MING
Also recorded as: Ming Watches · MING Watches
Collector-founded brand whose numbered models (17.01, 19.02, 27.02…) are made in Switzerland in small batches.
MING was founded in 2017 by the photographer and watch writer Ming Thein with a group of collectors. The first model, the 17.01, was named after its year and series number, a system the brand keeps; production is carried out with Swiss suppliers.
Its watches are known for layered sapphire dials, luminous effects and integrated straps and bracelets, and later models have used complicated movements made for the brand.
