History

MING, founded in 2017 in Malaysia by Ming Thein, reached a major milestone with the 37.07 Monolith marking five years — remarkable for a brand that went from zero to one of the most coveted names in independent watchmaking in half a decade. Each release built on the last, developing increasingly sophisticated dial techniques and movement partnerships. The Monolith's mosaic sapphire dial celebrates the artistry that became MING's defining trait — sapphire crystals layered to create depth and light play no photograph fully captures.
