Mido draws its inspiration for the Multifort Gentleman Swiss watch from the architecture of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Mido Multifort’s characteristic Geneva stripes on the dial recall the suspension cables on the bridge. But the robustness and exceptional longevity of this collection, which has been in production since 1934, also define the Mido Multifort Gentleman as a sporty watch that has stood the test of time. Its Caliber 80 automatic movement adds to this robustness by giving it up to 80 hours of power reserve. The Caliber 80 from Mido is a next-generation automatic watch movement which offers up to 80 hours of power reserve, twice as much as a regular calibre. The extremely technical process of Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coats watch components in a strong, impurity-free film to ensure continued resistance to corrosion. This microscopically thin layer boosts the watch’s hardness and robustness while enhancing its elegant aesthetics in a beautiful shade of black. Its hypoallergenic properties increase its universal appeal and allow for a range of applications. Mido's sapphire crystal glass reveals its spectacular dials in sharp relief. They afford excellent readability in a range of conditions while perfectly complementing the watches' elegant design. Strong and shock-resistant, they are made to last, maintaining their exceptional transparency for many years. A patina is a unique pattern formed on natural leather over time. Mido uses this leather for its beautiful natural characteristics and its shimmering, soft sheen. Every patina is different and makes your watch uniquely your own, as it accompanies you in your day-to-day life. This remarkably poetic effect can only be achieved with continued and loving wear.

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.
