My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure. Today I have prepared a lot of new novelties for you for the summer and I believe that you will find inspiration in this at a very first sight quite simple, but also impressive fashion outfit that I have prepared for you. I believe that summer is one of the most difficult periods for all of us, because of the high temperatures, we cannot wear some of our favorite pieces due to the possibility of sweating.
Today I have prepared an everyday casual combination, which you can wear when you go to town, work, of course if you are allowed to come to your workplace in more relaxed fashion variants or if you decide to go for a quick coffee or lunch with friends. This outfit is of an everyday casual vibe with a dose of sporty elegance.
Fashion used to be very unpretentious and simple! With this sentence I begin our fashion story today in which I will introduce you to new friends of the Mr.M blog. The pieces of clothing and most of the fashion accessories that make up my outfit today come from Italy, but one fashion accessory has come a long way to Berlin and comes to us from faraway Hong Kong. It is a watch, more precisely a tourbillon watch that was made by loyal fans of precious watches that make up the team of the Memorigin brand.
To be able to continue the story of this unusual brand, I would first like to write you something more about tourbillon watches. What are these watches like, how do they work and why are they unique? Tourbillon watches are classified in a special group of watches that are characterized by “great complications”. The Tourbillon system was created in 1780 to compensate for the gravitational forces of pocket watches.
Thanks to this system, the clock mechanism rotates once a minute, reducing the differences between the gain and loss of time with respect to the position of the clock in space. The Tourbillon watch represents a top technical mastery both in the production of parts and in their assembly. This mechanism is usually seen through the dial itself.
Memorigin is a Hong Kong watch brand founded in 2011 by Mr. William Schum. The brand specializes in tourbillon watches, a mechanism that is often associated with luxury Swiss watch brands. This mechanism is produced in only a few factories around the world. The prices of watches with this mechanism range from dizzying figures with 5 or 6 numbers, depending on the brand.
The founder of the Memorigin brand decided that there is a possibility to produce a quality middle-class tourbillon, which will sell directly to the growing Chinese watch market and thus reach other world markets.
Tourbillon watches made by the Memorigin brand are unique because they combine Chinese and Western design elements. At the founding of Memorigin, Mr. Schum stated that he wanted to create watches that possessed “Swiss precision with Chinese characteristics and oriental spirit.”
Certain watch models from limited special art collections are often designed by the Memorigin brand in collaboration with well-known Hong Kong watch collectors. Memorigin has always shown interest in becoming a custom-made watch brand, not a mass-produced one.
The model that complemented my outfit today is the Memorigin watch from the special collection “Time Machine Series“. This model is adorned with a timeless gold-plated rose steel case with a white dial without much detail, nurturing the aesthetics of simplicity and elegance. A luxurious crocodile bracelet emphasizes the elegance of this unusual watch. This watch is an interesting masterpiece, made for all lovers of true beauty and aesthetics that support the “laws of elegance”.
The designer of this exceptional collection of watches is Mark Lui, a watchmaker who believes that precision in time is the only gift that only people who are active in creating their own time can understand. Memorigin brand has really tried to bring every detail to perfection, such as work on smaller dials, the color of the crown, which has a specific design so that people with different tastes understand the value of time in their own unique way. The guiding idea for the creator of this amazing collection was one simple sentence: “Only time has the same value for different people.”
For all additional information and news about Memorigin watches, you can follow them on their official Facebook page and Instagram profile.
Since we started today with the details, I will continue in that way and I will introduce you to my new friend with whom I hang out on the streets of Berlin and who helps me bring all the necessary things, such as a camera, laptop, chargers because I never know when from the battery failed. When you carry a lot of things with you every day, the most important thing is the quality and practicality of leather goods.
The Gasparroni family tradition began in 1960, with the production of craft suitcases made of leather. By improving production, they have developed their production program and their offer has been enriched with various stylistic and design models that have enabled the company to successfully approach international markets, especially Japan, and gain a unique reputation as a global brand.
