The Ming x J.N. Shapiro 37.06 Lightning is celebrated for its unique, heat-treated titanium guilloché dial, a result of a collaborative process with a high rejection rate, with only about one in three dials making it into a completed watch. Reviewers note its striking "Lightning guilloché" pattern and Ming's signature design elements like flared lugs and engraved crystal indices. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case and a manual-wind Sellita SW210.M1 movement. One reviewer suggests the stainless steel case could have been titanium to match the dial. On balance, reviewers praise the Ming x J.N. Shapiro 37.06 Lightning for its stunning and unique heat-treated titanium dial, despite the manufacturing challenges.
