Congratulations to Grace Lau on Seven Consecutive Titles Across Seasons

Congratulations to Hong Kong’s world No. 1 female kata athlete, Grace Lau, on capturing the gold medal at the K1 Premier League Rabat. This remarkable victory marks her seventh consecutive championship across seasons.

We previously collaborated with Grace Lau and her renowned training partner, U.S. karateka Ariel Torres, to create the Peak-Zone Tourbillon Watch—a tribute to the enduring spirit of karate.

This exceptional timepiece is available in two versions:

The Peak – Featuring a PVD-coated black stainless steel case, it symbolizes the relentless pursuit of peak performance.

The Zone – Encased in rose gold-plated stainless steel, symbolizing the peak competitive state and transcendent performance.

Every path to greatness is paved with unyielding dedication and countless hours of training. Grace and Ariel hope this timepiece will serve as a lasting reminder—to cherish every moment, stay committed to daily practice, and pursue one’s goals and dreams with unwavering determination.

As full-time athletes who devote most of their time to training in the dojo, Grace and Ariel infused the design with rich elements drawn from karate culture. The outer dial is adorned with intricate wood-grain engravings, complemented by tatami-inspired textures and karate belt motifs. Five gemstone-set hour markers in blue, yellow, black, green, and red symbolize the ultimate ambition of every athlete—the pursuit of excellence on the world stage and the indomitable spirit that brings honor to their nations.

The watch is equipped with both a day/night indicator and a power reserve display. Grace particularly fond of the day/night indicator, sharing, "Each day, we step into the dojo greeted by the morning sun, and by the time we finish training, night has fallen. The indicator is purposefully crafted in gold, symbolizing our unwavering pursuit of gold medals through relentless dedication." Adding to its inspirational essence, Ariel’s personal mantra, "Let’s make it happen," is engraved on the timepiece, serving as a daily reminder to pursue one’s goals with positivity and determination.

The power reserve indicator features a scale motif, representing the equilibrium essential in karate—balancing strength, speed, rhythm, and grace. This philosophy extends beyond sports; athletes must also find balance in life, navigating victories, defeats, and challenges with resilience. Through this timepiece, Grace and Ariel encourage wearers to embrace harmony between mind, body, and spirit—even amidst the demands of a busy life.

The watch is also equipped with a tourbillon movement composed of 193 subassembly modules and 27 jewels, delivering an 80-hour power reserve while operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour—ensuring exceptional precision and stability. The tourbillon at 6 o’clock stands as a testament to the pinnacle of watchmaking craftsmanship, mirroring the spirit of athletes who continually push their limits in pursuit of excellence. More than just a fashion accessory, the Peak-Zone Tourbillon stands as a tribute to the resilience, perseverance, and unwavering focus of karate athletes, capturing the very essence of dedication and mastery.

Memorigin extends its heartfelt best wishes to Grace Lau and Ariel Torres, wishing them continued success and further outstanding achievements in their upcoming competitions.