StefanomanO is a family Italian brand of leather goods, mostly men’s and women’s bags and small leather goods. The brand was founded in 2005, with the special goal of carefully choosing a product handmade in Italy and expressing contemporary style in a classic and informal designed for the customer who cares about details, but also who does not give up comfort and quality. with an always refined and unique style.
This brand continuously conducts market research and modernization of production with the aim of creating bags with a high degree of functionality, light weight and extremely practical, spacious. The use of the finest leather and traditional craft tradition are a special feature of StefanomanO products and rank them among the most valued and original on the market.
The backpack you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is made of recycled navy blue leather, extremely soft to the touch with spacious compartments for all types of laptops and tablets. This model is practical and very light, great for all people who have to carry backpacks every day.
For all additional information and news about StefanomanO leather goods, you can follow them on their official Facebook page and Instagram profile.
Of course, my outfit today is made of pieces from the new collection of the Italian brand SVEVO Parma, which you had the opportunity to see in some of the previous posts. If you want to be reminded of the stories of this amazing brand, read one of my previous fashion stories at this link and I am sure you will be as thrilled as I am!
The T-shirt is made of the highest quality and specially processed cotton, which is additionally softened, so you have the feeling that you are wearing some other fine material. The T-shirt is a beautiful shade of red with a special work that makes this outfit more elegant.
I would like to remind you that during the weaving phase, SVEVO brand makes very small holes on the back of each T-shirt, the number of holes depend on the size, starting with 1 hole for size 46. Authentic trademark, which despite use and loss of all labels guarantees that the piece you wear is original and made by the SVEVO Parma brand.
You had the opportunity to see the SVEVO Parma jogging trousers in one of the previous posts, but they also fit perfectly with this outfit.
The season of seasonal sales has started and I believe that you can find some great pieces for yourself from the rich offer of the SVEVO brand, which was prepared for us this summer by Mr. Mario Somma and Ms. Vittoria Somma.
Since the whole outfit was in a certain everyday casual street style vibe, I decided to wear my new Louis Leeman python sneakers. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the white color goes great with my summer colors in the wardrobe. Louis Leeman is an Italian brand that conquered the fashion scene in a short time and managed to take a high position in the world of fashion.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this special post where we discovered some incredible brands from Hong Kong and Italy! How did you like my outfit today? Have you found some inspiration for some of yours great summer outfit in red – navy color?
I really tried to prepare today’s post with a lot of love and I hope you will like it! See you in a couple of days with some new interesting story!
I advise you from the bottom of my heart to listen to my advice due to the current unfavorable health situation in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and encourage crowding.
The process of vaccinating the population in Germany has begun and I believe that the situation will soon improve and that our lives will return to normal soon!
If you have a question, comment, suggestion or message for me, you can write me down in the comments. Of course, as always you can contact me via mail or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT ME page. Stay tuned!
With love from Berlin,
Mr.M
This post is sponsored by SVEVO PARMA, StefanomanO, Memorigin and Louis Leeman brands and represents my personal and honest review of their products.
Die Uhr ist wirklich gut! Ist es möglich, dass eine Tourbillon-Uhr nur 6000 Euro kostet?! Alle mir bekannten Tourbillon-Uhren kosten über 40-50.000 Euro, manche Preise gehen also über eine Million Euro…
Marko, your outfit is wonderful! I love the color red and I love the details! It’s not true that an outfit is simple, a watch is a masterpiece, python sneakers with metal are a lot of “ordinary” things! The backpack is beautiful, I can feel the softness of the leather that is felt over the picture. I just always follow your blog, I get various ideas for my outfits and you help me with shopping, so at least I can sometimes buy something nice on sale when I see an interesting piece on you! Thanks to you I was able… Read more »
You look stunning! The watch is really unusual and fantastic, what are its other functions besides the dial? I see that this is serious work!

