Memorigin × Marvel Tourbillon Watches

Memorigin × Marvel

Heroes, told in a tourbillon

Memorigin's work with Disney's Marvel began in 2015, when its Avengers tourbillons went on sale the day Age of Ultron opened. In 2020 it returned with Spider-Man, Iron Man and Thor: three watches, each drawn from what makes the hero who he is.

Spider-Man swings above the tourbillon.
His mask sits at the centre of the hands, under the rose gold emblem.

Spider-Man

On a single thread

The dial wears the red and deep blue of his suit; beneath the rose gold spider emblem, his mask quietly shows through. On a single thread, Spider-Man swings upside down above the turning tourbillon, caught mid-leap. A day-and-night disc stands for his watch over the city, which does not end at dusk.

Rose gold-plated steel · 43mm

Red and gold, the colours of the suit, from case to bracelet.
After dark, the eyes and the reactor still glow.

Iron Man

The armour, opened

Tony Stark is the engineer inside the suit, so the dial opens his chest plate and lets the movement show between the armour. His name and “The Genius” run around the bezel. The Arc Reactor that powers him shows the watch's power reserve, “Armor Up” marks day and night, and his eyes and reactor glow in the dark.

Gold-plated steel · 43mm

Black steel and red leather: armour and cape.
Mjölnir for the hour, lightning for the minute, the Avengers emblem at the centre.

Thor

God of Thunder

Thor's watch is built from his armour and his weapon. The six discs of his breastplate and his red cape shape the dial; Thor appears in relief in his comic-book form, the wings of his helmet framing the tourbillon. Mjölnir tells the hour, a lightning bolt the minute. Black PVD steel for the armour, red alligator for the cape.

The partnership

Two chapters with Marvel

2015

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Batman, Superman and Transformers had made Memorigin's hero crossovers a yearly event for collectors. After six months of confidential work, the Avengers 2 Series, Iron Man and Captain America, went on sale on 23 April 2015, the day the film opened.

2020

The Marvel Series

Five years on, Memorigin and Marvel met again, with three heroes. Iron Man and Thor come in a black wooden box bearing the Avengers emblem; Spider-Man in a blue one bearing his own.

Iron Man, 2015. Open the mask on the clasp and the bracelet adjusts by hand, no tools needed.

The heroes, in their own colours

For Age of Ultron, Memorigin moved beyond monochrome engraving and plated each hero in his own colours. Iron Man raises his palm to fire, a VVS diamond as the beam, the tourbillon turning where his heart device sits. Captain America's relief was refined by a German watchmaker over some three months, and his shield became the clasp.
