MING
Horologer MING was founded by six enthusiasts under the leadership of Ming Thein, a photographer, designer, and above all, a lover of watches. Together, the MING team draws from extensive collecting experience ranging from vintage to avant-garde; from quality affordables to bespoke independents.
Our goal with MING has always been to make watches we ourselves want, and to bring back that sense of excitement and discovery through deliberation and refinement in every detail, while also delivering value beyond the price point.
We neither pretend to have history nor are we burdened by it.
MING is our way of sharing our experience with enthusiasts - budding aficionados and seasoned collectors alike - who want to discover watchmaking substance beyond just brand. We are proud to have our efforts recognized at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, with multiple finalists and the 17.06 Copper winning the 2019 Horological Revelation prize.
In 2021 we launched the Special Projects Cave to create experimental pieces that are concept-driven and unencumbered by regular production constraints, and in 2022, we marked our 5th anniversary, with the launch of our 50th reference.

A brief highlight reel of our recent watches and showcases some of our signature elements: radial symmetry, visual balance, interesting movement finishes, the liberal use of luminous material, and prioritizing legibility.
