We are excited to share our efforts with all of you. Ariel has named these watches “THE PEAK-ZONE.”
Grace and Ariel have officially launched their first tourbillon watch in collaboration with Memorigin, inspired by their journey to the Olympics. They continue to train diligently after the Olympics in pursuit of their personal bests. Most importantly, they emphasize the significance of remembering their initial intention behind practicing karate.
Grace spent months designing this watch alongside Ariel, incorporating sapphires, yellow diamonds, black diamonds, emeralds, and rubies to symbolize their remarkable experiences at the Olympics.
The design of the watch’s ring is inspired by the pattern of the wooden floor and the arch of tatami used in karate.
The scale on the left-hand side represents the balance of karate—power and grace—while also serving as a reminder of the importance of work-life balance.
The golden day/night indicator draws inspiration from their training sessions in Miami. In the early mornings when they begin training, the moon is still visible; by the time they complete their first session, the sun has risen. As they finish their last training of the day, they once again see the moon—a continuous cycle. Above the day/night indicator, the phrase “Let’s make it happen” is engraved, a nod to Ariel’s mantra: "If you know, you know!"
We have designed two variations of this watch: a rose gold model with red hour markers and a black/silver version with blue hour markers, both crafted as unisex pieces.
On the back of the watch, there is an option to engrave up to 10 alphanumeric characters and 5 Chinese characters, allowing for a personal touch.
