Agreed, and again I apologize, obviously (but at this point I have to confess that probably some thinkings seem obvious to me only) it wasn’t my intention to put Ming on the same level of

many respected independent brands, which btw I love and Of which some release are for me really grails (as of now I have only a Centigraph from FPJ), I’d like a lot to be able to buy something from Kary, Romain Gauthier and most of all De Bethune (maybe better to see what could be the future road DB will enter into...), but I have a family, two lovely kids and I need to manage my income/ bank account taking in due consideration the future of my beloved...
I bought a Nomos Club minimatik and I’m really satisfied... just to say that I’m not stick to the usual suspscts, but I’m really open minded to look around
But at this point my concern on investing a respectable amount of money on a “kickstarter project” for a brand which might disappear at the same speed it was born, could be even more “risky” (forgive my English vocabulary... it is restricted to a low number of words)
Dear Geo would you prefer invest 7€k in a vintage Cartier or on a new watch you like from a kickstarter project, at the end this is my question and concern?
@ least this is only my opinion, I wish Ming the best, and I will enjoy pics on the wrists of the owner of their watch...
Have a wonderful Sunday
Ciao
Luca

but for a vintage JLC Memovox is next on the list. This Ming doesn't have the odd orientation of Arabic numbers, & looks so much better for it
Please do it dear Alkiro !

I am looking forward to what the final opinion will be, but I am afraid I would prefer a Moser no matter what the outcome will be.
Really spectacular

Congrats Ming, this is really an achievement to create a design that is new, but not disconcerting. Really nailed the details. Bravo, Brandon
Really cool...

It's very TRON-esque.
Cool concept.

But would those lugs fit a wide variety of wrists?
Love it!

Saw some videos on Instagram and looked very interesting. A VERY impressive, boundary pushing 2nd offering from a brand that did not exist 12 months ago... congratulations Mr. Ming!
Really like the movement!

It's great that the design language is carried on to this - currently - flagship model. I hope these do not get sold out in a nanosecond, too
Fascinated as many, who wrote before me, by this new Ming

but now it seems we’re starting to play in another league, at least considering the price, so we are back to the same question, is it worth it? Considering that 12 months ago Ming didn’t even exist? Could it be a wise “investment”? I know we do not discus...
Dear Cazalea, I agree with you,

I do believe everyone factors in before deciding to pull the trigger many different thoughts and at least imho you listed some of them How many times even discussing on watches from some established brands we read something like “but in this range of pric...
Independents?
By: Geo : November 5th, 2017-00:13
I do not see the brand as an Independent like Moser, Urwerk or MB&F to name a few. Ming is a bussinessman/photographer/designer, nothing wrong with that since he does everything very good, what he does, he is a professional, but to call the brand an Indep...
