Ming 27.01

Details

The Ming 27.01 is the brand's first foray into the thin, 'dress watch' category. The watch uses a workhorse ETA 7001 movement which has been reworked into a space-age, black coloured calibre befitting the sleek modernist design of the dial and case. The dial features contrasting shapes of grey, which is complemented by the burgundy red strap. Finally, the flared lugs follow the original design language of the 17-series, while adding a surprise in the form of its hollow shape.

This Ming is in excellent/near-mint condition, with only very light scratches on the bezel and case.

Comes with outer card shipping box, Ming box set with leather pouch, draw string bag and original warranty paper.

MING

When you see a watch brand set up by watch collectors, photographers and designers, you know it's bound to be good. Named after the founder, Ming Thein, the brand started out at the lower end of the scale, working standard ETA movements into their innovative and eye-catching case and dial designs. Gradually, the brand worked its way up in terms of complexity and price, and more recently began working with movement makers Agenhor as well as Schwarz Etienne to create extensively modified movements. Today, the brand offers a wide range of watches which are highly collectible, yet have a unity of design that would be impossible for a larger and more decentralised brand.
