August news wrap – Ming, Massena Lab and opening a PAM of worms

Aug 19, 2021

In this 100 per cent in-house production of OT:, Andy and Felix look back on the spicy cocktail that was August 2021 and provides some searing insight into the watch headlines. There are good news stories like a near-instant sell out of vintage pocket watches, a wee dram of anOrdain and Andy getting up to speed with the new Masenna Lab.

It’s not all so peachy, as issues like quality control over at Ming, as well as (more) drama around a decidedly not-in-house Panerai movement. And then there’s the question of what Chrono24 will do with 100 million euros and what that means for watch collecting. Exciting times.
