This set includes:-

2x Mk1 spinning tops
1x Electron spin station

This is a great set for playful minds, you can really show off the different weights of the materials in the tops. 

 

The Mk1 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 over twelve motionless minutes, the Mk1 is a top-quality top that will last forever and, according to our customers, the best spinning top in the world.

Spinning tops have been mesmerizing humanity for over 5,500 years, like watching a fire, they are incredibly satisfying- even addictive. Spinning tops have emerged in cultures all over the globe, from ancient Japanese fighting tops to African whip tops, but at Vorso we offer something very much made in modern times. Our spinning tops are created using computer-aided design and simulation, machined on modern CNC lathes, and manufactured in aerospace level materials.

With a simple launch the Mk1 is so good, so well made, that it will spin for 8, 10, even 15 minutes. 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 center of gravity that quickly allows the top to steady and stand perfectly upright with the softest of spins.

The Electron Spin Station is engineered to provide a durable surface that increases spin times over a regular surface. The concave nature of the glass helps to focus the momentum of the spinning top to the center, to quickly achieve the “motionless” phenomena of a perfect spinning top.

 Your questions, answered.

What's the best choice for me? 

Ceramic vs Ruby

Ceramic: Made from ultra-durable silicon nitride, ceramic bearings score 7 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. Nearly impossible to dent, they’re used in high-performance applications like rocket engines and bulletproof vests.

Ruby: For those who value both luxury and performance, ruby bearings offer a superior upgrade. With a near-perfect spherical shape and a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, they reduce surface friction for longer spin times and greater longevity. Ruby also adds elegance, often found in precision tools and luxury watches.

Machine Finished vs Polished

This choice ultimately comes down to personal preference.

Machine Finished
Every line and detail is beautifully rendered in the machine finish, showcasing the precision of the machining process. The final touch adds a subtle brightness, making it perfect for purists who appreciate the intricate details of expertly engineered pieces.

Polished

The mirror polish is ideal for those who love a blend of simplicity and elegance in design. While it doesn’t enhance spin times, it adds a sense of beauty as it reflects surrounding colors and light. Perfectly complemented by a ruby contact point, our polishing process has been refined to meet, and possibly exceed, the standards of the jewelry industry.

For the engineering enthusiasts: The machine finish is technically more precise since hand polishing microscopically removes material, altering the metal until it’s nearly smooth. This precision means the machine finish is slightly more balanced, slightly heavier, and could theoretically result in slightly longer spin times—though our tests have yet to show a consistent difference.

Which metal?

Brass strikes the perfect balance—heavier than stainless but not as weighty as copper. It provides long, steady spins.

Stainless steel is the most durable and can withstand more abuse, though it's the lightest of the three. Despite this, its spin times can easily exceed 8 minutes, and the polished finish resembles liquid metal when it spins.

Copper, being the heaviest, offers slightly longer spin times and warms quickly in your hand, providing a fantastic feel and appearance.

Note: Patina; Stainless steel stays pristine, while brass and copper develop a subtle patina. A quick clean restores their shine, and our alloys won’t cause any odors.

Spin times

Which top has the best spin times?

Currently, the Tom has the best spin times, closely followed by the Mk1. The Sunny and the Dervish have nearly identical spin times, with the Stanley coming in just after them.

Which material has the best spin times?

In our production models, copper typically delivers the best spin times due to its heavier nature, providing just a bit more oomph. Brass ranks second, with stainless steel coming in third, though the difference between brass and stainless is often minimal. For the longest spin times we offer, check out our custom Tungsten Mk1.

Which top is easiest to spin?

While this can vary depending on the user, the Stanley is likely the easiest to use, followed by the Mk1 and Sunny. The Tom and Dervish come next in terms of ease of launch.

Average spin times.

Spin time will vary based on your technique, as outlined below:

Virgin – 2-3 minutes
Newbie – 4-7 minutes
Solid Gripper – 7-10 minutes
Hard Hitter – 10-14 minutes

Why Vorso spinning tops?

Spinning tops have been mesmerizing humanity for over 5,500 years, like watching a fire, they are incredibly satisfying- even addictive. Spinning tops have emerged in cultures all over the globe, from ancient Japanese fighting tops to African whip tops, but at Vorso we offer something very much made in modern times.
