The Dubai Files keep on giving, as this week we’ve got Felix’s chat with Ming Thein, the self-described Supreme Overlord of Horologer Ming, one of the most exciting and prolific young watch brands, who have racked up 62 references in only six years. Felix and Ming spend a lot of time chatting about the incredible new Ming LW.01, which Ming believes is the lightest mechanical watch ever made, coming in at 8.8 grams for the manual and 10.8 grams for the automatic. Beyond this incredible feat, they also discuss the joys and challenges of being a young, nimble watch brand in this day and age.
Closer to home, the big news is that Andy will be jetting off to his first-ever Watches & Wonders and is currently knee-deep in scheduling shenanigans. If you have any Geneva tips, let us know!
