Brand history
Ming has spent more than 9 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's 17 Series, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Ming Thein established Ming in 2017, working from Malaysia at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Ming calibre produced today.
