Cool watch, but that's a pretty penny.

If it was an RM, it would be $350,000. So there's that.
Congrats to Ming

I was able to see this watch yesterday a small MING event, and it was incredible. Also slightly disturbing to hold a watch, see it 'ticking', but feel almost nothing. The head of the watch (minus strap/buckle) does in fact weigh only 8.8g... which is lighter than two sheets of A4 paper.

Honestly, aside from a technical achievement I guess, I’m still not sure why it carries such a premium…many watches aren’t that heavy to begin with. Maybe I missed the point. Edit: The RM Ferrari is 30g, so much heavier actually. |

Cool accomplishment just not for me at all I hate the feeling of a super light watch.

Even if it were not good for anything else, the existence of Ming would be a very good example to illustrate this, who puts the same functions on a completely new basis and associates them with new modern feelings. |

At a bit less than 12 grams, Ming has a self-winder. :)
