MING Unveils the Exclusive Project 21 Timepiece

Luxury watchmaker MING has introduced its latest masterpiece, Project 21, a timepiece born from a unique creative challenge set forth by the brand’s founder, Ming Thein. The concept originated during an exclusive collector’s dinner in 2023, where Thein envisioned a watch crafted specifically for himself—one that would operate within practical limitations yet remain free from external constraints.

With ten dedicated collectors joining the initiative, Project 21 took shape as a true collaboration between design passion and horological craftsmanship. The foundation of this special edition is the Frederic Piguet 21, a movement renowned for both its historic significance and ultra-thin profile. First introduced in 1925, this movement remains an iconic feat of watchmaking, blending precision with elegance in a way few mechanisms can match.

The final result is a meticulously crafted timepiece that reflects Thein’s personal vision while maintaining the level of quality and refinement that MING is celebrated for. By merging innovation with traditional craftsmanship, Project 21 not only pays homage to classic watchmaking but also represents the essence of creative freedom in horology. While details on availability remain scarce, this exclusive creation stands as a testament to MING’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watch design.
