MING 17.09 Burgundy

Partially verified

The MING 17.09 Burgundy is a wristwatch produced by the independent watchmaker MING, founded by Ming Thein. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case with a polished bezel and a signed crown. Its distinctive dial displays a burgundy, stepped, textured structure. A key design element of this model is the absence of traditional dial-printed indices; instead, the indices and minute track are laser-engraved on the underside of the sapphire crystal and filled with luminous material, creating a floating effect. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW330 automatic caliber and is equipped with skeletonized luminous hands. It is supplied on a taupe-colored grained leather strap, which bears the collaborative branding of MING and Jean Rousseau, and is secured by a stainless steel pin buckle featuring the MING logo. The watch is described as being in outstanding condition.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in a 38mm stainless steel case, characterized by a polished bezel and a signed crown.

The dial is notable for its stepped, textured construction finished in burgundy. Lacking traditional dial-printed hour markers, the watch utilizes laser-engraved indices and a minute track, which are applied to the underside of the sapphire crystal and filled with luminous material to provide a floating visual appearance. The hands are skeletonized and include luminous material for visibility.
