Making only a handful of watches in small series each model is sold out within minutes of being released. The brand takes the name of one of its founders and core drivers: Ming Thein, a physicist by training and a world renown photographer. A long time watch collector he decided that he wanted to create his own brand and offer a watch impeccably made but at a very competitive price point. The 17.06 Copper is housed in a 38mm case featuring brushed and polished surfaces setting a perfect frame for the superb architecture of the dial with its central guilloché pattern and outer polished surface. Suspended above the dial is a sapphire ring from which luminous hour markers appear suspended. Polished hands are set close to the dial for minimal parallax, with just 0.3mm clearance to the crystal underside. Both dial and hands are loaded with Super-LumiNova C1 for a distinctive nocturnal signature. The most impressive about the dial is the way the dial’s surface captures light and reflects it in the most delightful manner. The MING 17.06 Copper was awarded the Horological Revelation prize at the 2019 Edition of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
