What to know

MING and Massena LAB have announced the 57.09 Secret Honey, a sequel to their 2021 collaboration. Three patterned sapphire discs rotate above a dark-brown base dial at different speeds, producing a changing honeycomb-like effect. Orange Super-LumiNova and MING’s Polar White material add contrasting luminous layers, while the 40mm Grade 5 titanium case has triple-stepped, differently coloured lugs.
