MING’s 57.04 Iris Introduces Its Very First Left-Handed Chronograph

Available now, the watch is limited to 100 examples

MING

To commemorate its eighth anniversary, independent watchmaker MING introduces a significant new model: the 57.04 Iris. This timepiece introduces the brand's fifth-generation design language and is its inaugural "destro" (left-hand) chronograph. The Iris is encased in a 40 mm stainless-steel housing, combining a robust visual impact with practicality for daily usage.

Under a domed sapphire crystal, a concave brass dial glistens with an iridescent “Iris” coating that transitions between turquoise, purple, and other hues of blue when light interacts with its surface. The case has a combination of polished and satin-brushed facets encircling the bezel and caseband, with laser-cut indices filled with MING’s Polar White luminescence seemingly suspended under the sapphire crystal. The stepping lugs, each consisting of nine meticulously crafted components, enhance the collection's sculptural Art Deco look. The Iris, featuring 100 meters of water resistance, is equally suited for office tasks or everyday excursions.

At its core is a custom Sellita Cal. SW562.M1 monopusher chronograph, modified for left-handed usage to have a substantial, tactile crown and pusher. A 30-minute counter at 6 o’clock utilizes sandwich-style construction to display Super-LumiNova, while a 4N-coated three-quarter plate offers a striking anthracite contrast.

The 57.04 Iris is restricted to 100 units and is priced at 6,250 CHF (about $7,768 USD), available through MING's website and approved partners.
