A Malaysia brand from Ming Thien, a well known photographer and watch enthusiast.
I quite like the blue dial.

Looks somewhat like an FP Journe... but bold move by Ming Thien. Wish him all the best...

My friend's husband has created a watch.
Check it out at www.ming.watch (http://www.ming.watch)
The price is 4k ringgit - which I think is a good deal considering it uses a Sellita movement and Sapphire
-
The dial looks very nice. Anyone here has the actual wrist shot? Thanks.

no, passed

I met with Ming about two weeks back and I have seen the watch in person (black dial); it is beautiful. That dial has quite some depth to it, and I even tough he did not have the blue dial on hand that night, I personally sway towards that colour. Built well, fantastic and original design, good choice of (easily swap-able) straps, and priced right. Future projects also looks really, really promising.
-
Any idea if the watch has luminosity? Can't seem to find any info on this...
-
Yes, it will lume. Iirc, standard superluminova.

Inner wave dial looks unique.

Reminds me of the JLC blue dial memovox
-
I'm inclined to think that the brand owner/investors are more influenced by Mr FP Journe. Looking at the size and shape of case, design of dial and hands, it does carry hints of journe's stylistic sense.

hope he dun mind my input, overall the watch is awesome, but the hand is really make the watch looks cheap, like plastic hand from 10 dollar clock, was hoping for a nicely polish in steel / white gold hand that makes it stands out the quality look
just my 2 cent
-
Prefer it to have a sweeping hand or small circle hand

I don't see how it can demand USD900 for it.

i agree on this point. If the hands were polished, it will look great. The white hands stick out like a sore thumb.

According to the Ming watch write-up at other forums, the hour numeric markers and hands are fully coated with Superluminova material. That's why they look so "plastic" and pale white.
-
yup saw it from the hodinkee website only got to know, for me watch hand represent the watches standard, is a iconic if they going to make more watch in future. altho is full lume but the look itself is still lack of design and heritage
grade 5 titanium, nicely polish on the bezel, unique dial (hope it has more depth to bring out the light and shadow part), and the numbering is pretty cool
i dont mind have it without lume, is a dressy watch anyway :)
-
Anyone of us getting this Ming watch? I was hesitating and now it is totally sold off.... :Blue:
-
The lack of seconds hand makes it "dead". Feels liveless. Kudos to them though for going at it and i hope the next installment we will see a 40mm and more dynamic movement on the dial.

Like me, I don't try many watches on my wrist before buying them. I trust the write up in the forums.
-
I have made the mistake of buying a watch without trying them on, regretted and sold it at a loss. It looked really nice in pictures and on somebody's wrist but once it was delivered to me, and i wore it on my wrist, it didnt look good on me. It is still a nice watch, but just not for me.
So lesson learnt, never buy a watch unless I can try it on. I'm sure its a nice watch.
-
Perhaps I can join you guys for teh tarik to see the watch in person. ( the teh on me obviously ;) )
:Cheers:

It's been a year since Ming's first watch and there are 2 new watches (17.03).
