Independents

Latest incoming!

MIng just released its ultra thin 27.01 stainless steel watch in a limited production of 125 pieces at 1pm GMT today. All 125 pieces were sold out by 1.08pm GMT and I am glad to say I was one of the lucky ones. The 27.01 is Ming's thinnest watch at 6.9mm and measures 38mm in diameter. It is a manual winding watch with a sapphire crystal case back that shows off the ETA Peseaux 7001 movement in at its glory as it only retains its gear train and escapement. The bridges and plates are remade courtesy of Schwarz Etienne of Switzerland in collaboration with Ming's design. I think the Jean Rousseau burgundy calf strap goes well with the case and I look forward to receiving mine sometime between September and November this year. My only qualm perhaps is that the watch is a two handed watch rather than a three handed watch but I like the minimalist design. All the photos below are courtesy of MIng

Thank you!

My favourite Ming so far thanks to the exposed manual movement and the slim case.

Very very nice sham1, congratulations! Splendidly, elegantly and exactly my type of time piece

Thank you very much Francois!

I am very excited about this piece which just shows one can be excited about a watch at any price range!

Excellent acquisition, a nice proposition from a very interesting brand! Congrats. [nt]

An interesting brand indeed which seems to have got its marketing correct which will prove effective in these challenging times.

Huge Congrats my friend.

I very nice looking watch . I didn’t try to get one as i am still very happy with my two Ming watches and wanted to safe up some cash for a bigger purchase in the near future . Looking forward to see your pics when its on your wrist soon .

Two Mings is indeed commendable my friend

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-07:49

and I recall one of the two is a very special limited edition piece in very small numbers. There are so many lovely watches coming up and I currently have my eye on the new FP Journe Resonance which means I too should be more disciplined with my watch pur...

Many congratulations dear Sham!

It’s beautiful. Well done! What is the thickness please ? Best regards

Congratulations for your purchase we can say Ming did it again, beautiful design [nt]

Thanks for your wishes!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-07:52

I know you are a great fan of Ming and for me, this is my favourite MIng watch so far probably due to its thinness and the exposed manual movement.

I decided to pass, 15 Ming’s is good enough 😉 [nt]

By: Maltie : May 1st, 2020-09:19

Fifteen??!!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-11:06

You must officially be their biggest collector!

6.9mm :-)

Wasn’t something I was fast enough.

There will be others Richard!

I was always feel with watch purchases, if it is meant to be, it will be

Congratulations Sham1

By: Gelato Monster : May 1st, 2020-07:30

It is very beautiful and very clean.

Thank you for saying so!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-08:00

I thought so too and did not hesitate to press the order button immediately and had to back track as I had totally forgotten to check the dimensions of the watch!

Congrats, Sham!! [nt]

By: mj23 : May 1st, 2020-07:33

Thank you!!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-08:04

It is always nerve wrecking trying to order a limited production watch that sells out within 8 minutes on the internet.

That just shows you can type super fast!!

By: mj23 : May 1st, 2020-08:11

And without typos!!

You are too kind!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-08:31

But it just shows how desperate I was! Selling off 125 watches in 8 minutes is quite something though and these were more than three times the price of the GPHG award winning copper dial 17.06.

Their system

By: mj23 : May 1st, 2020-08:40

Is def much resilient to handle the load than US unemployment systems written in Cobol. 😉

Agreed :-)

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-08:44

I think for a mini independent, they will weather the storm much better than many other larger companies.

I love it. Congrats!

By: Swaye : May 1st, 2020-09:34

I have really warmed to the World Timer from Ming but just haven't been able to pull the trigger on a 12K watch from such a new brand. But I would have bought this one in a heartbeat (I always miss these LE sales). Congrats again. That thing is cool!

Thank you for your post!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-11:10

The world timer has a lovely movement that fills up the case back well. Look at it this way - it is one of the best value world timers in the market and pretty rare even though the watch is not a limited edition. How it fits your wrist though is an essent...

Congrats Sham

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : May 1st, 2020-09:38

May you wear it and enjoy it in the best of health

Thank you Mohannad!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-11:12

I look forward to receiving the watch between September and November this year and I am really hoping that this watch is a keeper!

Congratulation Sham

By: gcsk76 : May 1st, 2020-11:18

Nice simplicity watch.

Thanks SK!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-11:22

A watch that I do not really need but hey,, I love the dial, the case, the lugs, the strap and the movement and the size is perfect for me! Hope you are keeping well.

Congrats.... Lucky you! [nt]

By: nacelle : May 1st, 2020-21:01

Absolutely!

By: sham1 : May 1st, 2020-21:11

Thank you as it as was a test on one's typing speed and accuracy against hundreds of others on the website. Strangely though I know of a few loyal Ming customers who had decided not to place their order even though I thought this was one of Ming's nicest ...
