Unveiling the Secrets of the Animated Honeycomb Dial of the Ming x Massena LAB 57.09 Secret Honey Watch

Renowned independent watchmakers, Ming and Massena LAB have once again joined forces to create an innovative and enchanting timepiece - the 57.09 Secret Honey. Five years after their successful debut project, the duo returns as part of the Alternative Horological Alliance to delight horology enthusiasts with yet another awe-inspiring creation.\ The 57.09 Secret Honey watch not only features distinctive honey hues, but boasts a uniquely animated honeycomb motif on its dial, bringing life and novelty to its design. The dynamic dial celebrates complexity with layers of metal and sapphire that house rotating discs revealing a shifting honey hue. The creators have dubbed this fascinating effect as ‘dynamic guilloché’. An elaborate layering of apertures adds an ever-changing pattern to the dial.\ The Dark-brown base dial features three rotating sapphire disks with anti-reflective coatings. These rotate every 24 hours, 12 hours, and 60 minutes respectively, creating a captivating, constantly morphing interference pattern. The openings, coated in an orange-emitting Super-LumiNova or white-emitting MING Polar White, glow with a charming radiance, offering hour and minute indications.\ The watch also maintains a modern edge with its triple-stepped lug design and an impressive grade 5 titanium case that measures 40mm in diameter, 10.17mm in thickness, and 47.8mm from lug to lug. A polished, concave bezel and sapphire crystals on both sides offer a seamless finish. With an intricate design, playful patterns, and resilient build, the Ming x Massena LAB 57.09 Secret Honey offers an intriguing blend of longevity, luxury and innovation.
