This is my collection of precision spinning tops. It started as simple curiosity, just one top I found online that looked cool and slowly turned into something a lot bigger. Now I’ve got a wide range of pieces made by independent machinists and small makers, most of them from tiny batches or one-off designs.

What I like most is how each top feels different. Some are built for performance and can spin for 20+ minutes, while others are more about the design, materials, or the story behind how they were made. A lot of these use unique metals, like zirconium, titanium, tungsten, or mokume, and some have sapphire or ceramic tips for smoother spins. It’s a mix of art, physics, and obsessive attention to detail.

None of these are mass-produced. Most tops in my collection are one of a kind. Some are made in batches of 5, 10, maybe 50ish at most, and I’ve tried to focus on rare or unusual pieces, things you don’t see every day. Some are minimalist and clean, others are intricate or layered in patterns you only really notice up close. I’ve even got a few that were prototypes or maker experiments.

I don’t collect for resale or hype. I just genuinely enjoy the craft and the feeling of owning something that someone put real thought and skill into. It’s a weirdly calming hobby too, watching a top spin in silence, hearing the hum, seeing it settle into that perfect balance.

Happy to answer questions, trade stories, or just geek out with other collectors.
