Ming 27.02 Ultra Thin
Mings meteoric rise from micro-brand to fully-fledged independent powerhouse has been swift, and in our opinion well deserved. Their aesthetic is unlike any other, and provide a range of pieces from the quite affordable through to the recent run of higher end pieces, one of those being the piece we have here.
Released in 2021, the 27.02 is an evolution of the 27.01, which in-turn is an evolution of the first piece released by Ming, the 17.01. The 38mm case remains, but now measures in at a scant 6.9mm thick and has been lightened internally. This thinness comes from the use of a new-to-the-company ETA/Peseaux 7001 movement, that has been reworked by Shwarz-Etienne to Ming's own design, with only the original gear-train and escapement remaining.
The 27.02 builds on the 27.01 with the addition of a sapphire dial, featuring a blue Clous-de-Paris guilloche ring around the periphery of the movement. The markers are etched into the topside of the dial, while a gradient was added to the underside, causing the markers to appear to float over the dial. The 27.02 combines an avante-garde aesthetic with traditional watchmaking like few others can.
It comes mounted on a stunning handmade strap by Jean Rousseau Paris.
This particular piece was delivered in January 2022, and presents in TZ Near Mint condition. There's some minor swirlies and hairlines on the bezel, but that's about it. No nicks, dings, or dents present. Please see images for full condition details.
