Description

Part of MING’s 17-series entry-level watches, MING 2021 Blue evolves the true meaning of daily-wear timepieces. Made in Switzerland, it brings deeper functionality and contemporary design to the forefront, with a new laser-crafted sapphire filled with lume. Beneath the top crystal, the indices hone a stunning glow and a dreamy floating illusion. A wonderfully eclectic accent.

The dial is both elegant and sporty, showcasing a dual construction element with a striking Clous-de-Paris central pattern, bordered by a brushed outer ringlet. This design reflects light as it moves, bringing a captivating, sensorial touch. Perfect for daily wear, the 38mm watch displays a 315L stainless steel case, with unique twisted lugs. Its Jean Rousseau strap is also timeless, created in black alcantara and enhanced with handcrafted blue stitching.

Taking it a step further, MING has partnered with Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne to create a special independent jump hour complication, that automatically changes the hour hand using Sellita SW330-2. Exclusive to the market, one can only witness this on MING watches. This feature, coupled with a comfortable crown location on the case, ensures that the hour hand leaps forward on its own without affecting the gear train. It’s an excellent modification to have for travelers and for those who need to adjust to daylight savings. It’s also possible to adjust the hands all at once by placing the crown in the third position.

Additional exciting features are 100m water resistance aligned with triple crown gaskets, a 42-hour power reserve, and a hacking function. Each piece comes with a handmade leather travel pouch by Studio Koji Sato for the modern wearer.
