Celebrating its 5th anniversary, MING has announced the launch of its new model 37.07. It comes with an eye-catching mosaic dial.

Offering a more wrist presence and fitted with a sapphire caseback, the in 316L stainless steel measures 38mm diameter. It has a minimalistic bezel design. A domed sapphire crystal glass protects the dial side.

The watch is equipped with the Swiss made SW210.M1 calibre exclusively made by Sellita for MING. It has a power reserve of 40 hours. Visible through the exhibition case-back, this mechanical manual-wound movement features anthracite skeletonized bridges with contrast rhodium circular brushing.

The mosaic pattern dial come with a time-only configuration with two large central hands for the hour and minute display. Both hands feature Super-LumiNova coating.

The dial uses Super-LumiNova set on the centre of a brass dial; with the outer portion circular brushed. The inner portion of the dial hosts a three-layer printed mosaic (on upper, lower surfaces of the sapphire and the lower brass dial). The mosaic pattern comprises gradient and luminous elements as well.

Water resistant to 100 meters, the watch comes with a matching water safe rubber strap by Jean Rousseau. The strap is compatible with the brand’s tuck-under buckle debuted with the 37.05.

For MING 37.07, the brand has implemented a time-limited order process via two windows. On 29th July 2012, two pre-order windows will be open respectively from 2AM to 2.15AM GMT and from 1PM to 1.15PM GMT. All orders placed during these two windows are guaranteed a watch.

The 37.07 is priced at CHF 3,250, with a 50% non-refundable deposit (CHF 1,625) required on order. The balance is due on delivery, which expects to begin in May 2023. Conclusion of deliveries depends on the final volume and may continue through the end of 2023.

MING’s 37.05 is an alluring mechanical moon phase watch. Made of stainless steel, it comes with a multi-layered sapphire dial. The apertures for date and moon lie in the lower layer dial, which is metal, textured and carries a midnight blue to black gradient reminiscent of the night sky, with a seamless sapphire dial above that carries the hour indices (laser etched, and filled with HyCeram) and a central mask for the moon to mirror the brand’s emblematic peripheral ring forms.

A full moon thus forms a complete ring, which is luminous, with partial phases being portions thereof. The date window preserves symmetry at 6 o’clock, and is as subtle as possible with a background color-matched to the dial, and the brand’s signature font in light grey.

One of the most dynamic dials from MING, it inverts completely from a seamless silver mirror to a solid blue-black with moon and date displays. The transition is gradual and most of the time, the watch presents a bit of both: a calm, reflective serenity above and a lot more visual texture below.

Instead of semicircle moon aperture, MING 37.05 features a centrally-driven moon disc to offer a sufficiently large display to allow the ring display to work.

The brand has chosen the Sellita SW288 movement to equip this timepiece. It was then further reworked in a similar style to the 7001.M1 used in the 27.01 and 27.02; it is skeletonized, matte-blasted and anthracite coated, with a contrasting portion on the main train bridge in circular-brushed rhodium. This mechanical manual-wound calibre is visible through the sapphire crystal case-back.

The 37-series case family is a core MING product line, spanning from entry level to Special Projects and everything in between. It has a flexible architecture that can accept a wide range of movements, is scalable to thickness, and can be produced in a wide range of materials. At the same time, it is a highly refined case design that has complex compound curves – such as the line from case side to lug tip – and multiple finishes.

MING has also increased the visual presence of the case with a significantly larger dial opening than the 17- series and domed front and rear crystals. However, wearability and comfort for a wide variety of wrist sizes is maintained with the same 38mm maximum diameter and 20mm lug width. In short: it looks bigger than a 17-series, but feels the same on the wrist.

Like all MING watches, this new model is a result of a long standing partnership with Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne, which is responsible for construction, production and assembly of the 37.05 collection. The brand has also partnered with Jean Rousseau Paris for straps and Studio Koji Sato for the pouches.

