History

Founding and early years

In 2013, Viktor Grabovskyy, Ruben Gonzalez, and Cristobal Uribe planned to start an analytics company, but as they didn't have the funding to do so, they decided instead to market a top as a modern piece of nostalgia. They co-founded ForeverSpin together in February 2014.[3]

Products

Top

The first spinning tops were introduced in April 2014. Later, in October 2014, the company announced ForeverSpin 2.0, an updated version of the top available in a wider variety of metal finishes and with a more refined design and improved balance.

Each top is 2.86 cm (1.125 in) wide. Weight varies by metallic composition. Metals used in the manufacture of the tops include titanium, Damascus steel, gold plated, cast iron, copper, bronze, zirconium and brass.

ForeverDock

The ForeverDock is a display stand for ForeverSpin tops, and can fit up to 5 tops on one dock.

ForeverBase

The ForeverBase is a surface base for the ForeverSpin top. It is made out of glass with a stainless steel rim, and is slightly concave.
