What to know
The MING 57.04 Phoenix develops the independent’s fifth-generation design language into a left-handed monopusher chronograph. Its crown and single chronograph button sit on the case’s left side, while radial openings in the deeply dished grey dial reveal a multiphasic colour-shifting baseplate. Diamond-cut hands, the minute counter and crystal-mounted indices use luminous material to preserve MING’s signature after-dark appearance.

The 40mm steel case measures 11.85mm thick and 47.8mm lug to lug. Its stepped Art Deco lugs require nine separate components, allowing alternating brushed and polished surfaces, yet the watch remains water-resistant to 100 metres. The manual-wind Sellita for MING SW562.M1 provides roughly 60 hours of reserve. Production was limited to 150 watches, priced from CHF 6,250 on rubber or CHF 7,250 on the titanium Polymesh.
