Introducing Ciga Design Unveils New Edition to Celebrate the Year of the Snake

Ciga Design founded in 2016. The company's core creative team, consisting of internationally renowned cross-disciplinary designers, adheres to the Bauhaus principles of "form follows function" and "less is more". The brand is committed to creating meaningful timepieces through profound design, injecting new life and spiritual depth into the industry. Since its founding, Ciga Design has been honored with 17 international design awards for its outstanding original designs. One of the latest releases this year is the "Year of the Snake" watch, celebrating the upcoming Chinese Year of the Snake.

The watch case is made from black jadeite, a rare and durable mineral from the clinopyroxene family. In keeping with zodiac traditions, it is crafted from traditional black jadeite, a material with a rich history spanning thousands of years. The case is complemented by an engraved crown and protected by a sapphire crystal. With a diameter of 46 mm and a thickness of 15 mm, the watch offers a water resistance of up to 30 meters.

The black dial features a rotating snake, symbolizing vitality, which serves as both the hour and minute hands, powered by CIGA’s patented “Asynchronous Follower” technology for precise timekeeping. The snake’s head indicates the hours, while its tail represents the minutes. The hour ring remains stationary, while the minute ring moves, followed by the snake’s tail, allowing for precise time reading as the snake points to the white numerals and tracks on the rings. The satin-finished, gold-plated snake at the center of the dial is set against an abstract pattern resembling a snake’s scales, which meanders across the dial. This design reflects the dynamic nature of the snake and symbolizes the prosperity and vitality of the Year of the Snake.

The watch operates with a self-winding automatic mechanical movement, offering a power reserve of 40 hours. It features a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). It comes with a black rubber strap featuring a snakeskin pattern that matches the dial design and steel pin buckle, at price CHF 2,000 approximately equivalent to AED 8,800.
