Arise again, Sir Monopusher

The Iris – MING's first 57.04 – marked the start of the 5th generation with a colourful bang. It quickly became clear that 100 watches weren’t enough, and fortuitously we were already working on the follow-up.

After all, monopusher chronographs have become something of a core pillar for MING, and it was time we added one to our core collection.

We bid the MING 57.04 Phoenix welcome. This version of the 57.04 is a little more restrained than its flamboyant peacock of a cousin but still shows its colours underneath the deeply dished grey dial – radial cutouts offer a window to a baseplate treated with the same colour shifting multiphasic coating seen on the Iris.

 The watch has what we think of as tonal structure: mostly monochromatic, whilst remaining very three-dimensional, quite graphic and with pops of colours peeking through.

The dial is a study in texture and shadow, complete with curved sculpting, negative relief elements and a lot of depth. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Even the subdial has been redesigned to enhance this feeling, and as is our signature – everything carries luminous material, in both MING Polar White and Super-LumiNova X1.

The Phoenix is a destro monopusher chronograph with the crown and single button on the left side. It shares the uniquely configured Sellita for MING Cal. SW562.M1 now with a sculpted anthracite three-quarter plate to better match the dial side.

The movement offers ~60 hours of power reserve at full wind and a nice large crown for a tactile winding experience.

The 40mm stainless steel case is intricately detailed and a sculpturally modern take on Art Deco. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

It showcases our experience with complex, unconventional case construction especially in the multi-piece stepped lugs that allow for crisp definition and alternating brushed-polished finishing on adjacent surfaces which would be otherwise impossible.

 No fewer than 9 separate pieces are required for the lugs alone. Despite the complexity and crown pusher, it remains water resistant to 100m, making for an ideal daily companion.

It is available together with our FKM rubber strap in a new grey shade or our revolutionary MING Polymesh

MING Watches – 57.04 Iris Monopusher Chronograph Edition

MING Watches58.04 IRIS Monopusher Chronograph Titanium Limited Edition 2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Stepping into the fifth generation

August 2025 marks MING's 8th birthday: over 15,000 watches delivered, more than 8,000 collectors and friends, 75+ references, 3 design languages, 2 GPHG awards and a single, seemingly impossible dream.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Our new MING 57.04 Iris is an appropriately significant and landmark watch for the occasion: it debuts our 5th-generation design language, a creative evolution that has been in development for several years now, and is our first ever destro.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Our first generation was experimental – finding our feet and figuring out what our design codes would be. The second generation – maximalist, elaborate, ornate, and with hollow flying blade lugs. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The third generation shifted towards monobloc simplicity and minimalism with touches of ribbon surfacing. The fourth generation does not exist as a nod towards Asian superstitions – it was designed and consigned to stillbirth. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Our fifth generation is defined by a modern take on Art Deco: tightly sculptural with plenty of visual presence and restrained ornamentation. It is bold and unapologetic. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 It showcases our experience with complex, unconventional case construction and takes it to another level with our new stepped lugs that retain our signature flare, have 9 separate pieces to achieve a unique nested effect with crisply defined and differentiated finishing on each surface. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Look closely, and you’ll see the tops are polished, the sides satin brushed. This is not a watch that goes quietly into the good night. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The Iris’ stainless steel case is, by popular request, a larger 40mm size but remains carefully proportioned to be comfortable for all wrist sizes with a lug-to-lug distance of just 47.8mm. It has strong visual presence thanks to the alternating polished and brushed facets. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The visual presence extends into the night thanks to the laser cut and MING Polar White filled indices in the top crystal. With a 100m water resistance, it remains practical and well suited to daily wear. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

