Zodiac Series - Pig
Posted by Memorigin on
Year of "Pig" marks the end of a complete rotation cycle of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. From the evolution of the Chinese character, the Chinese word "home" is the meaning of the pig. In a traditional society, raising a pig at home is considered as a complete "home". At the same time, pigs represent wealth, and the meaning of “Wish your Home be filled with Riches and Opulence” which is very good symbol in Chinese tradition.
Memorigin, the Hong Kong tourbillon brand, launched the Zodiac series for the ninth consecutive year. In 2019, the Pig tourbillon watch was launched. The skeleton dial is built with the embossing technique that the brand has always been good at. At 12 o'clock position, it is a cute and huge Chinese-style paper-cut Pig sculpture. Its body shape is round and full, represents blessings and wealth. On both sides of the pig is the traditional door decorated with noble sub-pattern. The sub-pattern is a sublime architectural pattern in ancient times, symbolizes blessings and good fortune. At the 6 o'clock position, the tourbillon is decorated with countless gold ingots and gold coins. The rotation of the tourbillon symbolizes profits pouring in from all sides. Wealth is also brought into the home with the "Pig"!
The watch is gilded with a gold-plated dial which is complemented by a rose gold-plated case and a brown Alligator strap. At the same time, the dazzling rubies are used as time indexes, and the auspicious cloud pattern is used as a decoration to highlight the design concept. In addition to the numerous auspicious elements in the watch, the brand also selected a movement with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, coupled with 40 hours power reserve.
