SAVOIR FAIRE
Made in Switzerland, the creation fo the MING Polymesh is a time-intensive process.
Each Polymesh requires several hours of additive manufacturing, followed by careful finishing to remove surface burrs and layer lines left by the printing process. This finishing stage ensures the Polymesh articulates smoothly and feels soft against the skin.
The finished structure is surprisingly thin and fluid, yet extremely strong. Laboratory testing showed the Polymesh capable of withstanding nearly 1,000 newtons of tensile force, with the spring bar failing before the Polymesh itself in destructive tests.
EXPANDING THE POLYMESH ECOSYSTEM
The introduction of the straight spring-bar version represents a natural expansion of the Polymesh concept.
Because MING cases use curved lugs, the original Polymesh was designed specifically for these watches. However, the Polymesh is the only one of its kind and significant requests were submitted for a more universally compatible version.
This new version does exactly that and opens the Polymesh to the broader watch ecosystem. In doing so, it represents an unusual step: this is the first MING product created primarily to be worn on watches from makers other than MING.
ALTERNATIVE HOROLOGICAL ALLIANCE
The Alternative Horological Alliance is an alliance of similar-minded horological brands to support and promote independent watchmaking outside established, conventional structures. The AHA is committed to an independent, open and accelerative approach to watchmaking.
As a proud, member of the AHA along with Horologer MING, Massena LAB is excited to offer the MING polymesh bracelet to our network of friends and clients.
