MEMORIGIN
EVOLVING BUTTERFLY
With its mother-of-pearl dial and
sculptural detail, the Memorigin Evolving
Butterfly vividly tells a story of
transformation even as it shows the time
of day.
Designed by Jin Ling, a former
Christie’s auction expert recently named
as the ‘best auctioneer in China,’ the
Memorigin Evolving Butterfly is a
colorful, visual analogy. With hand-
detailed craftsmanship, the dial on this
43mm gold watch recalls how a young girl
grows to become a lady by picturing a
detailed transformation of a caterpillar
becoming a butterfly.
With mother-of-pearl dial, gold hands,
a gold-plated 43mm case and the sparkle
of 359 diamonds on a two-layer bezel, the
Evolving Butterfly is an evocative artistic
display offset with an in-house
one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
It’s another example of Memorigin’s
dedication to merging watchmaking with
strong Hong Kong characters and stories.
The Evolving Butterfly, is offered in
blue or pink dials. Price: $19,699.
