Having taken the independent watchmaking scene by storm, MING watches have become some of the most sought-after timepieces on the market, and the 27.01 is no exception. Launched in 2021 as MING’s thinnest design, the 27.01 features a stunning two-tone black sandwich dial with white indices and a concentric brushed finish. A beautifully weighted watch, the 27.01 features a 38mm x 6.9mm stainless steel cases that uses MING’s signature lug design, round profile and unique indices design to ensur that this timepiece will feel at home on the wrist of any MING collector. The 27.01 is a beautiful timepiece that packs an interesting blend of design continuity and fresh aesthetics that results in a watch that is both familiar and intriguing in equal parts.

The watch is in overall excellent condition. The stainless steel case has some surface scratches, especially behind the lugs, and a couple of dings on the bezel between four and five o’clock. The case back is very clean. The dial is pristine. The watch is fitted with a blue strap signed Jean Rousseau for Ming, with a Ming buckle. It comes complete with its box and papers.

An exceedingly well-executed timepiece, the 27.01 demonstrates MING's ability to expand on their established design language without pushing the envelope too far away from the aesthetics that have established them as a pillar within the independent watchmaking scene.
