CIGA DESIGN

The CIGA Design Blue Planet II takes the original idea and refines it. The concept remains the same - a rotating Earth replacing traditional hands - but the execution is more considered. Proportions are improved, and the overall watch feels more balanced on the wrist. It is still unconventional, but easier to wear. Inspiration & Design The design is built around a single idea - representing Earth as a system in motion. At the centre of the dial is a three-dimensional globe that rotates continuously, replacing the role of traditional hands. Time is read against a fixed indicator, turning the display into something spatial rather than flat. The case and dial are designed to support this concept, with clean geometry and controlled proportions that keep the focus on the rotating Earth. Compared to earlier executions, this version focuses on proportion and wearability. The overall result feels balanced and intentional, allowing an unconventional display to remain clear and wearable. Dial & Case Details The three-dimensional Earth remains the focal point, rotating continuously as the primary time display. Surface detailing is controlled and legible, with clear separation between elements. Compared to earlier versions, the overall presentation feels more balanced and less visually dense. The stainless steel case introduces a more familiar material, making the watch feel grounded and durable for daily use. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the Blue Planet II is CIGA Design’s Asynchronous-Follow Movement Technology, an innovative mechanical system that reinterprets how time is displayed. Unlike traditional watches that rely on separate gears for hour and minute hands, this mechanism pairs a stationary hour dial with a dynamic minute dial on the same plane. The hour indication moves through a 30-degree arc, while the minute indication completes a 390-degree rotation. This refined mechanism builds on the concept introduced in the original Blue Planet, offering smoother interaction between the hour and minute displays while preserving the collection’s distinctive single-point time indication. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability Despite its unconventional dial design, the Blue Planet II remains comfortable and practical for everyday wear. Its balanced proportions and ergonomic case ensure that the watch sits naturally on the wrist. The sculptural dial also provides a constant point of visual fascination, making the watch as engaging to observe as it is to wear. Final Impression The Blue Planet II does not reinvent the concept - it refines it. By improving proportions, materials, and overall balance, it makes the idea more accessible without losing what made it distinctive. For those who like the Blue Planet but want something more wearable, this is the natural choice.

Inspired by humanity’s first step on the Moon, the CIGA Design Moonwalker transforms a defining moment in history into a bold mechanical timepiece. The CIGA Design Moon Walker presents time as a journey rather than a display. A miniature astronaut moves steadily across a lunar landscape dial, marking each passing minute through motion - turning timekeeping into something to observe, not just read. Inspiration & Design Inspired by space exploration, the Moon Walker transforms the dial into a lunar surface where time unfolds through movement. Instead of traditional hands, the watch uses a moving astronaut to indicate minutes, creating a continuous visual narrative. The design remains controlled and intentional, allowing the concept to stay clear and legible while still feeling imaginative. Hidden within the lunar surface are quiet tributes to Apollo 11. These details - including the historic landing coordinates and the moment the mission touched down - are intentionally subtle, designed to reward careful observation rather than announce themselves immediately. This approach reflects the watch’s broader philosophy: discovery through detail. Dial & Case Details The Moonwalker dial is micro-engraved with extraordinary precision, reaching tolerances of 0.03mm to reproduce the topography of the Moon. Instead of traditional hands, time is indicated by a miniature astronaut figure that orbits across the lunar surface. The astronaut replaces conventional hour and minute hands, turning the act of reading time into a poetic mechanical gesture. Each astronaut is cast in copper before undergoing a meticulous finishing process involving polishing, sandblasting, and silver coating. The complexity of the finishing results in a relatively low production yield, highlighting the craftsmanship involved. Encasing the dial is a polished titanium case, chosen for its strength, light weight, and modern aesthetic. Movement & Mechanics Powering the Moonwalker is the Swiss-made CD-09 automatic movement, incorporating CIGA Design’s Asynchronous-Follow Technology. Unlike conventional watch mechanisms where the hour and minute hands rotate uniformly, this system allows the hour and minute components to move independently. This creates a centralised time display that feels fluid and intuitive once understood. The result is a mechanical display that mirrors the concept of orbital motion, reinforcing the watch’s lunar theme. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability Despite its futuristic concept, the Moonwalker remains surprisingly comfortable on the wrist. The titanium case keeps the watch lightweight, while its lug-free integrated design allows it to sit naturally and securely on the wrist. The sapphire crystal enhances the depth of the dial while maintaining visual clarity. Paired with a black silicone strap, the watch balances bold design with everyday practicality. Final Impression The Moonwalker represents one of the most conceptually ambitious watches in CIGA Design’s lineup. By transforming the Moon’s surface into a functional mechanical display, the watch merges storytelling, design experimentation, and mechanical engineering into a single object. For collectors drawn to watches that explore new ways of presenting time while remaining rooted in mechanical tradition, the Moonwalker offers a compelling and imaginative interpretation of modern watchmaking.

The CIGA Design Time Cipher invites a different way of reading time - not through static numerals, but through motion that gradually reveals itself. At its core is a wandering-hour display set against a Super Black dial, creating a watch that encourages a slower, more deliberate interaction with time. Inspiration & Design The wandering-hour complication traces its origins back to 17th-century night clocks and early pocket watches, before being reinterpreted by modern independent watchmakers. The Time Cipher distils this history into a restrained, contemporary form. Rather than layering complexity, it focuses on a single controlled gesture: motion that quietly reveals the passage of time. A central wandering assembly traces the minutes, while a rotating disc reveals the hour against a fixed reference point - allowing time to unfold fluidly rather than in rigid increments. Dial & Case Details At the centre of the dial, the wandering mechanism sweeps the minutes across a defined arc. The partially skeletonised minute arm is finished with Côtes de Genève, while the hour disc combines openworked architecture with alternating polished and satin surfaces. The dial itself is finished in Super Black, absorbing up to 99.3% of light. This creates a near-total visual void from which the motion of the display emerges, enhancing contrast and legibility. Raised, CNC-engraved minute indices catch light subtly at the edges, guiding the eye inward toward the moving elements. The stainless steel case offers a clean, balanced frame - defined by clarity and understated elegance. A slim 11.8mm profile, lug-less architecture, and domed sapphire crystal further enhance the sense of depth and refinement. Movement & Mechanics Powering the Time Cipher is the CD-08 calibre, a self-developed automatic movement based on the Miyota 9000 architecture. Re-engineered to support the wandering-hour complication, it maintains reliability while enabling the smooth progression of the display. The result is a stable mechanical rhythm that complements the watch’s contemplative time display. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability Despite its conceptual display, the Time Cipher wears comfortably. The lug-less case allows it to sit naturally along the wrist, while the slim profile keeps the overall presence refined. In stainless steel, the watch feels more neutral and versatile - balancing its unconventional display with a familiar material execution. Final Impression The Time Cipher in stainless steel presents a clear and considered interpretation of the wandering-hour complication. It balances mechanical heritage with modern restraint, offering a design that reveals itself gradually over time.Technical Specifications Technical Specifications Case size: 45mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Sapphire exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house movement CD-08 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Super black; integrated wandering hour display with SuperLuminova on the hour and minute discs Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Black fluororubber Buckle: Hidden clasp Warranty: 2 years
