This watch is sold out with deliveries complete. It will not be produced again. This archive is for reference and information only.

Please note that the Polymesh is produced in small weekly batches. We will deliver in the sequence of orders, and it may take up to 4-6 weeks to deliver your Polymesh.

When we introduced the MING Polymesh in October 2025, it immediately raised a simple question: what exactly is it?

It wasn’t quite a bracelet. And it wasn’t quite a strap, either. Polymesh combines the durability and tactility of metal with the flexibility of fabric. Produced entirely from grade-5 titanium through additive manufacturing, the structure flows like cloth while retaining the density and strength expected from a metal bracelet. It was the world’s first 3D-printed titanium bracelet-strap hybrid.

Now, we’re introducing a new version that expands the idea beyond our own watches. The Polymesh - Straight retains the same architecture and manufacturing process as the original but replaces our signature curved spring bars with conventional straight spring bars. This allows the Polymesh to be fitted to a near-universal range of watches with 20mm lug widths. For the first time, the MING Polymesh exists independently of the watches that inspired it.

At first glance, the Polymesh appears simple. In reality, it is an extremely complex structure. Each MING Polymesh - Straight contains 1,742 interconnected elements, all printed simultaneously in grade-5 titanium. These elements form a continuous closed-loop topology with no pins, screws, or traditional assembly. Even our signature integrated tuck buckle and its articulated tang hinge are created during the same manufacturing process. The only components added after are the quick-release spring bars. This construction would be impossible using conventional machining.

Instead, Polymesh is produced through powder-bed laser sintering, a form of additive manufacturing in which successive layers of titanium powder are fused together by laser. During production, over a thousand layers of powdered titanium is sintered to form a single Polymesh. The tolerances between moving components can be as tight as 30 microns, smaller than the width of a human hair. Managing these clearances is critical: too close and the links fuse together, too wide and the articulation loses its intended fluidity. The result is a structure that behaves differently from both traditional bracelets and straps. The extremely small links allow the Polymesh to conform naturally to the wrist, while the grade-5 titanium construction retains the cool density and tactility of metal. The goal was simple: combine the strength of a bracelet with the comfort of a strap.

Producing the MING Polymesh is a time-intensive process. Each Polymesh requires several hours of additive manufacturing, followed by careful finishing to remove surface burrs and layer lines left by the printing process. This finishing stage ensures the Polymesh articulates smoothly and feels soft against the skin. The finished structure is surprisingly thin and fluid, yet extremely strong. Laboratory testing showed the Polymesh capable of withstanding nearly 1,000 newtons of tensile force, with the spring bar failing before the Polymesh itself in destructive tests.

The introduction of the straight spring-bar version represents a natural expansion of the Polymesh concept. Because our cases use curved lugs, the original Polymesh was designed specifically for MING watches. However, the Polymesh is the only one of its kind and we’ve had significant requests for a more universally compatible version. This new version does exactly that and opens the Polymesh to the broader watch ecosystem. In doing so, it represents an unusual step: it’s the first MING product created primarily to be worn on watches we did not make.
