Ming - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

A 38mm diameter round case, steel, a classic time display, just 2 hands, a crown at 3:00 p.m., a very classic Clou de Paris guilloché on the dial, ... nothing very original and yet nothing is conventional on this watch. Very short and concave lugs, a singular hand shape simply drawn by the luminova, indexes engraved under the glass and filled with luminova, a fairly sporty crown on a watch that could pass for dressy, a dial on two levels that gives incredible depth ... All the classics are revisited with a very assertive design. You either love it or hate it. For those who like it, it is a very versatile watch, which can be worn dressed up or as a t-shirt. The diameter / thickness proportions are perfect. A real success.

Both classic and completely modern, it is a rather atypical watch. Ming and his team have managed to create a strong identity with a very recognizable case: short and concave horns that can be reminiscent of Journe and which require bracelets with curved handles. Very recognizable hands of which only the perimeter is visible and a railroad track interspersed with indexes engraved under the glass and loaded with luminova. The dial consists of a smooth ring on a first level and a lower center magnificently guilloché. The whole gives a lot of depth. This version is distinguished by its burgundy dial with extremely changing reflections. The automatic caliber is a Sellita modified by Manufacture Schwartz-Etienne with a nice little complication: in the intermediate position of the crown, only the hour hand moves and in one-hour increments which allows you to change time zone without touching the minute hand.

Welcome to a beautiful Japanese garden with this magnificent Ming. Equipped with a beautiful caliber 330M2 or also called Sellita SW330-2, it is assembled by the Schwartz-Étienne manufacture in Switzerland. This watch is unique, thanks to its 38mm neo vintage case, its rarity, its manufacturing quality, its hands which will allow you to read the time correctly. Depending on the light it offers you a wonderful spectacle as if you are traveling. This watch entered my collection thanks to this visual love at first sight and thanks to this wisdom integrated into the purity of its dial. A correct water resistance of 100 meters. A beautiful power reserve of 50 hours. A magnificent bracelet which is made by Jean Rousseau in Maris. I do not use the GMT. One word, Titanic (ah yes it is made of Titanium 😊), do not let your watch collection evolve without buying a Ming
