Ming 51.01 Halo Debuts
Priced at CHF 10,900, the Ming 51.01 Halo is a 37mm dress watch limited to 150 pieces featuring a crystallised titanium case and a 2.7mm-thick movement.
Hodinkee reported that expectations for the brand are a fool’s errand because every release comes from the opposite direction. Monochrome-Watches.com reported that orders open on November 10, 2026, at 1:00 PM GMT at ming.watch and authorized retail partners.
Crystallised Titanium Construction
The case measures 37mm in diameter with an 8mm thickness and a 43mm lug-to-lug span, according to Hodinkee. Monochrome-Watches.com reported that the mottled surface texture results from heating the grade 5 titanium in a vacuum chamber to 1,200 degrees Celsius and etching it with acid.
Hodinkee noted that the material is subjected to a heat-treatment process to emphasize titanium’s naturally crystalline structure. Monochrome-Watches.com added that the case is coated in a 5N rose gold color to warm up the metal.
La Joux-Perret Movement
The watch runs on a modified La Joux-Perret calibre 7380.M1 manual-winding movement delivering a 90-hour power reserve, as reported by Monochrome-Watches.com. Hodinkee stated that the 3Hz movement is just 2.7mm thick and features extensive handwork, anglage, and varied black coatings on the bridges and mainplate.
Monochrome-Watches.com reported that the base movement is also used by sister company Arnold & Son.
Black Lacquered Dial
The black lacquered dial features a polished centre and circular-brushed periphery, paired with 5N rose gold-coated hands with brushed and sandbasted finishes, according to Monochrome-Watches.com. Hodinkee reported that the watch omits luminous material entirely.
Monochrome-Watches.com added that the watch comes on a black goatskin strap produced by Jean Rousseau Paris with quick-release spring bars and a crystallised titanium flying-blade buckle.