Hello Marko, this summer look proves that simplicity done well always wins. What caught my eye, naturally, was the Memorigin on your wrist, because a tourbillon worn casually on the streets of Berlin is not something one sees every day. I appreciate that you took the time to explain the tourbillon as a “great complication” rather than just calling it fancy. The contrast of that rose-toned case against the red SVEVO polo is quietly striking. A lovely, unpretentious piece of styling.
Caro Marko, che piacere ritrovare Memorigin sul tuo blog in versione estiva. Mi affascina sempre ricordare che il tourbillon nacque nel 1780 per compensare la forza di gravità sugli orologi da tasca, e vederlo oggi al polso ha qualcosa di poetico. Apprezzo molto che William Schum abbia voluto rendere questa complicazione più accessibile, senza arrivare alle cifre da capogiro delle grandi case svizzere. Il quadrante bianco essenziale con il cinturino in coccodrillo è di un’eleganza misurata che condivido pienamente. Complimenti per il gusto con cui lo abbini a un look così rilassato.
Lieber Marko, herzliche Grüße aus Berlin, wo ich deine sommerlichen Aufnahmen sofort wiedererkannt habe. Es freut mich, dass eine Uhr aus dem fernen Hongkong so selbstverständlich zu einem lässigen Berliner Outfit passt, ohne den Anspruch an echte Uhrmacherkunst aufzugeben. Das schlichte weiße Zifferblatt wirkt zu den roten und marineblauen Tönen sehr harmonisch. Ein wirklich gelungener Beitrag mit Stil.
Bonjour Marko, j’aime beaucoup la cohérence de cette tenue estivale. Le choix d’une Memorigin me semble particulièrement judicieux, car porter un tourbillon de manière décontractée demande une vraie assurance. J’apprécie que vous rappeliez que cette maison de Hong Kong, fondée en 2011, souhaite rester un atelier sur mesure plutôt qu’une production de masse. Le boîtier acier plaqué or rose avec son cadran blanc épuré respire la sobriété. Bravo pour cette belle leçon d’élégance sans ostentation.
Dear Marko, as a longtime admirer of mechanical watches I read this post twice. The idea that Memorigin offers a genuine tourbillon at a far more attainable level than the Swiss houses is exactly the kind of thing that excites enthusiasts like me. I currently wear a Maurice Lacroix with a simple automatic movement, so a hand-finished tourbillon feels like another world entirely. May I ask whether the tourbillon cage is clearly visible through the dial in daylight, or do you need good light to truly appreciate it? Your honest impression would mean a lot before I look into the… Read more »
Hola Marko, me ha encantado esta combinación veraniega en rojo y azul marino. Reconozco que lo que más me atrajo fue el reloj, porque un tourbillón siempre representa la cúspide de la relojería. Me parece fascinante que Memorigin naciera en Hong Kong con la idea de unir la precisión suiza con un espíritu oriental. La camiseta roja de SVEVO Parma aporta justo el punto de color que necesitaba el conjunto. Un saludo cordial y gracias por descubrirnos marcas tan singulares.
Beste Marko, wat een verfrissend zomers beeld heb je hier neergezet. Het horloge trekt meteen de aandacht, en ik vind het knap dat een tourbillon, dat eens per minuut ronddraait om de zwaartekracht te compenseren, zo natuurlijk bij een ontspannen streetstyle past. De roségoudkleurige kast met de rustige witte wijzerplaat oogt verfijnd zonder opdringerig te zijn. Bedankt voor dit inspirerende verhaal uit Berlijn.
