Independent Swiss watchmaker, MING, has unveiled its first book, A Quest For All Positions<\/em>. The publication acts as a compendium of the first five years of its watchmaking, featuring over 50 references, alongside “much horological masochism and (mis)adventure.”<\/p>\n
Written by Jack Forster, Watchbox’s Global Editorial Director, the book is said to be filled with a variety of anecdotes, Easter eggs, lessons and other details that document the brand’s first five years.<\/p>\n
MING jokes that they couldn’t think of a better person to write the book than Forster, largely because he’s forgotten more about watches than most will ever learn but also because MING’s co-founder, Ming Thein or “MT,” has known Forster for over two decades.<\/p>\n
Looking at specifications, each book measures 30x30x4cm, weighs 3.5kg and encompasses 282 pages. In addition to Forster’s words and MT\u2019s pictures, there is also a complete collection of all the OneHourWatch\/ Lee Yuen Rapati for MING drawings ever made included in the book.<\/p>\n
The books are constructed with a linen-bound hardcover and come with a linen dustcover. Each is printed on sustainable materials by Artron Art Printing, published by Horologer Ming SA and limited to 500 first-edition copies — available for $284 USD via MING’s official site.
