MING Project 21

In 2023, during a memorable dinner for our collectors in Singapore, Ming Thein (MT), was handed a challenge: how would a watch designed entirely for himself, within feasible limits, but free of any other constraints look? Could something like that ever be made? And would he make an edition for the collectors at the dinner?

On the face of it, this was an odd question as the first filter for anything we create at MING is that we must like it. However, there are some commercial considerations that are taken into account – for instance, it would be impossible to have a bespoke, extra-flat, hand finished movement in an entry level piece.
