Vorso Spinning Top
What would a spinning top designed by a jeweller look like? Probably something like this - the brass Mk1 Vorso Spinning Top.
This is a performance spinning top made for those with a playful mind, a penchant for engineering or a love of physics and science. Precision machined to spin for a long time - over ten minutes is possible!
Super easy to spin and designed with all ages and proficiencies in mind, featuring a diamond knurled grip to allow the user to impart as much torque as possible and a centre of gravity that quickly allows the top to steady and stand perfectly upright with the softest of spins.
The bearing is a laboratory grown ruby. With a near-perfect spherical shape and a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, a ruby will reduce surface friction for longer spin times and greater longevity. Ruby also adds elegance, often found in precision tools and luxury watches.
