Embrace the future of watchmaking with the Ming 57.04 Iris - A Must Have for Courageous Collectors

Highly acclaimed for their audacious and creative horological antics, independent watchmaker Ming is back in the limelight with the exciting launch of the 57.04 Iris. Since its original inception in 2017, the brand, led by the creative genius of designer and photographer Ming Thein, has presented a remarkable array of over 75 exclusive collections. Each piece masterfully explores and pushes the boundaries of watchmaking.

The 57.04 Iris, a limited edition timepiece, is no different. It marks Ming’s confident strut into its fifth-generation design era, bearing the brand’s first-ever ‘destro’ or left-handed watch. Touted as the most affordable chronograph Ming has ever crafted, it is constructed around a meticulously hand-wound Sellita movement. As is the Ming signature, the intrigue of the 57.04 Iris extends far beyond its mechanics; it is a veritable exploration of architectural finesse, colour theory, and continuous innovation.

Adding to the list of impressive attributes, the 57.04 Iris gets its moniker from an arresting color-shifting effect achieved with a multiphasic coating over a brass base. This results in a dynamic dial that can appear turquoise, purple, green, or orange depending on lighting and viewing angle. The dimensionality of the dial is augmented by a 30-minute chronograph counter at 6 o’clock that emits a mesmerizing luminous glow in the dark. With these thoughtful touches, Ming truly marries functionality with style