Marko, there is a real art to making a complicated watch look effortless, and you have managed it here. Most people associate a tourbillon strictly with black tie, yet you have placed it alongside a polo shirt and trainers without it feeling out of place. I was also pleased to learn that Memorigin collaborates with Hong Kong collectors on its limited art pieces, which speaks to a genuine horological culture rather than mere marketing. The understated white dial is the right choice for a watch that already has so much going on beneath it. It is the sort of piece… Read more »
Drogi Marku, od lat z przyjemnością śledzę twoje wpisy o zegarkach. Memorigin to dla mnie prawdziwe odkrycie, ponieważ tourbillon należy do tak zwanych wielkich komplikacji, a tutaj staje się znacznie bardziej osiągalny niż u szwajcarskich gigantów. Bardzo podoba mi się filozofia projektanta Marka Lui, że tylko czas ma jednakową wartość dla różnych ludzi. Zestawienie hongkońskiej precyzji z włoskimi dodatkami w twoim letnim wydaniu wygląda naprawdę spójnie. Dziękuję, że pokazujesz marki, o których inaczej bym nie usłyszał.
Caro Marko, mais uma vez ofereces uma leitura agradável e cheia de detalhes. Confesso que comprei a minha primeira camisola da SVEVO Parma depois de ler uma das tuas histórias, e a qualidade do algodão deles é realmente notável. Ver agora o polo vermelho combinado com um tourbillon de Hong Kong dá-me ainda mais vontade de explorar as marcas que apresentas. Acho fascinante que a Memorigin queira manter um carácter artesanal em vez de produção em massa. Continua com estas histórias, fazem-me sempre repensar o guarda-roupa.
Lieber Marko, ein sehr gelungener sommerlicher Auftritt. Die Memorigin interessiert mich besonders, da ich bislang dachte, ein Tourbillon sei ausschließlich den teuersten Schweizer Manufakturen vorbehalten. Darf ich fragen, ob dieses Modell ein Handaufzugswerk besitzt und wie es sich im Alltag am Handgelenk trägt? Ich überlege schon länger, in eine mechanische Uhr mit sichtbarem Werk zu investieren. Über deine ehrliche Einschätzung würde ich mich sehr freuen.
Hello Marko, a genuinely interesting summer feature. What struck me most is the price philosophy behind Memorigin, since most of us assume a tourbillon means spending the price of a small flat. I own a Frederique Constant and have always admired their accessible approach to fine watchmaking, so this brand feels like a natural next step for me. The fact that William Schum set out specifically to make the tourbillon attainable only adds to its appeal. My question is practical: when worn daily in warm weather, does the crocodile strap hold up well, or would you consider swapping it for… Read more »
Marko, complimenti per come racconti un orologio senza mai cadere nel tecnicismo noioso. Trovo notevole che il tourbillon, nato per correggere gli effetti della gravità sugli orologi da tasca, trovi oggi posto in un look così disinvolto. Mi piace anche che tu abbia scelto capi italiani come SVEVO Parma e la pelletteria StefanomanO, brand che meritano davvero più attenzione. Quel piccolo dettaglio dei forellini sul retro delle t-shirt SVEVO è una chicca che pochi conoscono. Spero di vedere presto altri modelli di questa collezione Memorigin sul tuo blog.
Cher Marko, votre sens du détail m’impressionne à chaque lecture. J’aime particulièrement l’idée d’une maison de Hong Kong qui revendique « la précision suisse avec un esprit oriental », car cette rencontre des cultures se ressent dans le design même du garde-temps. Le cadran blanc, volontairement dépouillé, laisse toute la place au mouvement, et c’est exactement ce que je recherche dans une montre. Vos photographies estivales à Berlin mettent joliment en valeur les teintes rouge et marine. Au plaisir de vous lire à nouveau bientôt.
Estimado Marko, tus consejos de estilo siempre me parecen muy acertados. Me gusta esta idea de elegancia deportiva para el verano, con esa camiseta roja que da carácter sin resultar excesiva. Tengo una duda de estilo: para un conjunto tan informal como este, ¿recomendarías unas zapatillas de pitón como las Louis Leeman, o crees que un modelo blanco más minimalista resultaría más versátil? Me cuesta encontrar el punto justo entre lo llamativo y lo discreto. Agradecería mucho tu opinión sincera.
