Six frustrated collectors, including Ming Thein, agreed that the watch market had grown old and lacked a sense of discovery. From this agreement emerged the brand, which is now led by Ming Thein – a photographer, designer, business strategist, and above all, a passionate watch collector. Together with the founding team, he draws on more than eighty years of collective collecting experience, ranging from vintage classics to avant-garde experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMing Thein grew up in Kuala Lumpur and earned a degree in theoretical physics from Balliol College, Oxford, at the age of just sixteen. Before dedicating himself fully to professional watch photography for leading Swiss brands, he held a number of senior management positions. MING does not manufacture watches in its own manufacture in the traditional sense, but collaborates with a select group of Swiss suppliers who provide component manufacturing, assembly, regulation, and testing. The finished pieces then travel to Malaysia for final quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduction and assembly take place in Switzerland, while design, engineering, and final quality control occur in Malaysia. The brand's horological partners include Agenhor, La Joux-Perret, and Sellita, as well as specialists outside the industry such as Helfenstein Mechanik or Degrees of Freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unusual combination of aesthetics and technical craftsmanship has brought the brand a number of awards, including the Horological Revelation Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève 2019 and the Sports Watch Prize at the GPHG 2024. For a brand without centuries of tradition behind it, this is a remarkable achievement and clear evidence that there is still room for a different way of thinking in the world of independent watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MING","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":59310449262940,"sku":"MPS-WATCH-MING-POLYMESH-STRAIGHT","price":50000.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5479\/2540\/files\/69e5f7d15e79ed9ab174fabb_907X_B0008314_jpg.webp?v=1790686739","url":"https:\/\/www.infinitywatches.cz\/en\/products\/ming-polymesh-20mm-straight-regular","provider":"INFINITY Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
