I just got my order in for my first Ming (17.09) in the recent 'open' 10 min window (not number limited) batch of orders.

Ming mentioned they had around 2000 orders in!

Anyone else get in/anyone with general feedback on their Ming watch?

I went for the dark red. Very excited to get it (albeit in like 12 months)

 

Congrats. I didn't try ordering but a good friend of mine managed to snag one in the time limited slot after missing out on the numbered ones a day earlier.

 

Really interesting

 

Would like to see one - one day. Impressive !!!

 

Good lord that's gorgeous. On my radar now.

One day I'd love to get one of their pieces with the stained glass, I think the aesthetic is amazing. They were a bit more expensive... but probably reasonable value for the quality of the movement:

hello, i managed to snagged one of the 17.09 "numbered" ones - estimated time of delivery is in October.

Will be glad to share more pics when it is finally here!

 

without a doubt. i mean, just look at that micro rotor..

 

Is that what that is? I thought it looked like a micro rotor! I'm guessing they designed these movements completely in-house?

 

They went through a 3rd party for the movement (and I think the entire watch actually), Schwarz-Etienne https://www.schwarz-etienne.ch/en/movements/

I'm not an expert, but designing your own movement from scratch they say can cost millions at times, so I imagine it's financially impossible for a microbrand to do

 

Congrats! I got the burgundy too, in phase 3 ('10 min open window').

Did Ming say it was 2000 of each colour? Or 1000 blue, and 1000 burgundy?

Pretty happy to wait til next year, I'm in no rush honestly. Quite looking forward to this!

 

Interesting. Those are some pretty unique movements. I've never seen them before.

 

you guys might enjoy this!
