History

MING was founded in 2017 in Malaysia by Ming Thein, quickly becoming one of modern horology's most talked-about independents. Releases sell out in seconds, with secondary prices reaching multiples of retail. Collaborations with Schwarz-Etienne and Agenhor provide technical credibility to match design prowess. The Phoenix chronograph — destro monopusher with color-shifting dial — combines unusual case orientation, single-button mechanism, and chromatic dial work into a piece that exists nowhere else in the horological landscape.
