About CIGA design
A trailblazer in the watchmaking world, CIGA design lives by a single promise: Stand Out, By Design. The brand turns its back on the ordinary, pushing past traditional limits through original design and a restless drive to shape contemporary pieces that speak to the present moment. For CIGA design, original design isn't decoration — it is the very foundation of the extraordinary, and a way for each wearer to express their own individuality.
Since its beginning, CIGA design has earned 17 prestigious international design awards for its originality and inventiveness. From 2017 to 2021 it ranked among the Top 3 in the Watches/Jewelry category of the iF Design Awards, standing alongside names such as Apple and Bulgari. In 2021 its landmark creation, "Blue Planet," outshone 208 competing timepieces from around the globe to claim the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), widely regarded as the "Oscars of Watchmaking." A self-made "dark horse" in the industry, CIGA design has twice broken crowdfunding records in the watch category on the U.S. Indiegogo platform, drawing wide coverage from outlets including The New York Times, Europa Star, Forbes, Hodinkee and A Blog to Watch. Today its watches reach more than 100 countries and are trusted by over 500,000 owners — all sharing one vision: to reimagine the future of watchmaking.
