but I do not like text & graphics on the crystal and all unused holes in the movement.
Ming just launched the 19.02. Wow what a beautiful WorldTimer.
It is no secret that I'm a huge fan of Ming watches. They only celebrated their first anniversary a few months ago and just now they launched the second iteration in the 19 range. This time a World Timer automatic, the 19.02. And what a stunning beauty, faithful to their DNA with the stunning Schwarz-Etienne for MING Cal. ASE220.1 with micro rotor.
I already confirmed my order.

Agree it's a nice brand, with this WT they have again been able to create something original and good looking. Looking forward to seeing more from them! [nt]

Hope strap will last more than few weeks on this one
Also never been fan on Ming watches.
They look very cheap to me
Cheers

I wear my 19.01 very regularly and if I don't my wife does
And we are still using the strap that came with the watch, without any issues what so ever.
I tend to agree
Has a feel of being made out of plastic. I want to like it, but it feels cheap.
Not my cup of tea.
Good effort to move the brand to new complications, but I simply don’t like it.
I really like it
Hi,
I really like this and the 19.01. Whilst it is not cheap, the price is not unreasonable either. I have been tempted to pull the trigger on the 19.01 many times. However, my main concern with small independents is maintenance down the road. I know both the 19.01 and 19.02 uses Schwarz Etienne movements, which helps alleviate that issue somewhat. But these movements are unique to Ming and Schwarz Etienne isn’t exactly a large company either.
What are people’s’ thoughts on this matter? With many in the community collecting independents, what are their plans to mitigate future issues with maintenance?
Cheers,

Thanks for sharing this, Maltie
Definitely like how the world timer has been implemented here. Congratulations on your incoming, even if it’s only towards the end of the year 👍🏻👌🏻
They have their own design
but I do not like text & graphics on the crystal and all unused holes in the movement.
So I guess you don't like the Datograph either with its unused holes in the movement [nt]

I haven't noticed that
in this case it looks more like you have taken what you had lying down and picked the parts needed for this caliber instead of making a plate just for this caliber. The feeling is that it is a modified movement which I think feels a little cheap in a price range in which this watch is in.
Have to say I really like it. Still debating whether to pull the trigger or not... hmm [nt]
