The CIGA DESIGN Falcon Carbon Skeleton Watch does not rely on a traditional dial. Instead, it opens the watch completely - front to back - placing the movement at the centre of the design. The Carbon variant intensifies this by framing everything in a darker, more technical palette. Inspiration & Design The Falcon is built around the idea of tension held in place. Sharp case geometry, exposed mechanics, and open space work together to create a watch that feels alert rather than static. The design is less about symmetry and more about balance - between structure and void. This is where CIGA Design’s approach becomes clear: the watch is constructed as a system, not layered as separate elements. Dial & Case Details The 43.5mm case is defined by its open-worked lugs and balanced crown guards, giving it a distinct, skeletal frame. Surfaces are predominantly micro-sandblasted, contrasted with polished accents and chamfered edges that catch light selectively. The darker finish of the Carbon variant reinforces depth across these transitions. The bezel is built in layers, with recessed sections and raised markers forming a structured outer ring. A raised crystal adds vertical depth and draws the eye into the movement. With no traditional dial, the movement itself becomes the visual centrepiece - fully exposed and integrated into the watch’s architecture. Movement & Mechanics At its core is the self-developed Caliber CD-02. Running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 40-hour power reserve, the movement is designed to be seen as much as it is to perform. It is mounted within a transparent support structure that creates a floating effect - holding the movement in place while maintaining visible space around it. This reinforces the watch’s sense of openness and tension. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The Falcon is paired with a steel H-link bracelet featuring a hidden clasp for a clean, uninterrupted profile. Despite its presence, the watch remains relatively slim at approximately 11mm including crystal. The result is a piece that wears more comfortably than its visual complexity suggests. Final Impression The Falcon Carbon is the more assertive execution. Darker, sharper, and more architectural, it emphasises structure and contrast, making the design feel more technical on the wrist.

The CIGA DESIGN Hunter Silver showcases the collection's design philosophy in its purest and most versatile form. Defined by its architectural tonneau-shaped case, integrated bracelet and fully skeletonised display, the Hunter is a watch that celebrates mechanical transparency rather than concealing it. Every bridge, wheel and component forms part of the visual experience, transforming the movement from a hidden mechanism into the centrepiece of the design. Finished in silver, this version highlights the intricate details of the watch's construction while maintaining a refined and contemporary character suitable for both daily wear and special occasions. Inspiration & Design The Hunter collection draws inspiration from modern engineering, industrial structures and the exposed frameworks that define contemporary architecture. Rather than relying on decorative styling cues, its design is built around the honest expression of mechanical construction. At the centre of the watch is a skeletonised layout that allows the wearer to observe the movement in motion throughout the day. Structural bridges create depth and dimension while reinforcing the feeling of precision engineering. The tonneau-shaped case further distinguishes the Hunter from traditional sports watches, creating a silhouette that feels bold, modern and instantly recognisable. In silver, the design feels particularly balanced, allowing the intricate movement architecture to take centre stage. Dial & Case Details Rather than concealing the movement behind a conventional dial, the Hunter embraces transparency. The open-worked construction reveals the movement beneath, creating a layered visual experience that changes depending on the viewing angle and available light. The case measures 43mm × 48mm excluding the crown and is crafted from 316L stainless steel. Angular surfaces, exposed screws and faceted edges contribute to the watch's industrial aesthetic while maintaining a cohesive overall design. A sapphire crystal protects the dial side, ensuring excellent clarity and scratch resistance while preserving an uninterrupted view of the mechanics within. Movement & Mechanics Powering the Hunter is CIGA DESIGN's in-house developed CD-07 automatic calibre. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement incorporates 24 jewels and delivers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The skeletonised architecture allows the movement to become part of the visual identity of the watch. From the balance wheel to the gear train, key mechanical components remain visible, providing a constant reminder of the craftsmanship and engineering that power the timepiece. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The integrated stainless steel bracelet flows naturally from the case, creating a seamless transition that reinforces the Hunter's architectural profile. The bracelet design complements the geometry of the case while ensuring comfort during extended wear. At 12.1mm thick, the Hunter maintains a relatively slim profile considering its mechanical complexity. The curved case construction and articulated bracelet help the watch sit comfortably on a wide variety of wrist sizes, making it suitable for everyday use despite its strong visual presence. Final Impression The Hunter Silver represents the most versatile expression of the collection. Its combination of exposed mechanics, integrated bracelet styling and architectural case design creates a watch that feels contemporary without becoming overly aggressive. For collectors seeking a distinctive mechanical timepiece that stands apart from conventional sports watches, the Hunter Silver offers a compelling balance of innovation, craftsmanship and everyday wearability.
