I spent some time with the MING 17:06 copper. In short, this is an odd-looking watch, it's really not my "style", but this is a big hit with among watch enthusiasts, watch geeks, and having spent some time with this, I can see why the geek ones like it.
MING is a young brand, but they already have their own style and their watches are very recognisable. I think that's the most impressive thing about MING. Nearly as impressive as this only costing £1,000.

MING is a horological collective formed and fully funded by six enthusiasts from around the world under the leadership of Ming Thein, a photographer, designer, business strategist and above all, a lover of watches. Together, the MING team draws from over 80 years of total experience collecting fine timepieces – ranging from vintage to avant-garde; from quality affordables to six-figure commissioned independent pieces.
Our goal with MING is to bring back a sense of excitement and discovery through watches that show considered deliberation and refinement in every detail, while punching far above their pricepoint. We neither pretend to have history nor are we burdened by it; we make watches as we see fit and would want to have in our own collections. We will be the first to admit that we don't manufacture in-house, rather our watches are built on the strength of dedicated partners like Manufacture Schwarz Etienne and Jean Rousseau Paris. All our watches are assembled, regulated and tested in Switzerland, with final quality control done personally in Malaysia.
MING is our way of sharing our experience with enthusiasts who want to discover watchmaking substance beyond brand, for budding aficionados and seasoned collectors alike.
