Last night was the grand opening party for my exhibition of fine art watch photography at Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Pending any unforeseen changes, the images should be up for the next month on the first (Adorn) floor, and were co-sponsored by Jaeger Le-Coultre and Leica. Some images from the launch party follow.
For my KL readers, I’ll also be on radio – a short interview – on Friday, 4th May at 1.45pm on BFM 88.9. For everybody else, there’s a podcast on bfm.my. MT
Sorry, no POTD today – was trying to rush these out for today’s post.

Brilliant Works!
Thanks Darren!
Congrats! Well done. I hope to drop by the exhibit before end of this month. Btw strange they serve fresh coconut for the opening 🙂
Thanks! The landlord is being a bit difficult, so it’s only staying up for another week and a half – so if you make it down, please do so soon!
Amazing Ming! Congratulations!
Thanks Gustavo!
Great work MIng! Maybe one day you can exhibit your work here in Manila. Lots of horologists here as well who would appreciate your marvelous work.
Thanks Tim. If you know of anybody who could help, I’m sure we could try to arrange something!
Hi Ming, Congrats! Cracking suit you wore; looks like a good Moire test candidate for your new D800E. LOL
Tim
Haha thanks Tim. It’s definitely crisper, but there’s also clear moire (as expected). I’ve got a great tailor here btw – if you’re ever in KL, let me hook you up.
All i can say is, HOLY MING! 🙂
Grats, buddy. I look forward to the guided tour this weekend.
Thanks – the exhibition is a bit smaller (long story, sigh, Starhill being difficult) but yes, see you this weekend.
By the look of the photos ,the opening was a grand affair and a smashing success. Congratulations, you earned it.
Thank you!
Adding my thoughts to the many others, congratulations for the much deserved recognition of your excellent work.
Thanks Robert!
All I have to say is: congratulations!
I’m a big fan of your work and I loved to see (even by the internet) the big prints with huge quality.
Thanks Daniel!
Congratulations, will try to visit next time I am back in KL !
Thanks – I hope it’ll be up for the whole month, just heard this morning there may be some issues with the space…
