Black Chrome MK1 Spinning Tops

Black Chrome is a coating commonly used on high end cars. Initially coated with protective nickel and then followed by a smoothing, more reflective layer of dark chromium.  Although the coating is very thin, due to the strength of the coating it very durable and can last for many years - helping to reduce scratches and damage to a highly polished surface, meaning the polish will stay looking sharp for years to come.

The Vorso MK1 is engineered to perfection, precision machined to the tightest tolerances. It's designed to defy gravity for the longest period of time possible. Hand made in the UK by Vorso, these are the polished MK1 tops. Featuring a knurled texture to the top of the spindle to provide excellent grip, allowing for more torque to be put into each spin for longer times.

Each is machined on state of the art CNC lathes, producing perfectly balanced components. Once machined, each section is meticulously quality checked for weight and dimension. 

Ceramic balls drastically reduce the main cause of surface wear in conventional bearings, meaning that ceramic bearings are extremely durable, they won't dent or lose their polish and because their surface finish is almost perfectly smooth they will spin longer and faster with reduced friction and vibration. Ruby is visually much more appealing but is also a little more fragile, the Ruby contact point is gorgeous but there is certainly more chance of damage if dropped.
