CIGA Design Mechanical Watch Series U Blue Planet - Gilding Version
As the earth turns, so does the wheel of time, an endless cycle of evolution and change that has shaped our
world for eons. The world reveals itself in all its majesty, a blue planet spinning gracefully in the vast expanse
of the universe. It's been a while since CIGA Design debuted a hybrid of the timepiece and Blue Planet, we
still endeavor to evolve an all-new understanding, that represents the idea of withness and eternity.

Though' the march of time may
seem unstop-pable, there are
things that endure, things that
stand the test of time and remind
us of the beauty and the mystery
of existence.
Gold is one such thing unlikely to
be over-looked, a precious metal
that has captivated the hearts and
minds of humanity for millennia.
Though' the march of time may seem unstoppable,
there are things that endure, things that stand
the test of time and remind us of the beauty and
the mystery of existence.
Gold is one such thing unlikely to be overlooked,
a precious metal that has captivated the hearts
and minds of humanity for millennia.
From the ancient Greek myth of
King Midas to the Silk Road
trade that facilitated the exchange
of gold and other precious commodities.
To the wealth of the Ghana Empire that was built on gold mining and trade,
and to the infamous California Gold Rush that drew prospectors from
around the world in search of riches, it is a symbol of wealth and power, of
beauty and elegance, and of the enduring nature of eternity.
With the debut of pure gold in the CIGA Design family, our goal for this
model was to construct a fusion and bring together all the experience we
have gained since the creation of the brand in one watch. It was born to be
striking, both technically and aesthetically, with finishing also of an excep-
tional level. The upgraded material and masterful craftsmanship make
the Blue Planet · Gilded Age a very essence of elegance and sophistication
which epitomizes the creative style that is CIGA Design's hallmark.

Each gilded planet dial undergoes multiple intricate crafting processes.
Stringent production standards have resulted in an obsolescence rate of
over 40%, causing nearly half of all dials produced to
be scrapped. CIGA
Design provides the ultimate experience to all wearers with painstaking
standards.
The initial engraving of the dial's con-
tours is performed using a CNC engrav-
ing machine with a 0.07 mm cutting
head at a high speed of 20,000 RPM.
This process takes a total of 18 hours to
complete.
After the initial engraving is completed,
the raw dial will be coated with a corro-
sion-resistant black layer, a special kind
of ink to stabilize the follow-up electro-
plating process and endure acid pick-
ling.
A GILDED DIAL STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
Each gilded planet dial undergoes multiple intricate crafting processes. Stringent production standards
have resulted in an obsolescence rate of over 40%, causing nearly half of all dials produced to
be scrapped.
CIGA Design provides the ultimate experience to all wearers with painstaking standards.
The intricate details on the dial are pro-
duced by a secondary CNC engraving
with a more precise 0.05 mm cutting
head at a high speed of 20,000 RPM.
This process takes a total of 6 hours to
complete.
The layer of pure 24k gold on top is gilded upon after
the raw dial undergoes multi-layer electrode ion plating
(including zinc and nickel).
The intricate dial details crisp oceans, sprawling mountains, and pristine
land, acting as a constant reminder of what we all share and what we must
preserve. The dial,crafted with micro-craving and multi-layer gilding, repro-
duces the Earth in the same continent-and-ocean ratio and depicts the real
altitude of the terrain, The first applica-tion of 24K gold on a CIGA Design
watch, cranks it up a notch with a very essence of elegance and sophisti-
cation, making this time piece a symbol of the infinite potential lies
within us all and a testament to the enduring nature of eternity.

and lightweicht. Every curve and anale is crafted to perfection, a dynamic
interplay between light and shadow on its lustrous finish, drawing the eye
and creating a sense of fluidity and motion that echoes the passage of time.
The initial engraving of the dial's contours is performed
using a CNC engraving machine with a 0.07 mm cutting
head at a high speed of 20,000 RPM. This process
takes a total of 18 hours to complete.
After the initial engraving is completed, the raw dial will
be coated with a corrosion-resistant black layer, a special
kind of ink to stabilize the follow-up electroplating
process and endure acid pickling.
Powder preparation: The raw material for ceramic cases is zirconium oxide,
which is processed into a fine powder.
Drying: The molded cases are then dried to remove any moisture and pre-
pare them for the next step.
lnjectlon molding: The ceramic powder is then injected into a mold that has
the desired shape of the watch case.
Sintering: The dried cases are placed in a furnace and heated to a very high
temperature, typically around 1500°C. This process takes 144 hours and
causes the ceramic particles to fuse together and form a solid, dense material.
Machining: Once the sintered cases have cooled, they are machined to the
final shape and size. This process in-volves cutting and grinding(partly done
by handicraft) the ceramic material to achieve the desired surface finish.
Polishing: The final step involves polishing the ceramic cases. This process takes over 200 hours to deliver asmooth touch and a smooth touch and a tint
of lasting shine

ondary CNC engraving with a more precise 0.05 mm drill

Uses just one hand to indicate the hours and minutes.
When the hour hand rotates 30°, the minute hand rotates 390°. This
innovative change in the gear ratio of the traditional movement
means the watch can indicate both the hour and minute with a
single pointer. The compass marker serves as the time pointer
working with the static hour dial and the dynamic minute dial to in-
dicate the exact time. This ingenious solution transforms the con-
ventional way of time-telling