Marko, I always come away from your posts having learned something. The brief history of the tourbillon, invented back in 1780 to fight gravity in pocket watches, was a lovely touch that grounds the whole piece. I also liked the navy StefanomanO backpack, which proves practical leather goods can still look elegant. Keep these thoughtful features coming.
Beste Marko, ik volg je blog al een hele tijd met veel plezier. Dit Memorigin-horloge spreekt me sterk aan, juist omdat een tourbillon tot de grote complicaties behoort en hier toch betaalbaarder lijkt dan gebruikelijk. Mijn vraag: hoe nauwkeurig loopt zo’n tourbillon in de praktijk over een week vergeleken met een gewoon mechanisch uurwerk? Ik ben benieuwd of de schoonheid van het mechaniek ook gepaard gaat met betrouwbaarheid in dagelijks gebruik. Je eerlijke ervaring zou me echt helpen.
Olá Marko, que excelente forma de mostrar que o luxo também pode ser descontraído. Fiquei especialmente impressionado com a mochila da StefanomanO em pele reciclada azul-marinho, pois unir o útil ao bonito é raro hoje em dia. Saber que a tradição da família Gasparroni começou em 1960 dá outra dimensão à marca. O relógio Memorigin, com o seu mostrador branco sereno, equilibra perfeitamente o lado prático do conjunto. Obrigado por partilhares marcas que de outra forma nunca teria descoberto.
Dear Marko, your eye for under-the-radar brands is exactly why I keep returning. I had never come across StefanomanO before, and the notion of a navy backpack made from recycled leather, soft yet practical enough for a laptop, is genuinely appealing for daily city life. My question concerns the watch, though: of the Memorigin pieces you have featured, is the Time Machine Series the one you find easiest to wear from day to night? I am trying to understand which of their designs suits an everyday wardrobe best. Thank you, and greetings from Manchester.
Lieber Marko, ein erfrischend unkomplizierter Sommerlook aus Berlin. Mir gefällt, dass du die Uhr nicht in den Vordergrund drängst, sondern sie ganz selbstverständlich zum roten Polo trägst. Dass Memorigin den Tourbillon für den wachsenden Markt zugänglicher machen wollte, finde ich eine sympathische Idee. Das schlichte weiße Zifferblatt passt hervorragend zu deinem reduzierten Stil. Danke für diesen angenehm geschriebenen Beitrag.
Cher Marko, je lis souvent votre blog pour mon mari, qui est devenu un véritable passionné de montres grâce à vous. Il a tout de suite été séduit par cette Memorigin et par l’idée qu’un tourbillon puisse venir de Hong Kong tout en gardant un esprit oriental. Nous avons tous deux admiré la façon dont vous l’associez à une tenue d’été décontractée plutôt qu’à un costume. Il est rare de trouver un blog masculin qui parle d’horlogerie avec autant de chaleur et de justesse. Recevez nos amitiés à tous les deux.
Buongiorno Marko, seguo il tuo blog soprattutto per le storie legate all’orologeria. Possiedo un Raymond Weil automatico che amo molto, ma devo ammettere che un vero tourbillon come questo Memorigin appartiene a un altro livello di complicazione. Mi incuriosisce parecchio l’idea di una casa di Hong Kong che propone questa meccanica a un prezzo più umano rispetto agli svizzeri. Posso chiederti se i loro orologi si possono acquistare e spedire facilmente in Europa, o solo direttamente da Hong Kong? Mi hai davvero incuriosito al punto da volerne sapere di più.
Marko, I must say this is one of the most elegant “casual” looks you have shared. The red and navy palette feels timeless rather than trendy, and the Memorigin ties it together with real refinement. I love that the brand’s designer, Mark Lui, built everything around the idea that only time has the same value for different people, which is a beautifully human thought for an object so technical. My husband has bought two pieces from brands you have featured, and both have become firm favourites in his wardrobe. Thank you for writing about style and substance in equal measure.