The 37.05 is one of the brand’s first watches to be offered on a keeperless buckle system that tucks the unused hole portion of the strap underneath the opposite end. By doing this, a given strap length works for a wider range of sizes because the unused portion effectively increases the diameter of smaller wrists.

The overall configuration is neater, more comfortable, more secure and more visually harmonious. Finally, the buckle also has built in micro adjustment simply by moving the middle spring bar.

The MING 37.05 is priced at CHF 4,950. It is available exclusively at http://www.ming.watch from 25 November 2021. The delivery expected to begin July 2022.

Edition of 500 watches

MING’s new 20.11 Mosaic watch boasts a sapphire crystal dial with a 3D chessboard pattern created by a special lasering process. 2,650 squares of varying opacity, each formed with a linear diffraction pattern and etched with a high-power femtosecond laser on three different levels within the sapphire crystal dial. This process was developed in collaboration with DM Surfaces SA of St. Imier.

Depending on ambient light, the Mosaic can turn from invisible to a prominent chessboard and the brand chose to use a dark movement finish to provide a contrasting background, whilst adding visual texture. At night, light from the fully charged HyCeram in the sapphire dial will reflect off the Mosaic and result in a soft glow.

The 20.11 is powered by the Schwarz-Etienne for MING Cal. ASE 200.2, with micro-rotor winding and a unique configuration previously seen in MING 19.05.

While the brand has retained the skeletonized bridges, the finishing is now matte-blasted with a black DLC coating and contrasting diamond-cut anglage. It has a power reserve of approximately 86 hours and is wound bidirectionally by a micro-rotor made of sintered tungsten.

The movement is equipped with the signature MING skeletonized barrel cover. As with other ASE powered MING watches, the movement is adjusted in five positions and tested for an extended period prior to delivery.

For the first time, MING has used sapphire crystal hands with HyCeram for legibility in all light conditions. The same HyCeram is used on the luminous indices of the dial sapphire.

To add even more visual texture to the rear, the inner bezel surrounding the movement is made of titanium and machined with a Clous-de-Paris pattern and DLC coated.

The 20.11 is completed with a pair of handmade straps from Jean Rousseau Paris, a leather travel pouch by Studio Koji Sato, and a 700-lumen Nitecore LED torch for charging the HyCeram.

The MING 20.11 is priced at CHF 14,500 with orders being taken on a deposit basis and deliveries commencing February 2022. A public batch of 50 watches will be offered, in addition to an existing customer batch that is time limited from 5 July to 9 July 2021.

MING bids farewell to the brand’s popular 17-series with the 17.09: an evolved daily wearer with new, extra functionality and overall design updates.

For the first time, MING brings laser-etched, lume-filled sapphire to their entry level watch: the indices have now moved to the underside of the top crystal and glow with a new intensity. They reflect the graphic design language first shown on the 18.01 H41 and 27.01, and are complimented by a bold new handset derived from the 20.01 Chronographs.

The dial is now a two-piece construction with a fine Clous-de-Paris pattern in the center and a circular brushed outer portion, creating a very dynamic presentation as ambient light changes.

The 17.09 is in burgundy and blue dial variants paired with matched straps by Jean Rousseau Paris and they offer two very distinct personalities. The straps are complimented with a flying blade buckle in stainless steel.

The polished and brushed 316L stainless steel case has also received some proportional revisions for greater wrist presence, but remains a very wearable 38mm to cater for a wide variety of wrist sizes.

Lugs have been re-profiled with a continuous twist that extends the brushing continuously from the case flanks through to the underside of the lugs, while retaining the brand’s signature flare.

MING has partnered with Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne to develop an independent hour hand adjustment mechanism, based on the Sellita SW330-2. This complication and modification is exclusive to MING.

The intermediate crown position now advances the hour hand independently to the rest of the gear train, which continues to run. This is both useful for daylight savings time as well as for when travel resumes globally. Both hands can of course be adjusted together in the third crown position, where the movement also hacks.

