Ming - 2022 17.09 Blue

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Ming 17.09 Blue is a marvel of independent design, offering a distinct visual language that’s become instantly recognisable among collectors. The deep metallic blue gradient dial is nothing short of hypnotic — richly layered, subtly fumé, and bordered by Ming's signature radial brushed chapter ring. Lume is cleverly printed on the underside of the sapphire crystal, giving the numerals a ghostly, floating appearance in low light — a signature flourish that underscores the brand’s commitment to innovation in detail.

At 38mm, the case feels compact and wearable yet visually impactful, thanks to the distinctive curved lugs and the interplay of polished and brushed surfaces. The overall feel is one of sleek modernity with a quiet confidence — a watch that stands out without shouting.

Beneath the surface beats a Ming-modified Sellita SW330.M1, an automatic movement featuring hours, minutes, and a hacking seconds function. While technically a GMT base, this version is simplified to time-only with a ghost position for the crown.
