CIGA design Time Cipher
CIGA design has introduced the Time Cipher, an innovative wandering-hour watch that challenges traditional timekeeping methods. It features a unique movement where hours travel along a dial while minutes are tracked continuously, creating a captivating visual experience. The watch is powered by a customized automatic caliber based on the Miyota 9000 series, boasting a power reserve of 42 hours and an accuracy of around -10 to +20 seconds per day. The design incorporates a striking "Super Black" coating that absorbs 99.3% of light, allowing the moving elements to appear to float against the nearly invisible background. The case of the Time Cipher measures 45mm in diameter and is crafted from 316L stainless steel, with options in carbon and silver colors. It features a sporty black fluororubber strap with a hidden deployant clasp. Priced at $899, the Time Cipher emphasizes CIGA design's commitment to creating watches with genuine identity rather than merely imitating traditional Swiss models. By referencing the historical significance of wandering-hour mechanisms, the brand positions itself as a serious contender in the watchmaking industry, aiming to make unique complications accessible to enthusiasts.
