Created for the 65th anniversary of China’s first ascent of Mount Everest, the CIGA DESIGN Everest China commemorates the 1960 expedition that became the first to reach the summit via the North Ridge. At the centre of the watch is CIGA DESIGN’s first automaton complication. A miniature mechanical scene recreates the climbers’ efforts at the Second Step, where Liu Lianman used his shoulders as a foothold to help his teammates overcome the near-vertical obstacle. Driven by CIGA DESIGN’s self-developed CD-10 automatic calibre, the climbing figure advances towards the summit, reaching it at 12:00 and 00:00 each day. It then returns to its starting position over approximately five minutes before beginning the cycle again. Inspiration & Design On 25 May 1960, three members of the Chinese expedition reached the summit of Everest, completing the first successful ascent via the North Ridge. The previous day, the team had encountered the formidable Second Step at approximately 8,700–8,750 metres. When repeated attempts to overcome it failed, climber Liu Lianman offered his shoulders as a foothold, helping his teammates continue upward although he would not ultimately reach the summit himself. The Everest China translates this moment into miniature mechanical form. Liu and his teammates are represented at the Second Step while the moving figure above them continues towards the summit. The historical references extend throughout the watch. Its hour and minute hands take their form from mountaineering ice axes, while the 65th Anniversary relief commemorates the 1960 ascent. Liu Lianman’s words are engraved on the caseback, and the historic climbing route is reproduced across the strap. Dial & Case The dial is made from genuine Everest bedrock collected at the mountain’s foothills by the CIGA DESIGN team. Because of the brittle nature of the material, CIGA DESIGN uses a production process spanning approximately 30 days. The rock is cut and laser-shaped to establish its form before CNC engraving brings out its natural grain. Variations within the stone make each finished dial inherently individual. The black rock surface forms the backdrop for the miniature climbing scene, with ice-axe-inspired hour and minute hands positioned above it. Swiss Super-LumiNova C1 is applied to the hand tips and 65th Anniversary relief. Rather than placing conventional indices around the dial, finely engraved notches and the sculpted edge of the case combine to form the hour markers. The 45mm case is constructed from Grade 5 titanium, with a multi-stage finishing process involving cutting, engraving, etching, sandblasting and hand polishing. A raised sapphire crystal protects the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement The Everest China is powered by the CD-10, an automatic mechanical movement developed by CIGA DESIGN specifically to incorporate the watch’s automaton display. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour / 3Hz, the movement uses 21 jewels and provides approximately 42 hours of power reserve, with a stated accuracy of -10/+30 seconds per day. Beyond conventional hour and minute timekeeping, the CD-10 powers the climbing automaton. The figure reaches the summit twice daily, at 12:00 and 00:00, before returning to its starting position over approximately five minutes. Bracelet / Strap The Everest China is fitted with a black fluororubber strap that continues the story beyond the watch itself. Embossed into its surface is the historic climbing route, tracing the ascent from the 5,200-metre base to Everest’s 8,848.86-metre summit, together with the 65th Anniversary emblem. The strap is secured by a 316L stainless-steel push-button hidden clasp. Final Thoughts The Everest China is more than a commemorative watch with Everest imagery applied to it. Its bedrock dial physically connects the watch to the mountain. Its automaton recreates a defining moment from the 1960 ascent. Even the hands, indices, caseback and strap have been designed around elements of the expedition. That coherence is what makes the watch particularly compelling: the mechanical complication isn't simply there for spectacle. It exists because movement is fundamental to the story being told. In 2025, that connection came full circle. A mountaineer and longtime friend of CIGA DESIGN took the Everest China up the North Ridge and reached the 8,848.86-metre summit at 10:30am on 24 May 2025, with the watch on his wrist.

