Horological Meandering

While we all like to believe to be masters of our own destinies, sometimes life throws us a curve ball. And while mine - of late 2016 - was fortunately not of the kind that will derail my further life unduly, it did result in the watch budget being draine...  

But from pictures it appears similarly alluring, even if quite different. The digital guilloche comes out stronger on it, though.

Actually contemplating both.

Cannot really give you an answer to your question, though - since I have not yet seen the Lundis Bleus. But a good point to check it out - thanks

Thanks for the review Hope to get one too My first choice is also the blue 😀

Cause I always said.... nothing under 40 for my wrist But I've read it looks a bit bigger than 38 because of the big dial vs not so thick bezel

Direct distribution means a lower overall cost - as you do not have retail and wholesale layers involved - but unfortunately also means that trying it on before making a decision is sadly much more difficult. Do hope it fits though

But bear in mind the lugs are short and curved.

In terms of what wrists it fits. But I know that different people have different preferences in that respect 👍🏻

Or something of that sort - my poor photography sadly isn't improving fast enough But that one did seem to work better than the others, hence also chosen for the front picture of the post Thanks!

You're the fourth Purists to own this rare timepiece and the first one with a blue dial if I'm right. This timepiece will become a the new blockbuster at this rate. Best wishes Alkiro

On a more serious note, it is a very intriguing watch - and one I am very much looking forward to placed next to your FP Journe Chronometre Bleu for a twin shot Thanks Alkiro!

Best wishes Alkiro

Deal?

I'm really interested in seeing this one in real. You know, 38mm and such a mesmerising blue dial are, especially, really my taste 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Blue dials and raw meat - match made in heaven

You have the Ming, I have the FPJ CB and we both know good tartare spots. Best wishes Alkiro

Where? But I am sure we will find an arrangement

Best wishes Alkiro

This is a very interesting story, and the watch is quite good-looking.

Glad you like it As said, coming soon to a GTG close to you

I was hoping for you making another sausage tasting tour in the dual monarchy...

But thanks regardless

.. Either way, your pic 3 is really awesome & well chosen. Most if not all your points are spot on; a more than interesting newcomer, that's for sure. I'll also be curious about possible future models issued by the Micro-brand.. A last little thing fromHu... 

On a seconds hand as an indicator, whether it's running. But then again one hears it's heartbeat Glad you liked the review and that you largely share the verdict. As for arrived, depends on the serial number and when they are ready

Nice watch indeed and thank for adding your review. I was surely too late recognizing its potential but still hope to have a chance to encounter somewhere soon. Cheers, Kolosstt

Or is it only the current batch? A nice piece at any rate and glad if the review was helpful!

No more blue and anthracite available of the 300 total reference 17.01. Cheers Kolosstt

No message body

We are extremely grateful to our customers and supporters for the great reception the 17.01 has received - unfortunately, this has also meant we have the good problem of (as at today, roughly ten days after launch) over 900 people on the waiting list for ... 

But I believe there will be other watches from them in due course...

The next 'race' is on?

over 900 on waiting list as of 23 august.

The second batch was sold out in about 3 minutes! There is a third, but last batch, in late October. I received mine this past weekend and it's truly a very nice one.

This Ming watch has really aroused the interest of watch enthusiasts: On two well known commercial watch blogs you could find - for once - also enthusiastic and informative reviews on it instead of rehashed press releases. For me it was particularly inter... 

I have seen the Ochs & Junior and would not mind it at all At any rate, glad you enjoyed the review!

...that I heard about this Ming too late and it was already sold out... I would also have gone for a blue dial as it is the color of love as blomman and zabreg1 say (with right 😉). I need to try this one, surely at our next GTG 😉. Congrats my friend, wear... 

Will definitely bring it to the next GTG And I am sure more watches and models will become available from Ming in the coming years

Nice looking watch.

Guess there will be quite a lot more than 900 requests by now It is indeed the hodinkee article, but I'm surprised Bloomberg agrees to publish such an article about such a micro brand, I guess they really did everything right Strange such a cheap watch g... 

As usually, it is not about the price, only