The first batch of watches will be made available to existing customers and deliveries will begin in July 2021. The MING 17.09 is priced at CHF 1,950 in both variants and includes shipping worldwide.

Based on the 2020 GPHG-finalist MING 27.01, this new timepiece features a sapphire dial ( thicker than the brass dial of the 27.01) and a blue Clous-de-Paris guilloché ring around the periphery of the movement, without any increase in overall thickness.

In addition to the core elements of radial symmetry, legibility, the 0 marker and flared lugs, the MING 27.02 watch extends the smooth visual transitions beyond the case lines to the dial itself. The brand added a gradient to the lower surface of the sapphire dial and laser etched markers on the upper surface. This causes the guilloché to appear to fade not just in depth and spatial frequency but also saturation. It transitions from an inky black center to prominent guilloché at the edges and exhibits the trademark inversion under certain angles – with the markers appearing to float over a uniform mirror.

The MING 27.02 watch retains the 6.9mm total height (including crystals) of the 27.01. It also retained the ‘flying blade’ lugs machined from a monobloc stainless steel caseband and the 38×6.9mm proportions which give the watch solid wrist presence but versatile wearability.

The MING 27.02 houses Cal. MING 7001.M1, a heavily modified ETA Peseux 7001 hand-wound mechanical calibre. The bridges and plates are reworked by Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne in a configuration of the brand’s design: solid baseplate with maximal opening of upper bridges to put moving components on display.

Like its sibling, the 27.02 does not carry any luminous material. However, a contrasting mix of surfaces allows for exceptional legibility and a sensation of much greater physical depth than should be possible given the case thickness.

The variation in texture continues through the case: at the front, the lighter polished steel bezel transitions to blue Clous-de-Paris and then an inky black pool on the dial. On the sides, polished flying blades are offset against matte-blasted recesses and the rear echoes the front, with brushed steel and etched text surrounding a black movement.

MING continues its partnership with Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne for the production of the 27.02, Jean Rousseau Paris for the straps and Studio Koji Sato for travel pouches.

The MING 27.02 is available to order from 15 January 2021, exclusively from http://www.ming.watch. It is priced at CHF 4,950, with a total lifetime production of 200 watches. Deliveries are expected to begin in November 2021.

MING bids farewell to the brand’s 19-series with a distillation of the best of 19.01, 19.02 and 19.03 into a final edition of 15 watches.

The MING 19.05 has a new solid sapphire dial with inky black undercoat that shares the same ‘inversion’ with the other MING watches under various lighting conditions. However, it is the first 19-series to have indices and luminous material on the dial itself: the arcs previously lasered into the upper crystal are now cut into the dial and filled with ceramic Super-LumiNova X1 for enhanced brightness and definition.

The 19.05 is powered by the Schwarz-Etienne for MING Cal. ASE 200.1, in a unique configuration and micro-rotor winding. The movement features skeletonized bridges, a matte-blasted 5N rose gold coating, and hand-polished anglage. It has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and is wound bi-directionally by a micro-rotor made of sintered tungsten.

The signature MING skeletonized barrel cover allows for easy determination of the state of wind. As with the other 19-series watches, the movement is adjusted in five positions and tested for an extended period prior to delivery.

The 19.05’s case – a thin titanium band holding the two deep-box sapphire crystals together – is made from grade-5 titanium with a mixture of mirror-polished and finely brushed surfaces. It is once again constructed without a spacer ring for maximum rigidity.

Both external sapphire crystals carry double-sided antireflective coatings. Hands are skeletonized and loaded with Super-LumiNova X1, along with the luminous ring inside the bezel that projects a soft glow onto the dial.

The 19.05 is completed by MING’s Universal Bracelet in matching grade-5 titanium with curved quick release ends, a handmade strap from Jean Rousseau Paris and a leather travel pouch by Studio Koji Satto.

The MING 19.05 is limited to 15 watches at CHF 9,950 with deliveries expected to begin early-May 2021. It is available to order immediately from www.ming.watch
