CIGA Design Mechanical Watch Series X Eye Of Horus

CIGA Design have earned widespread acclaim for their innovative and creative designs, winning prestigious prizes such as the GPHG and Red Dot Awards. In an industry long dominated by Swiss and German watchmakers, CIGA Design have established themselves as a leading Chinese brand that's revolutionising traditional watchmaking. Their Series X collection perfectly embodies this notion as it blends modern watchmaking artistry with a bold, architectural design. These watches are defined by their unique X-shaped structure, prominently showcased within the dial and the movement, creating a striking visual identity for the collection.

Design Language

The current line-up of Series X includes three special timepieces with a masculine aesthetic, characterised by bold lines and robust construction — the Gorilla, Eye Of Horus, and Machina. Each different in inspiration is united with one key feature, the skeletonised dial, a signature element of CIGA Design. The open-worked design allows wearers to view the intricate X-shaped framework of their originally developed mechanical movement CD-01. This seamless integration reinforces the structural integrity of the watch while serving as a central design motif, giving the collection its name and distinctive character.

Additionally, the case of the Series X is typically square or slightly rectangular, providing a geometric contrast to the round inner elements of the movement. This combination of shapes creates a dynamic and visually engaging watch that stands out from more conventional designs.

Iterations

The Eye Of Horus is a unique watch that displays this mystifying symbol at the centre of the dial, creating a lasting visual impact. Whereas, the Gorilla mirrors the powerful appeal of a gorilla with its multi-layered design and unique four-corner suspension system. Lastly, the Series X Machina edition breaks the boundary between accessory and machine, with its high-tech ceramic built in very cool white and purple hues.
