MING 29.01 Worldtimer
 

MING just teased a new watch here - https://www.ming.watch/journal/pre-l...-01-worldtimer

I love the sapphire sandwich case design of the 19 series, so I'll be curious to see how they evolved that design.

:cheers:

20.000 euro ???
Thanks and goodbye

Interested to see what it looks like. Probably not a buyer though.

was their lead time after the announcement usually a year? this just reminded me I put a deposit for a watch I don't even remember what I ordered....maybe I'm just a weenie but it's become harder to get excited for these releases that have a long lead time.

I hate the idea of putting a huge chunk of cash down only to wait at least one year. Sounds like I’m giving the watch company an interest free loan

You are! :dummy:

I think the Watch industry in general has lost the ground and mind with these prices

Curious to see this release but not putting my money in their safe

Hmmm, at $20k it'll be interesting to see why. Maybe enamel works and lots of hand decoration.

40mm by 11.9mm in titanium. First pic reminds me of the 5230P maybe because of the blueness. Movement comes from Schwarz-Etienne.

Price: CHF 19,500
Availability: Available for pre-order at 9 a.m. ET. Delivery beginning March 2024.
Limited Edition: 100 pieces

Why have GMT and London together? They are admittedly the same at times but currently we are in British Summer Time so London is GMT +01:00?

Would be better to just have London surely?

Interesting timepiece. The inner lugs look unique.

20k :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Remember the first Ming a couple of years ago? Something like 500? :dummy:

That's a no from me. Love the ambition though.

They're still available.

How about back-to-basics time only with Ming TRON classic dial for $2k? Or $1k with a good Seiko movement.

I think MING balances their higher end pieces (like this one) with a lot of excellent accessible pieces. The roughly $2k 17.09 is a fantastic watch, and the $3.5k 37.07 was very cool too.

While the first MING watch was technically the $900 MING 17.01, they followed that release with the first MING in their higher price tier, which was the roughly $7.5k MING 19.01 (https://watchesbysjx.com/2019/04/min...ch-review.html).

reminds me a bit of grand Seiko pushing their msrps to see how far they can go.

Still didn’t sell out

All gone now, according to the website.

Would love to see a 'reissue', love that dial config :thumbsup:

Hard pass

Plenty of choices of watches (including Rolex) at a price point of CHF19,500 where you don't need to put down 50% and wait 12 months.

They've done well to sell all 100 pieces on those terms.

I don’t see anything justifying that price :cheers:

It was written in their invitation email and it was readable on the website as long as the watch was orderable :read:

I think 17.02 and 17.03 came before the 19.01 at much more reasonable prices. 17.02 wasn’t even 2k, IIRC.

That blue dial is the best MING watch

One thing among others that puts me off is service availability. High prices on some models. Sameness?

20k for a ming, lol. That is nuts.

+1. Agree. Gs prices are going way to Hugh. Look at the new chrono for $13,700 smh.

Looks great, just wouldn't purchase at that price point.

Any know when they'll start fulfilling the 22.01 GMT Gilts? I know the Kyotos were delayed, but I assume the same for the Gilts?
