Memorigin Michele Reis x iPANDAS
A Panda with Purpose
Created in collaboration with Michele Reis, IPS, and Memorigin, the MICHELE X iPANDAS Tourbillon celebrates the 25th anniversary of Integrated Publicity Services with a design that combines playful charm, charity, and high-end mechanical craftsmanship.
At the heart of the watch is the adorable iPANDAS motif, carefully carved in three dimensions on the black nickel-plated skeleton dial. Creating the panda within the narrow space between the dial and sapphire crystal required exceptional precision, ensuring that the motif remained sculptural and expressive without interfering with the hands or movement.
The watch carries a meaningful charitable purpose, with proceeds supporting JMJ Children’s Charitable Foundation and its work related to giant panda conservation in Sichuan. The panda motif, heart-pattern skeleton design, and JMJ-inspired details create a timepiece that feels both joyful and emotionally significant.
Ten diamond indexes add brilliance to the dial, while two rubies placed at 2 o’clock and 5 o’clock commemorate IPS’s 25th anniversary. Rose gold-plated luminous dauphine hands provide warmth and contrast against the dark skeletonized background, while the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock brings continuous mechanical motion to the design.
Powered by a manually wound flying tourbillon movement with a 40-hour power reserve, the MICHELE X iPANDAS Tourbillon is a charming collector’s piece that blends character design, fine watchmaking, and a meaningful conservation cause.
