The (Stealthy) Essence of MING

Limited Production: 100 Annually.

A stealthy, DLC-coated, mixed matte and brushed finished edition of the 37.02 Minimalist with a restricted annual production to balance accessibility and exclusivity.

Like most of MING's new watches, the 37.02 Monolith is assembled at the brand's own facility in Switzerland, but paradoxically carries no ‘Swiss Made’ mark as all the key engineering and development work is done by Ming Thein (MT) out of our Kuala Lumpur office. (And Swiss Made regulations require the engineering to be done in Switzerland).

Our proprietary MING Polar White luminous material is also prepared personally by Ming Thein in Kuala Lumpur, using an internally developed process and formula. Featured in the sapphire dial of the Monolith, its name comes from the fact that it emits in all wavelengths and is therefore one of the very few (if not the only) luminous materials to truly glow white.

The dial is dynamic in the way that only sapphire can be – it inverts, glows, reflects seemingly floating markers, or sucks light like a black hole depending on the angle. It is legible, balanced, and has visual tension without being symmetric. All dial markings are laser cut channels into the sapphire dial and then liquid filled with MING Polar White. MING left the hands traditional Super-LumiNova X1 Blue for relative contrast.

The Monolith’s case has a narrow bezel for visual punch and mixed brushed-matte blasted finishes for texture. It is sized at 38x11mm in stainless steel, with a hard-wearing anthracite DLC coating. It wears visually larger and thinner than its dimensions suggest yet remains comfortable on a wide range of wrist sizes. For everyday resilience, it is double gasketed with a 100m water resistance and is powered by a Sellita for MING SW300.M1 with unique skeletonized anthracite bridges, plates and rotor.

In response to feedback and popular demand from the Uni launch, and to best prepare the Monolith for the summer, MING has paired it with their new Mango FKM rubber strap with matching, DLC coated tuck buckle.
