MING 37.07 'Mosaic'

Instantly recognizable and designed with obsessive detail, MING watches are genuinely unlike anything else out there.

The MING 37.07 ‘Mosaic’ elevated the brand’s technical ingenuity and watchmaking prowess to new heights. The 37.07 is constructed out of lightweight materials and utilizes sapphire in a mind-bendingly cool way.

Its stainless steel case spans 38mm in diameter and features distinctive skeletonized 'blade' lugs, a piece of design vocabulary the Independent has come to be known for. The case is further complemented by a double anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a sapphire exhibition caseback showcasing a modified MING Selita movement.

The most striking element of the watch is its laser-engraved sapphire dial. MING achieved a mesmerizing pattern using femtosecond — one quadrillionth of a second — laser bursts to engrave the sapphire canvas with over 2,650 squares of varying opacity. The resulting mosaic-like patterning catches the light - and the eye - in a way unlike any other timepiece we've handled. Its translucent effect is completed effect a luminous skeletonized sapphire handset and a peripheral hour track printed on the underside of the dial.

In near-mint, virtually unworn condition throughout, this example includes its factory collateral.

Celebrate the start to the Golden Age of Independent watchmaking with a piece that is truly unlike any other!

Established in 2017 in Malaysia by Ming Thein and a close group of watch enthusiast friends and investors, Ming has quickly climbed to the top of the “high-end independent” heap for its inspired designs, minimalist aesthetics and wildly cool dials. Small details such as a bracelet that fits universally on all models, a unique 12 o’clock marker, and flared lugs make for a notable product line that nevertheless flies well under the radar in a world obsessed with steel sports watches from a handful of well-known brands.

Produced in Switzerland and QC’d in Kuala Lumpur, Ming watches use either Sellita and ETA movements in their entry-level pieces, or higher-end calibers from the likes of Schwartz-Etienne and others on some of its pricer wares. Their products sell out quickly, and Ming often rewards repeat customers with offers of allocations on new models. The watch industry has also taken note, awarding the 17.06 Copper model the Horological Revelation price at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

From simple, time-only models to GMTs and moon phases, Ming’s timepieces represent some of the best in modern boutique watchmaking, drawing on a collective 80 years of experience in the watch space to push the horological envelope.
