CIGA Design - Time Cypher - Carbon

CIGA Design Time Cypher Carbon Automatic Wandering Hour Watch

Time is not meant to be read in straight lines—it is meant to be deciphered. Reimagining horological art through modern execution, the CIGA Design Time Cypher Carbon takes the 17th-century wandering hour complication and strips away unnecessary mass, delivering an avant-garde masterpiece that is remarkably thin, sleek, and refined.

Key Highlights

• The Wandering Hour Complication: Rethinks standard watch hands. Time is told via an openworked central assembly decorated with Côtes de Genève chamfers. The hour disc calmly rotates along its path to reveal the hour against a fixed indicator, while the minute arm continuously sweeps the outer track.

• 99.3% Super Black Dial: Coated in an light-absorbing ultra-black finish, the dial recedes into near-total darkness. The floating movement and CNC-engraved, high-gloss minute indices pop out from the shadows without visual distraction.

• Custom Caliber CD-08: Built upon a reliable Miyota 9000-series automatic engine, CIGA re-engineered the base movement to support the weight and geometry of the wandering assembly with stability and precision.

• Sculpted 316L Case: Features a dark, stealth-black PVD 316L stainless steel case with micro-sandblasted recesses at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock to create dynamic depth and contrast.

• Ultra-Slim Ergonomics: Despite housing a complex mechanical module, the lugless, integrated profile sits at a sleek 11.8 mm thick—making it far more wearable than typical bulky high-complication watches.
