MING's Comet makes daylight saving time a mechanical worldtimer function

Worldtime watches invite a deceptively simple question: what happens when one city changes its clocks and another does not? MING addresses that complication in the 57.05 Comet with a patent-pending two-part city bezel. Locations that observe daylight saving time can be shifted one hour without moving those that remain on standard time. It is a distinctly practical innovation for anyone travelling across continents.

The technical idea sits within a watch unmistakably shaped by MING's fifth-generation design language. A 40mm steel case combines elaborate triple-stepped lugs with contrasting finishes, while the multilayered Comet Tail dial plays with moiré-like visual interference. An illuminated 24-hour worldtime ring distinguishes day from night and the sapphire crystal contains MING's signature luminous indices.

The automatic Sellita for MING 330.M2 movement offers roughly 50 hours of reserve, inside a 10.33mm-thick case rated to 100 metres. Limited to 200 pieces, the watch was announced with either a cobalt leather strap or the brand's 3D-printed titanium Polymesh bracelet. The most persuasive detail is that its unusual display tackles a real travel inconvenience, not complication for its own sake.
