A toy produced by a Vietnamese company has officially been recognized as the world's longest running mechanical spinning top with a timing of 24 hours, 35 minutes and 15 seconds, Tuoi Tre reported Wednesday.
This is the first time a Vietnamese toy has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, the report said.
It said that the Hanoi-based TOSY Robotics JSC's toy, named Tosy, set the record at their office in the presence of six notaries from the Hanoi Notary House.
Le Quoc Hung, chief of the notary agency, was quoted as saying in the newspaper that the Guinness organization asked world record applicants to film the whole process that is observed by at least two independent witnesses.
