Equestrian Tourbillon
Posted by Memorigin on
The 17-year-old international dressage rider
for Great Britain, Gemma Owen, is the eldest daughter of former England striker,
Michael Owen. She inherited the love of equestrianism and aesthetics from her father.
Following the launch of the football-themed “MICHAE10WEN Goals of a Legend
Series Tourbillon” in 2019 by her father and Memorigin, Gemma also collaborated
with the Hong Kong tourbillon watch brand this year on the “Equestrian Tourbillon”
with dressage as the inspiration.
The silhouette of the horse is integrated into the skeletal dial design. A British flag is
added to emphasize Gemma’s identity as a national athlete. The precise operation of
the watch components behind the silhouette has this great charisma that you cannot
take your eyes off it. While the complicated tourbillon is an art of watchmaking, a

blend of classical equestrian sport and competitive performances which requires riders
and horses to memorize a series of predetermined movements also makes dressage an
art in riding.
Dressage is also known as “horse ballet”, which comes with an alluring elegance.
Therefore, the “Equestrian Tourbillon” has noble rose gold as its color tone. Black
and brown diamonds are embedded all over the bezel, highlighting the athletic
charisma of Gemma. Recently Gemma took pictures with her beloved horse, Sirius
Black. Gemma wears all-black with the “Equestrian Tourbillon”. The watch is
particularly dazzling under the contrast of the black outfit and the well-matched reins
of Sirius.
Memorigin has selected a tourbillon movement with a 40-hour power reserve for this
watch. The central balance wheel swings in a frequency of 28,800 oscillations per
hour. The high accuracy turns the “Equestrian Tourbillon” a professional and stable
timepiece that even Gemma is amazed at.
Moreover, the diamond-embedded bezel can be taken out to become a glittering
pendant. A leather necklace comes with each watch which makes it more than just an
accessory on the wrist.
