Co-create a timepiece born from a shared fascination with the cosmos. As the successor to the award-winning Blue Planet, which celebrated Earth's beauty, Black Star shifts its gaze outward—into the unknown. It explores contrast: from life to void, balance to gravity, the familiar to the infinite.
At the center of the dial, an 8.50mm Super Black pit evokes a black hole,
absorbing light like time collapsing in space. Around it, spiral-painted stars in blue and white trace the motion of a distant galaxy. Above, a luminous polar-star hand
orbits silently, guiding a direction that defies gravity and forges its own way.

What began as a conversation between two design philosophies became a
year-long co-creation that reimagined time. CIGA design,
with its aesthetics-driven mechanics, partnered with Label Noir, whose monochrome language speaks through
contrast and subtlety. Together, we crafted
Black Star—a timepiece reflecting the vastness of space and the possibility of collaboration.
It marks a new chapter in independent watchmaking,
where design transcends categories and every detail is intentional.

A Dial Shaped by Cosmic Tension
The dial of Black Star is a miniature universe
forged through precision. A black hole–inspired pit, CNC-machined and coated in light-absorptive Super Black creates a void. Around it, wisps of blue and scattered white stars trace the motion of a distant galaxy. A luminous polar-star hand orbits above, guiding time through the darkness.
CNC Micro-Machining
Diamond-tipped 0.07mm tools carve each dial with nanometer precision over a 6-hour engraving process.
Super Black Coating
Light-absorbing pigment achieves 99% absorption, creating a pure black, non-reflective central pit.
Surface Hardening
PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) treatment enhances hardness, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Color & Lume Printing
CMYK gradient printing forms a spiral galaxy; markers and polar star use luminescent pigment for night visibility.
Swiss-made Movement Powered by
CIGA design’s Iconic Asynchronous-follow Technology
Powered by the Swiss-made CD-04-S caliber—an evolved version of the original Blue Planet I movement—this timepiece blends precision engineering with reliable performance. Its reconfigured gear ratios enable the hour gear to turn 30° as the dynamic minute ring rotates 390°, all from a single point of reference. This unconventional display challenges traditional watchmaking and delivers a uniquely intuitive experience on the wrist.
Lightweight, Resilient, Otherworldly
Crafted from Grade 2 titanium, the round case delivers impressive strength-to-weight performance—durable yet comfortably lightweight. A DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating enhances scratch resistance and lends a sleek, deep-black finish that echoes the dial’s cosmic aesthetic. Brushed finishing adds texture and softly diffuses light across every contour.
Innovative Single-Hand Time Display
A luminous Polar Star hand points the way,
with a fixed hour dial and dynamic minute ring delivering time in one fluid, intuitive motion.
