Horologer MING - MING x MASSENA LAB 17.09 BLACK

The MING x Massena LAB 17.09 is our first ever collaboration and marks a partnership between two friends and colleagues: Ming Thein and William Massena.

The watch is based on our 17.09 and features a new, intricate, hexagonal honeycomb dial surrounded by a circularly-brushed ring. The hours, which appear to float above the dial, are etched into the underside of the crystal and filled with Super-LumiNova for increased visibility in low light.

The case is constructed from polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, and remains a very versatile and wearable 38mm by 10mm. A honeycomb pattern is etched on to the caseback, to echo the dial and encircles the Massena LAB logo.

The 17.09 Massena LAB is powered by our Cal. 330.M1, a modified version of the Sellita SW330-2, developed with Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne. It features an independent hour hand adjustment mechanism which makes it an ideal watch, when travel resumes globally.
