Ming 19.05

Looks like Ming is about to drop another watch before the year comes to a wrap. This will be their last of the 19 series apparently. Limited to 15 pieces.

I’m wondering if avoiding credit card payments to opt for wiring is going to make it any easier or just complicate the whole thing even more

Concur



It seems that the accomplishment is acquiring, not a passion for the watch.

Cool watches. I like their minimalist aesthetic, especially on their thinnest version. But I need a seconds hand, which I believe is only on their diver’s watch, so Ming is a pass for me.

I want to like their pieces but at that price point there’s to much else in the market to consider...

Not a fan. I can't help but think Movado when I see one.

ming

ming brings a unique aesthetic that others do not and they are somewhat affordable. thier diver is a total departure but still fits the bill. can't wait to see what is up the sleeve.

I snagged one. True, there are a lot of options at this price point, but this isn’t something I’m going to run into anyone else wearing (and if I do I’ll high five the s*** out of them haha).
The movement is gorgeous, and I love the Tron-like lume

I just went to their website.
Astonishingly ALL SOLD OUT.

It's all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconveniences we have to deal with.
