The Storm Show Series
Posted by Memorigin on
The Storm is a comic series that first appeared in 1989. It is one of the most popular work of the famous comic artist, Ma Wing-shing. The story was adapted into movies, TV series, mobile game, and radio drama etc., and they were all great hits in Hong Kong. The famous producer, Florence Chan, has decided to work wih Ma Wing-shing to put The Storm on stage. They have gathered the best actors and actresses to produce The Storm in musical form. Releasing in 2017, The Storm Show 5D will become another legend in the Hong Kong musical history.
To celebrate the release of The Storm Show 5D, Memorigin specially created the Storm Show Series tourbillon watch. There is an exquisite embossment of “The Storm Show 5D” logo designed by Mr. Alan Chan. The design and the production of the watch is monitored by Mr. Ma Wing-shing. The blade-shape minute hand and the sword-shape hour hand bring out the power of the watch in a simple design. Mr. Alan Chan is very satisfied with his logo design, and he invites the young calligrapher, the Inkless, to write for his logo, turning the Chinese harmony concept into tangible words. The logo is a merge of masculine and gentleness, so it represents the image of the two main characters, the Cloud and the Wind, in the comic. The craftsmen of Memorigin have handled the logo embossment with extra care so as to perfectly carve the artistic logo on the dial. There are 9 black diamonds that matches well with the tone as indices. Furthermore, they have to avoid damaging the components of the tourbillon and get a balance between the tourbillon operation and the design of the dial.
Talking about the story of The Storm, the world in the comic is very fascinating. The different parties, martial arts and equipment have been one of the most attracting parts to the readers. The small sword model that was given out as gift with the comics years ago has been one of the most popular collections until now. Therefore, Memorigin uses a blade as the concept of minute hand and a sword as hour hand to project the memories through the watch.
Memorigin specially chooses a tourbillon movement with 40-hour power reserve and rotation in a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The dial is skeletal that the collectors can appreciate the delicate craftsmanship of the tourbillon and the operation of the components. The series has two color options, PVD black and stainless-steel. Each version is limited to 50 pieces, a The Storm statue will be given as gift for the purchase of each watch.
