CIGA DESIGN

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.

The CIGA Design Hunter Tourbillon Silver is the purest expression of the collection’s architecture. With its bright titanium finish, visible tourbillon, and openworked movement, it reveals the full depth of the design with maximum clarity. If the Blue is composed and the Carbon is forceful, the Silver is structural honesty. Inspiration & Design The Hunter Tourbillon evolves the original Hunter concept into its highest expression. The familiar tonneau silhouette returns leaner, sharper, and more resolved, with bold structural cut-throughs extending the skeleton language beyond the dial. The Hunter Tourbillon uses case and movement as one integrated composition. Rather than framing the calibre, the case echoes it through bold openings, sharp transitions, and continuous lines. In Silver, these ideas are most apparent. Surfaces, edges, and depth read more clearly, giving the watch a stronger sense of lightness and precision. Dial & Case Details The skeletonised dial is organised around six openworked bridges radiating from the twin-barrel centre, while the tourbillon anchors the lower half of the display. This creates visual balance between energy storage above and regulation below. The six-bridge skeleton layout and lower tourbillon display are especially legible in Silver, where light reflects through the movement architecture. The Grade 5 titanium case showcases the contrast between matte blasted planes and polished chamfers particularly well, making this the most visually detailed version at close range. Movement & Mechanics Inside is CIGA Design’s self-developed manual-wind skeleton tourbillon calibre CD-011. Key features include: Visible tourbillon regulator Twin barrels 72-hour power reserve 26 jewels 28,800 vph This is not movement decoration for its own sake - the calibre is the core visual identity of the watch. Bracelet / Strap & Wearability The watch is supplied with both a Grade 2 titanium H-link bracelet and a fluororubber sport strap, each using a push-button hidden clasp. The Silver variant transitions especially well between bracelet and strap.

The CIGA Design Falcon Silver Skeleton Watch keeps the same fully open construction - but presents it with more restraint. It allows the design to breathe, with light playing a larger role across the case and movement. 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. In Silver, that tension feels more controlled. The absence of heavy contrast shifts the focus toward proportion, finishing, and mechanical detail rather than visual intensity. Dial & Case Details The 316L steel case retains its open-worked construction, with sharp lines and a strong, balanced stance. Micro-sandblasted surfaces are paired with polished accents, creating a subtle interplay of light across the case and bezel. The layered bezel adds depth without overwhelming the design, while the raised crystal enhances the sense of space within the watch. The skeletonised layout allows the movement to act as both dial and visual centrepiece. 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 Silver is the more restrained interpretation. Cleaner, more legible, and easier to pair - it offers the same architecture in a more versatile form.

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.

The CIGA Design X Series Gorilla Red Stainless Steel channels strength through structure, contrast, and mechanical transparency. Combining the suspended case architecture of the X Series with vivid red accents and a stainless steel case, it delivers a bold yet balanced expression of industrial watch design. Inspiration & Design The X Series Gorilla draws inspiration from the physical power of the gorilla and the engineered logic of suspension systems. Each corner of the case incorporates an independent spring suspension system, inspired by high-performance automotive engineering. This structure enhances shock resistance while visually reinforcing the watch’s mechanical identity. Within the square case, four triangular structural elements form a stable geometric framework, supporting the suspended movement core and creating the Gorilla’s distinctive architectural silhouette. Dial & Case Details The watch features a double-sided skeleton construction, allowing the movement to be viewed from both the front and the caseback. Rather than relying on a conventional dial, the time scale is integrated into the case structure itself - creating a hidden display that feels embedded within the architecture. The stainless steel case introduces a cleaner, more neutral material base, while vivid red accents create strong visual contrast against the exposed mechanics. The result feels bold, but more grounded than coated variants. The signature double-X motif is coated with Super-LumiNova for visibility in low-light conditions. Movement & Mechanics Powering the watch is CIGA Design’s in-house CD-01 automatic movement, developed specifically for the X Series. The skeletonised architecture exposes the interaction of gears, bridges, and the oscillating balance - transforming the movement into a central part of the watch’s visual identity. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability Paired with a black silicone strap, the X Series Gorilla Red Stainless Steel balances durability with flexibility for everyday wear. The curved case architecture allows the watch to sit securely on the wrist, while the stainless steel construction gives it a reassuring, solid presence.

