The Watch
Here we have an Unworn 2022 Ming 37.05 Moonphase with a 38mm brushed stainless steel case, the thick flared scalloped lugs have a lug-to-lug length of 45mm and a case thickness of 12mm for an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, is a signed crown. The brushed smooth bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides, the multi-layered dial consists of a metal layer with a tight spiral pattern that has a dynamic gradient from midnight blue to black as seen in the night sky. The floating long-hour marks are laser etched to a sapphire layer and inlaid with HyCeram ceramic Super-Luminova, Ming's hands are infilled this time round with the cut-out Moonphase disc just underneath which has a luminance that moves in increments until it reaches a full moon and creates a circle, and at 6 o’clock a date window completes this stunning mesmerising dial. On the reverse a screwed-down exhibition case back, inside a Manually Wound Sellita for MING 288.M1. This modified movement by Schwarz-Etienne has incredible finishing with matte-blasted skeletonised components, anthracite-plating and Rhodium brushed accents making this watch magical on both sides. The watch comes fitted on its 20mm Black barenia leather strap by Jean Rousseau Paris with a keeperless signed buckle with micro-adjustment by moving the spring bar that holds the buckle pin up or down. The watch also comes with its Ming presentation box and paperwork plus a handmade leather travel pouch by Studio Koji Sato and an additional strap.
Personal Note
A Moonphase is always a wonderful complication, however, for me, the movement finishing is the highlight of this incredible watch! It is great to finally see a Ming with the date complication, the brand is now pushing its simplicity to the max and I suspect we are going to see some fascinating watches coming out of Ming in the next few years. I'd highly recommend booking a viewing to try this wonderful watch on.
