Winning model: The 17.06 Copper model was awarded the ‘Horological Revelation’ Prize.
FOR a venture that started as a jest among friends, the team behind local watch brand MING has, in many ways, taken their plans forward in all seriousness.
So much so that the company has managed to clinch an award at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in Switzerland – akin to the Pulitzer Prize in journalism or the Oscars in movie making – just two years in. Its 17.06 Copper model was awarded the “Horological Revelation” Prize.
