Brand history
Co-founded 2014 in Kuala Lumpur by Ming Thein, a professional photographer and collector; the first reference (the 17.01) launched in 2017. Thein's photographic eye for proportion and negative space drives the design language, applied to Swiss ETA/Sellita base movements finished and cased well above their stock grade. The only Malaysia-based brand currently in the catalog.
