I think you mean MEMORIGIN, it uses seagull tourbillion movement if I remember correctly.

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 :)

Thanks Z!

My crappy pics really don't do it justice. The dial is beautiful.

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.

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

Never had a spot of trouble with mine. Which tourby do you own?

Thank you Philly!

You can't tell from my crappy pic but it's on a glossy, padded gen croc strap. It really goes well with the blued hands.

I came across this beauty while working my way to your new Steinhart show and tell.

This is a beautiful tourby.

I am just fascinated by the tourbillion movement.

One day, I will have one.

Your Minorva is stunning!!! :boobies2:
