Description

A New Way of Reading Time

The CIGA Design Blue Planet is not a conventional wristwatch. Instead of traditional hands, time is displayed through a rotating three-dimensional Earth dial inspired by the movement of our planet itself.

Winner of the GPHG Challenge Watch Prize in 2021, the Blue Planet quickly became one of the most recognizable modern watch designs, combining mechanical innovation with a unique artistic approach to timekeeping.

Price is based on the titanium version, please use the code STEEL at checkout if you prefer the steel version to get the price reduction.

The Concept

At the center of the watch is a sculpted miniature Earth created using precision CNC engraving. Continents, oceans, coastlines, and terrain are rendered in relief, creating a striking three-dimensional effect that changes with the light.

The Blue Planet was designed as a smooth, uninterrupted object on the wrist.

Its rounded case eliminates traditional lugs, creating a pebble-like silhouette that feels organic and modern. A domed sapphire crystal enhances the sense of depth while preserving the clean lines of the design.

The Features

Technical Specifications

Case

* Stainless steel or titanium
* 43mm or 46mm
* Domed sapphire crystal
* 30m water resistance

Movement

* Automatic mechanical movement
* CIGA Design Asynchronous-Follow display system
* Hours and minutes displayed through rotating Earth dial

Dial

* Three-dimensional engraved globe
* CNC-carved continents and oceans
* Single-point time indication

Strap

* Blue fluororubber strap

The Functions

The Blue Planet is powered by CIGA Design’s proprietary Asynchronous-Follow movement architecture.

Rather than using conventional hands, the mechanism coordinates two rotating elements:

* Hour ring rotating 30°
* Minute ring rotating 390°
* Single compass marker used as the reading point

The result is an intuitive display where both hours and minutes are read from one fixed reference point while the Earth slowly rotates beneath.

CONCEPT

The Earth as the Dial

At the center of the watch is a sculpted miniature Earth created using precision CNC engraving. Continents, oceans, coastlines, and terrain are rendered in relief, creating a striking three-dimensional effect that changes with the light.

Unlike a printed dial, the Blue Planet offers genuine depth and texture, turning the globe into the focal point of the watch.

Depending on the version, the globe depicts either:

  • Original Edition – Eurasia and the surrounding oceans
  • Atlantic Edition – The Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean


The Asynchronous-Follow Movement

The Blue Planet is powered by CIGA Design’s proprietary Asynchronous-Follow movement architecture.

Rather than using conventional hands, the mechanism coordinates two rotating elements:

  • Hour ring rotating 30°
  • Minute ring rotating 390°
  • Single compass marker used as the reading point


The result is an intuitive display where both hours and minutes are read from one fixed reference point while the Earth slowly rotates beneath.

Minimalist by Design

The Blue Planet was designed as a smooth, uninterrupted object on the wrist.

Its rounded case eliminates traditional lugs, creating a pebble-like silhouette that feels organic and modern. A domed sapphire crystal enhances the sense of depth while preserving the clean lines of the design.

The crown is discreetly integrated into the profile, allowing the sculpted globe to remain the visual centerpiece.
