The mysterious power of tarot remains a hot discussion topic among occultists, but for sure it makes tarot cards one of the most popular divination practices. The illustrated decks include various astrological symbols and Greek mythological figures, conveying Western philosophical and cultural meanings in allegories. As the interpretation seems esoteric, professional tarot readers would familiarize themselves with the cards and understand deeply how the cards interact. They then divine information from the cards about the clients’ circumstances and help guide them in future choices. The Hong Kong tourbillon brand Memorigin has collaborated with the practitioner Alice Choi, who has 21 years of experience in tarot reading, on launching the Tarot Series – Wheel of Fortune tourbillon watch. The design features the most symbolic card in the deck, incorporating the secrets of fortune in a timepiece.
Being the only Major Arcana card without a human character, the Wheel of Fortune is special because it signifies the ever-changing nature of destiny. The brand has transformed the signs on the card into metal relief sculptures on the skeleton dial. A giant wheel lies on the 12 o’clock position. Four winged creatures are embossed on either side of the dial, each of which represents a zodiac sign. In clockwise order, they are the eagle (Scorpio), the lion (Leo), the bull (Taurus), and the angel (Aquarius). They are also associated with the alchemical elements: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. The books on the creatures' hands are the Torah which dispenses wisdom and inspires self-understanding. The day/night indicator at 3 o’clock and the power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock are respectively decorated with the Sphinx and the Egyptian God of the underworld Anubis. The former is a symbol of equilibrium while the latter represents rebirth. The delicate craftsmanship has further given a boost to their strong presence and vividness. The tourbillon at the bottom is well-suited for highlighting the circle of life as indicated by the Wheel of Fortune. Life is full of unpredictable changes and challenges. As long as you seize the opportunities and persevere despite obstacles, the natural ups and downs can create infinite miracles ahead.
The Tarot Series – Wheel of Fortune tourbillon watch is available in two colors: the men’s watch comes with a timeless black case and alligator strap to go against the sacred rose-gold-plated dial; the ladies’ version features an elegant rose-gold-plated case and a mysterious purple silk strap. Memorigin has selected a tourbillon movement with 80 hours of power reserve and a vibration frequency of 28,800 oscillations per hour, stabilizing the timekeeping function in the constantly changing environment. The watch can always be a guiding tool in your life journey with its physical and magical power.
Customers who have purchased the Tarot Series – Wheel of Fortune tourbillon watch can enjoy a free divination session of tarot reading from Alice. In the service, Alice will answer one open-ended question and one follow-up question based on the drawn cards in the card spread.
