First launched in 1973, the TV-shaped timepiece was one of Mido’s most iconic designs that gained traction among the watch enthusiasts. And this year, the Swiss brand brought the icon of the 1970s to new heights with the new interpretation of Mido Multifort TV Big Date. The latest creation is a marriage of the Multifort watch, which marked a watershed moment in the history of Mido, and its cult TV-shaped case. Decorated with a ravishing dial adorned with a captivating dégradé effect, the watch features a large date display at 12 o clock’s and Calibre 80.

To celebrate the arrival of the Mido Multifort TV Big Date, Mido has hosted a grand launch at Park Hyatt Hotel in Bangkok, accompanied by the attendance of big names including Mew Nittha, Matt Peranee, Mark Siwat Jumlongkul, March Chutavuth and none other than the brand ambassador Kim Soo Hyun. During the launch, we have caught up with the Korean star and talked about the new collection, his favourite Mido timepiece and more.
