yawn 122 Posted March 28, 2014 I think you mean MEMORIGIN, it uses seagull tourbillion movement if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kcore 0 Posted March 28, 2014 I believe you might be referring to Minorva. This not very well known brand is really very reasonably priced considering they are gen tourbillons. Here's mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kcore 0 Posted March 28, 2014 are you happy with your minorva? are there any other brands that do something similiar you know of? thanks in advance! I'm very, very happy with it - I absolutely love my Monorva! It's a very solid piece and it's a gen tourbillon. Not a rep. Not sure what you mean by "other brand that do something similar?" Most of the high-end gen brands ( Breguet, JLC, Piaget, AP, etc.) make tourbillons and sell for $100,000.00+ Not something most people can afford. Now I remember why this sounds familiar. You're the guy that was looking for the 1:1 Breguet. So, you're still on the quest If you haven't yet, read honeyBears Tourbillon thread. He did an excellent job and there are some comments on Perpetual. http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=16780 And here's BigDee Tourby thread http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=36615 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero_deficit 0 Posted March 28, 2014 This is a Liaoning 5010. Found in MillionSmart, Minorva, Perpetual and I think maybe TaoInternational. IMO, it's the lesser of the flying tourbillons, the other being the seagull ST80. There has been complaints about reliability in the past (as has been with other movements coming out of Liaoning), but all in all, they certainly aren't horrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
