Ming has introduced the 51.01 Halo, a dress watch featuring a new 37mm case made from crystallized titanium with a 5N rose gold-tone coating. This ultra-thin watch is powered by a modified La Joux-Perret Calibre 7380.M1, offering a 90-hour power reserve and a distinctive lack of luminous material.

The crystallized titanium is treated via a heat process in a vacuum chamber up to 1,200°C, creating larger crystal grains visible to the naked eye after an acid etching process.
The La Joux-Perret for MING Calibre 7380.M1 is a manually wound, 3Hz movement with extensive handwork, anglage, and black coatings on the bridges and mainplate.
The watch features a black lacquered dial and handset, with the 5N rose gold-tone finish applied to the hands and markers located on the underside of the crystal.
The 51.01 Halo comes on a black goat leather strap with 5N-coated crystallized titanium buckle.
The reviewer found the watch to be featherlight on the wrist and appreciated the metallic time scale effect on the underside of the crystal.