The CIGA Design Blue Planet Gilding Black Gold watch shifts the concept into a more defined visual language. Where earlier versions emphasised form, this variant introduces contrast - using black and 24K gold to sharpen the structure of the Earth and make the passage of time more legible. It remains unconventional, but more resolved. Inspiration & Design The design continues to centre on Earth as a system in motion. Here, the addition of black creates a stronger visual foundation, allowing the gilded terrain to stand out with greater clarity. The contrast enhances both depth and readability, giving the dial a more architectural presence. It feels less like a concept piece, and more like a finished object. Dial & Case Details The dial is constructed as a three-dimensional Earth, with oceans, landforms, and terrain rendered in precise proportion. Using CNC engraving and multi-layer gilding, the surface captures both the contours and relative altitude of the landscape. Each dial is produced over 68 hours, with multiple finishing stages to achieve depth and clarity. 24K gold is applied selectively across the terrain, introducing warmth and contrast while highlighting the sculptural details of the globe. Against the darker base, the gold elements become more pronounced - reinforcing the depth and making the structure easier to read. Movement & Mechanics The automatic movement is adapted to drive the rotating Earth display. Instead of traditional hands, time is read against a fixed indicator while the globe itself rotates. This changes how time is perceived - less segmented, more continuous. The mechanics remain largely hidden, but their effect defines the entire experience. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability Despite its visual complexity, the watch wears comfortably. The case proportions remain balanced, while the darker palette makes it feel slightly more understated on the wrist compared to lighter Blue Planet variants. It carries presence, but in a more controlled way. Final Impression The CIGA Design Blue Planet Gilding Black Gold Automatic Watch refines an already unconventional concept. By introducing contrast and material depth, it makes the design more legible, more structured, and ultimately more wearable. For those drawn to the Blue Planet but looking for a stronger visual anchor, this is the most resolved execution. Technical Specifications Case size: 46mm Case material: Ceramic Case back: Sapphire exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house movement Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Unique dial design depicting our planet Earth on your wrist Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Ceramic and fluorine rubber Strap material: Black ceramic bracelet and black fluorine rubber Buckle: Deployant clasp for the bracelet and tang buckle for the rubber strap Warranty: 2 years

The CIGA Design Blue Planet Ice Age takes the same concept and softens it. Instead of strong contrast or metallic highlights, it leans into cooler tones and layered textures - creating a dial that feels calmer, but no less detailed. Time is still read through motion, but the experience is more subdued. Inspiration & Design The design draws from glacial landscapes and frozen terrain. Rather than emphasising separation between elements, the dial blends them. Land and ocean transition more gradually, creating a sense of continuity across the surface. The result is less graphic, more atmospheric - closer to a landscape than a display. Dial & Case Details The dial is constructed as a three-dimensional Earth, with terrain rendered through layered finishing and subtle tonal shifts. Unlike the Black Gold version, contrast is intentionally reduced. Details emerge through texture rather than colour, giving the dial a softer visual presence. Light plays a key role - revealing contours gradually rather than immediately. The case remains restrained, allowing the dial’s surface treatment to define the watch. Movement & Mechanics The automatic movement drives the rotating Earth display. Time is read against a fixed indicator, with the globe acting as the moving element. The motion is continuous and slow, reinforcing the overall calmness of the design. The mechanics stay in the background - the emphasis here is on surface and form. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The softer palette makes this one of the more wearable Blue Planet variants. It integrates easily with neutral outfits and does not dominate the wrist, despite the complexity of the dial. Presence comes from detail, not contrast. Final Impression The Ice Age version offers a different entry point into the Blue Planet series. Where other versions are more expressive, this one is more restrained - focusing on texture, tone, and atmosphere. For those who appreciate subtlety over statement, it is the most understated interpretation of the concept. Technical Specifications Case size: 46mm Case material: Ceramic Case back: Sapphire exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house movement Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Unique dial design depicting our planet Earth on your wrist Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Ceramic and fluorine rubber Strap material: White ceramic bracelet and white fluorine rubber Buckle: Deployant clasp for the bracelet and tang buckle for the rubber strap Warranty: 2 years
