How on earth the Ming watch is getting so expensive?

Ultimately it seems to be the fact that Ming watches are gaining in popularity, no doubt thanks for publications like Hodinkee, and just the fact that Ming doesn't produce many watches in a year. Its getting sold at least 2x or more in the secondary market now.

Happy for a Malaysian brand but sad how inflated the price has become, though some will say it's still worth it.

Ming design language is uniquely his and even from his days as the photographer , his keen eyes for details has always been there. It is good to hear his endeavour for his watch brand is doing well in the after sales market - i do like his watch design language but i feel it is becoming a rehash of the same theme over time - the TRON like features do stand out prominently in his designs

I believe you can slowly find pieces selling below retail one day when the hype is over..

There is only a limited number of combinations you can churn out in specific quantities before there is excess in the market, and you need to attract a growing number of collectors and not depends on the same buyers to buy every single edition you make.
