CIGA Design evolves an all-new understanding of the Blue Planet. As a symbol of the enduring nature of eternity, gold has stood the test of time for millennia and mustn't be overlooked. With the debut of pure gold and masterful craftsmanship, the Blue Planet Gilded Age is a fusion of all the experience we have gained since creating the brand. It was born to be striking, both technically and aesthetically. This tendency to elevate objects in accordance with their price is a pretty transparent kind of snobbery, and I don’t like it. Sure, the refinement of high horology isn’t there for us to ogle, but wouldn’t that make a risky design all the more conceptual?I’m not sure if it’s a defect in the electroplating, or just a smudge on the surface. To be fair, I only noticed it after closely examining the watch under a bright lamp.

The ceramic strap comes with a push-button butterfly clasp. Modern design ergonomically frees every move on your wrist. There are a few Chinese watch brands such as Seagull, Shanghai and Beijing that are known to watch enthusiasts and collectors. These brands have been producing quality watches with very affordable prices mainly for the domestic market. CIGA is certainly a newcomer with greater ambition, aspiring to follow the footsteps of Huawei and DJI (top drone maker) who are both headquartered in Shenzhen as well. The strong base of manufacturing know-how and supply chain, combined with cutting edge designs, have set up the brand for its future success. I would’ve loved it if the globe rotated once every 24 hours as well. The rotation would not be accurate to Earth’s actual movement with the vantage point chosen for the Blue Planet, but it would’ve taken the metaphor and the mechanics just that one step further. Admittedly, I was a little confused by this when I first opened the watch. Until I flipped it over and peeked at the movement, I wasn’t sure if I got it up and running or not.Pliable and fitting, anti-microbial and wear-resisting dial Integrated color and natural texture strap. I think you have to approach a piece like this with a different mindset. It’s not the “daily watch” most consumers are looking for. Its avant-garde styling isn’t necessarily versatile or practical. Trying to use the Blue Planet as a practical watch will likely end in frustration.

The outer ring is stationary and displays the 12 hour layout, with each hour subdivided by 5 minute markers. The globe acts as a typical hour hand, rotating 30 degrees every hour. Hier gibt es eine Gewinner Uhr mit einem Gewinner Design und einer Botschaft die mir richtig gut gefällt. Ja ist es unsere Erde und ja genau wir sollten auch auf sie aufpassen und sie schützen und nicht so zerstören wie wir es gerade tun, nur weil es immer ums Kapital geht.

Challenge Watch Prize Winner of the 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève - The GPHG has long been acclaimed as the watchmaking industry's highest honor. It's an annual competition involving several hundreds of watches marketed during the year.

The crown is recessed into a cutaway in the case, and the underside of the crown hangs just below, giving you a spot to pop it out with a fingernail. The design of the crown is pretty unique as well. I quite like this decentralized view of the planet, as the design may have come off as cheesy, were it a stereotypical framing of the Earth’s continents. The globe is carved in relief and looks great from all angles. The contrast between the electroplated ocean and topographic landmasses serves to create a real sense of depth. Framing the Earth are the minute and hour scales. I applaud the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for assuring that the Challenge Prize given to watches under 3500 CHF each year is one of the most exciting categories. I also applaud 2021’s GPHG’s judges for seeing past the typical big brand dazzle and recognizing the accomplishment of China’s CIGA Design in creating the Blue Planet. I think the watch deserves the accolades it got. What Makes It SpecialComparing it to a stone made smooth by erosion seems fitting of the theme. While the case is practically featureless, I think it suits the watch. Attrazione & Percezione: Ricevo complimenti ovunque vada; l’orologio sembra costare molto di più di quanto effettivamente faccia. È il simbolo definitivo di eleganza e sofisticazione.
