Our latest watch, the 29.01 Midnight is the stealthier, subtler alter ego of our popular Worldtimer - the Batman to Bruce Wayne if you will. Whether you’re on a covert mission, a solo pilot on a polar route, late for that rendezvous with a paramour or just a plain ol’ insomniac, the Midnight is for you.
The 29-series case showcases some of the best of Ming Thein’s case design and engineering - from the flying blade lugs to the bezel free, deep box sapphire crystal which all come together into one seamless, sculptural piece: and for the first time in DLC-coated grade 5 titanium.
This exercise in seamless transitions extends to the dials, yes two of them - the first is a rotating metal dial that carries the 24-hour markers which is overlaid by a sapphire dial that carries the city ring in luminous-ceramic filled and laser engraved channels.
The rear of the watch drops all pretense at subtlety however, thanks to Ming Thein’s redesign of the Schwarz-Etienne micro rotor automatic movement. The rose gold coated movement is airy, transparent and has lot of visual depth.
