MING steps into the integrated-bracelet arena with the 56.00 Starfield, a fifth-generation design that treats comfort as the core engineering brief, not an afterthought. The brand builds that promise around progressive multi-axis curvature, curved links, and a higher pivot point so the bracelet hugs the wrist without gaps or pinch points.
MING fits a seamless sapphire box crystal over a 1.7mm-thick sapphire dial, and it revives the brand’s proprietary sapphire Mosaic with a three-dimensional structure created inside the crystal by internal laser work. It adds blued hands filled with Super-LumiNova X1, then pairs them with crystal-set indices and a mix of MING Polar White and Super-LumiNova X1 for night legibility. MING also cuts the indices into the top crystal with laser work and fills them with MING Polar White, so the brand effectively “prints” part of its dial architecture into the crystal itself.
MING partners with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier and uses the Vaucher for MING Cal. 3002.M1, which delivers automatic winding and an approximate 50-hour power reserve. Monochrome notes a twin-barrel architecture and a 4Hz beat rate, which fits the watch’s thin 9.7mm profile brief while keeping the time-only layout clean. The Starfield earns its name on the reverse: MING couples a proprietary rotor to a luminous “Starfield animation” so the stars streak and blur during winding, either from rotor motion or with the crown in winding position.
MING builds the case in mirror-polished 316L stainless steel and holds the dimensions at 40mm in diameter and 9.7mm thick. It fits sapphire crystals front and back with double-sided anti-reflective coating, and it rates the watch to 100 metres of water resistance. A HyCeram luminous insert sits in the case as a visual counterweight and as a nod to the brand’s earlier HyCeram explorations. MING also treats the bracelet as a technical component: it introduces a patent-pending, tool-less resizing system with a positively locking slider on each removable link, and it integrates a second patent-pending micro-adjustment system into its thinnest push button clasp. That clasp delivers 5mm of total on-the-fly adjustment in 1.25mm steps, and it does so from both sides at up to 2.5mm per side.
The 56.00 Starfield reads like a full-system design exercise, where MING links dial architecture, case geometry, and bracelet mechanics into one continuous object rather than a case that simply accepts a bracelet. MING limits this Special Project launch edition to 20 pieces and sets the price at CHF 19,500 excluding taxes, with availability from 1PM GMT on 10 February 2026 via MING and selected authorised retail partners. MING also ships it in new packaging designed by the brand and produced by Royal Selangor, the Malaysian pewter maker established in 1885.
