MING embraces the thrill of horological innovation by reinventing the common wristwatch archetype through its unique design approach. Deviating from purely aesthetic participations, MING introduces a freshly refined Worldtimer complication, making its mark with the new 57.05 ‘Comet’ watch.
Under the creative direction of founder, Ming Thein, the 57.05 ‘Comet’ distinguishes itself from other world time watches by adopting an ergonomic feature that has long been a sore point for watch connoisseurs — observing daylight savings time. The conventional model of world time watches, which lets you read the current time anywhere in the world via a 24-hour disc and a reference city ring, traditionally fails to account for daylight savings time as well as the 30-minute differences in certain regions, like India.
Stepping into the spotlight, the Casio G-Shock 2500 Series - also known as the ‘CasioNaut’ - is a game-changer in affordable timepieces. Leaked by none other than the brand themselves and sporting an undeniable allure reminiscent of the Holy Trinity sports watch, the CasioNaut has truly piqued the interest of horology enthusiasts worldwide. However, this watch is far more than just a pretty face.
Unlike its predecessors, the 2500 is a purely analog G-Shock watch, shunning digital elements including screens and Bluetooth connectivity. The easy-to-read dial boasts a two-handed central time display along with a petite seconds subdial and a date display. Yet the CasioNaut is no regular time-and-date timepiece.
One of the unique features aboard this sleekly designed wristwatch is Casio’s unconventional Shock Release Hand system. Initially debuting on the GA-V01 in 2025, this system prevents minute hand displacement even under heavy impacts, ensuring undisturbed and accurate timekeeping.
