The Ming Project 21 is praised as a machining tour de force and a favorite watch of 2025 for its innovative tantalum construction and vintage-inspired design. Reviewers highlight its comfortable, thin 35mm case and manual-winding movement. However, some find the small crown and dial/crystal index conflicts create legibility issues in bright light, and the watch is noted for its lack of luminescence. The Ming Project 21 is priced at CHF 32,500 and limited to 15 pieces. On balance, reviewers rate the Ming Project 21 highly for its innovative tantalum construction and thin, vintage-inspired design.