The CIGA DESIGN x Label Noir Black Star Edition reimagines the award-winning Blue Planet through a darker and more mysterious lens. Created in collaboration with Swiss customisation house Label Noir, the Black Star shifts the narrative from Earth to the vastness of space, exploring how time might be perceived beyond our familiar world. Combining a Swiss automatic movement, an extraordinary three-dimensional dial and a striking monochromatic aesthetic, it is a watch that challenges conventional notions of both design and timekeeping. Inspiration & Design Where the original Blue Planet celebrated our home planet, the Black Star looks outward. Inspired by black holes, distant galaxies and the forces that shape the universe, the watch transforms the dial into a miniature cosmic landscape. At its centre lies a dramatic black hole pit measuring 8.5mm deep. Finished in an ultra-black coating capable of absorbing more than 99% of visible light, it creates the illusion of a seemingly endless void. Surrounding this dark centre, hand-painted stars and swirling galactic textures evoke the movement of celestial bodies across space. The collaboration with Label Noir brings a distinctly monochromatic character to the design. Known for its mastery of contrast and understated luxury, the Swiss atelier strips away unnecessary colour, allowing texture, depth and form to become the focus. The result is a watch that feels both futuristic and contemplative. Dial & Case Details The Black Star's dial is unlike anything found in traditional watchmaking. Rather than relying on a flat surface, it uses sculptural depth to create an immersive visual experience. The central black hole draws the eye inward, while the surrounding cosmic textures create the impression of a galaxy viewed from above. A luminous polar-star-shaped indicator travels around the dial, providing intuitive time reading while reinforcing the celestial theme. Carefully integrated luminous elements ensure visibility in low-light conditions while adding another layer of visual intrigue. The case is crafted from Grade 2 titanium and finished with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Lightweight yet exceptionally durable, titanium provides outstanding comfort on the wrist while the DLC treatment enhances scratch resistance and contributes to the watch's rich monochrome appearance. Movement & Mechanics Powering the Black Star is the Swiss-made CD-04-S automatic movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the calibre incorporates 26 jewels and delivers a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The movement also features CIGA DESIGN's proprietary Asynchronous-Follow Technology. Unlike traditional displays where separate hands rotate independently, the system allows the minute ring and hour display to move in a coordinated sequence around the dial. This unconventional approach creates a fluid and highly intuitive method of displaying time while reinforcing the watch's sculptural character. The result is a time display that feels less like a traditional instrument and more like a dynamic mechanical system in motion. Strap & Wearability Despite its dramatic appearance, the Black Star is designed for everyday comfort. The lightweight titanium construction significantly reduces wrist fatigue, while the integrated strap system creates a seamless transition between case and wrist. The balanced proportions and ergonomic design ensure that the watch remains comfortable throughout the day, allowing the wearer to enjoy its visual complexity without sacrificing practicality. Final Impression The Black Star is one of CIGA DESIGN's most ambitious creations to date.

Created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest, the CIGA Design Everest Summit Central Tourbillon transforms the spirit of exploration into a contemporary mechanical timepiece. Built around a rare central tourbillon architecture and housed in lightweight Grade 2 titanium, the watch combines symbolic storytelling with modern industrial design. Textured dial surfaces inspired by mountain terrain, sculptural case construction and the exposed tourbillon at the centre create a watch that feels both technical and emotional. More than a commemorative edition, the Everest Summit reflects CIGA Design’s approach to modern watchmaking - where mechanics, material and narrative exist as one. Inspiration & Design The Everest Summit collection draws inspiration from the world’s highest peak and the enduring human pursuit of reaching beyond limits. Its textured dial surface echoes the rugged terrain and contours of Mount Everest, while the central tourbillon symbolises balance, resilience and constant motion. The restrained monochromatic palette further reinforces the collection’s focus on endurance, elevation and quiet strength. Unlike traditional tourbillon watches that prioritise ornamentation, the Everest Summit presents mechanical complexity through a more architectural and contemporary lens. Dial & Case Details The Everest Summit features a lightweight Grade 2 titanium case chosen for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance and comfort on the wrist. Its layered construction combines brushed and matte surfaces to create depth without visual excess, while the sapphire crystal provides a clear view of the sculptural dial and exposed mechanics beneath. At the centre sits the suspended tourbillon assembly, visually integrated into the dial rather than treated as a separate complication. The surrounding terrain-inspired textures create a striking contrast against the precision of the rotating mechanism. Caseback engravings commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953. Movement & Mechanics Powering the watch is a rare central tourbillon movement - an ambitious construction that places the rotating regulating mechanism directly at the heart of the display. Beyond its visual impact, the central positioning creates a strong sense of symmetry and mechanical theatre, allowing the tourbillon to become both the technical and emotional focal point of the watch. The movement reflects CIGA Design’s continued focus on combining contemporary mechanical engineering with bold industrial design language. Wearability Despite its visual complexity, the Everest Summit remains highly wearable thanks to its titanium construction and balanced proportions. The lightweight case reduces wrist fatigue while the integrated strap design helps the watch sit securely and comfortably for daily wear. Its dark monochromatic finishing gives the piece a versatile and understated presence despite the dramatic mechanics beneath the crystal. Final Impression The CIGA Design Everest Summit Central Tourbillon is not simply a commemorative watch - it is a mechanical interpretation of ascent itself. Combining symbolic storytelling, sculptural textures and advanced tourbillon engineering, it stands apart from conventional luxury sports watches through a distinctly contemporary design perspective. For collectors drawn to modern mechanical art, the Everest Summit represents one of CIGA Design’s most thoughtful and emotionally resonant creations.
