigin Tourbillions
Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this post, if not please advise.
Anyways, owning a tourbilloin would be every Watch collectors dream. But sadly not all of us would be able to achieve this.
So there are new Brands offering a more affordable price for all to experience having one.
Have a few questions:
- what would be the difference of a branded tourbillion to a cheaper one?
- is the value of the cheaper one will be just a waste of hard warn money?
- is the craftsmanship any good for the cheaper ones?
-will be worth spending your money for one?
- etc... Please feel free if you have other questions in mind...
One brand I am looking at is the Memorigin , it is a Hong Kong based company which specialize with tourbillion watches.
Here a sample of their masterpiece:

"home made"
By: DonCorson : August 30th, 2012-12:59
Not home made, but hand made. Mr. Kiu's tourbillons were really made by hand. Not industrial fabrication sterily decorated to perfection by hand. For my money that is an advantage, age old hand crafts still being made today. The sweat and soul of one man ...
