Brand history & owner guide

CIGA Design

CIGA Design's official storefront presents a current mechanical and automatic collection built around design-led model families. 12

A current collection-research guide; no founding history is asserted here because it was not established from the reviewed first-party material.

Use documented collection names

CIGA Design's official storefront identifies Blue Planet, Everest, Aventur and Edge collections, and its shop navigation names Hunter, Blue Planet II and Time Cipher. These names are the appropriate starting point for reference research.

Storefront navigation is not a complete historical catalogue. 12

Blue Planet has a stated award claim

The official Blue Planet listing says the model won the Challenge Watch Prize at the 2021 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. Treat this as a model-family claim, not as a property of every CIGA Design watch.

Exact executions need their individual product record. 2

Edge is a separate mechanical family

CIGA Design describes Edge as a mechanical watch with a dual-sided skeleton design and says it received a German Design Award in 2020. This is distinct from the Blue Planet presentation.

Case dimensions and movement specifications vary by product listing. 2

Hunter Tourbillon requires exact evidence

The official Hunter Tourbillon listing identifies a hand-wound skeleton tourbillon, self-developed Caliber CD-011 and twin barrels for that model. These are model-level claims.

Do not apply them to non-Tourbillon Hunter variants or other collections. 3

Movement claims are not brand-wide

The official listings show mechanical, automatic and tourbillon language across different products. A watch's movement should be recorded from its precise model page or period documentation.

A collection name alone is not enough to establish calibre, winding system or power reserve. 123

Keep conclusions source-bounded

The reviewed official material supports current collection context and specific model claims for Blue Planet, Edge and Hunter Tourbillon. It does not authenticate a watch, establish its condition or determine market value.

Use exact-reference documentation and physical inspection for consequential decisions. 123

Ownership and continuity

This source-bounded guide documents CIGA Design's present collection structure and selected model claims without asserting unsupported brand history. 123

Identification and service

For an individual watch, record the complete reference, serial, dial, case, and movement markings and compare them with dated primary documentation.

A brand history cannot authenticate, appraise, or establish the provenance of a particular watch.
