Watch industry is for ages based on reputation and the famous names are held in high regard and reap the rewards. But sometimes a new contender emerges as a bit of a suprise. And the chinese brand CIGA Design managed to step into the highest echelons of the industry with an unstoppable force. After all, they are the first chinese watch brand to win the industry “Oscar” award, the Grand Prixd’Horlogerie de Genève. And the awards kept coming…
Luxury 24k gold plated dial
In 2021 this prestigious award went to their Blue Planet mechanical automatic watch and model is certainly a sight to behold. And with the Blue Planet Gilding Version they even stepped up the game in evolution of the series and broke into the absolute high-end segment. With combining precious metals and ceramics it certainly brings a nice subtle touch artistic design to the fore. Ancient nautical charts inspires its 24k gold plated dial and shows Earth sculpted in intricate detail. It even shows the real altitude of the terrain and the proper continent-ocean ratio.
High-tech ceramic case
Coming hand in hand with the 24k gold plated dial is the high-tech ceramic case with one-piece design. The new high-tech ceramic material is aerobically sintered at 1800°C to provide a one-piece flowing texture to the watch case and strap. Creating a delicate light and toughness throughout the watch. The curvature of the case has been fine-tuned hundreds of times to achieve this perfect curve. And the round and full design creates a three-dimensional suspension on the wrist. And the non-synchronous tracing movement inspired by the sundial simulates the rotation of the earth.
Such high-end watch is of course not going to be in the really affordable category. Because you always need to pay for quality. But with the current Amazon promo even the high-end CIGA Design Blue Planet Gilding Version can get a massive price slash. Prime Day deal has it with full 30% off. And you can grab this marvel for just $1.239.30. Steep, but for an absolutely stunning watch to wear.
