Waitlisted shares his passion for the Ming 19.02 Worldtimer, detailing its photographic challenges and enchanting light interaction. Discover why this watch is a collector favorite.

Waitlisted shares his profound enjoyment of the Ming 19.02 Worldtimer, a watch that has rarely left his wrist since its acquisition. His post not only celebrates the timepiece's enchanting interaction with light but also delves into the rewarding challenge of photographing such a dynamic subject, crediting Ming's own guidance for his photographic skill.

I acquired my Ming 19.02 worldtimer more than a month ago now and it still hasn't left my wrist (except for photography sessions!). I'm enjoying it very much, needless to say. It also makes for a challenging, but rewarding, photo subject: the way this watch interacts and reacts with the light is incredibly enchanting, especially when seen in real life. Although I try to do my best to convey this magic in my photos, I can only manage to capture a small portion of it.

This watch is one of my favorite purchases in the past couple of years and I can't wait to see what the Ming team has in store next.

For those who are interested in the photography, I took this with a Leica M10-R and 90mm macro-elmar (combined with the macro-adapter-m)

Thank you Nico! I admit that a lot of my photography knowledge comes from Ming himself

I doubt that I could have achieved this level without his guidance