We chose our favourite complication for the 57-series debut: the monopusher chronograph. Since 2017, Ming Thein (MT) has wanted to make an accessibly priced chronograph but was limited by movement choice and case architecture. The 57-series case answered the latter, and our partnership with Sellita the former.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Together with Sellita, we developed a unique configuration and movement finish in the Sellita for MING Cal. SW562.M1. It is a destro with hand winding, central seconds, and a 30-minutes counter at 6 o’clock. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The destro configuration means MT could specify a large, tactile crown and pusher without concern for interference with the wearer’s wrist.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

It is topped off with a uniquely sculptural 4N coated three-quarter plate that contrasts beautifully with the rest of the anthracite movement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The watch really earns its name on the dial side: it isn’t just the deeply dished and fluted dial that you notice first, nor is it the floating indices, or the uniquely shaped chronograph minute counter disc that has sandwich style construction overflowing with luminous material. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

It’s the colour of the dial itself that is impossible to define because it’s in a constantly shifting dynamic state between turquoise and purple and all the transitionary shades of blue in between. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The effect is achieved with a multiphasic coating over a machined brass base. We call it ‘Iris’ because of its curvilinear radial pattern and the depth, intensity and dynamism of its colur.

MING Watches –20.01 Series 5 Chronograph Edition

MING Watches20.01 Series 5 Chronograph Titanium Special Edition 2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  
MING 20.01 Series 5
The topology of science fiction

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The level of detail in science fiction art and visuals never ceases to amaze us – imagining structures that don’t exist, for applications that are equally fictional and invented requires some serious creative thinking. It would be impossible not to take inspiration from these things at a deep subconscious level. The teleporting, deflecting, planet-destroying kind.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Outside a Hollywood or animation studio however, materials and construction for this kind of thing are equally imaginary and probably impossible with today’s technology. A fact that was reinforced when Ming Thein (MT) created a dial that looks like an object the entire plot of a science fiction film might revolve around, both figuratively and literally.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

A dial this unique requires an appropriately special watch, and naturally we looked to our 20.01 series of chronographs which has served as the launch platform for our most significant dial innovations to date.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Today’s release, the MING 20.01 Series 5, continues this tradition with what is probably the industry’s first dial that is laser milled from a single block of metal to create complex radial strakes that have interlocking surface contours in both vertical and horizontal planes.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This micromachined dial is then vapor coated an intense blue and subjected to another round of lasering to selectively remove coating from the top of the strakes, leaving bare titanium with a stonewashed texture. And if machining such fine contours and applying multiple colours and finishes was not difficult enough, MT decided to do all of this from a single block of titanium.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Completing the 20.01 Series 5 is the AgenGraphe by Agenhor - one of the most significant and sophisticated chronograph movements available today. It contains many advanced and unique features such as a central chronograph core; Agenhor’s proprietary backlash-free gears; proprietary horizontal clutch mechanism; instantaneous jumping minutes; snail reset cams; and proprietary regulation mechanism. It is presented here in a unique configuration to MING: manual wind, with 5N rose gold coated bridges, and polished anglage. A hard winding stop also gives tangible feedback once the mainspring is fully charged.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

All of this is housed in a hybrid 20-series case - the bezel, ‘flying blade’ lugs, caseback, and crown are in stainless steel; pushers are titanium and coloured to match the dial, and the caseband is in DLC titanium for contrast. Sized at 41.5x14.2mm to accommodate the AgenGraphe, it also provides the necessary space required to truly appreciate the dial. A variety of finishes and short lugs also ensure the watch wears and looks comfortable on a variety of wrist sizes.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The top sapphire crystal carries the indices and chronograph scales, which are laser etched and filled with our proprietary MING Polar White luminous material (which is one of, if not the only, material that glows pure white), while the hands have blue emission Super-LumiNova X1 for ideal contrast. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The 20.01 Series 5 is completed with a dark blue alcantara strap and a black FKM rubber strap fitted with our flying blade tuck buckle.

The MING 20.01 Series 5 is limited to 25 watches and priced at CHF 37,500 excluding taxes. It will be available from 1PM GMT on 24 June 2025 at www.ming.watch, or from our authorised retail partners.
