CIGA Design Blue Planet makes the Earth the centre of its time display

CIGA Design’s Blue Planet replaces the familiar pair of central hands with a rotating miniature Earth and an unusual relationship between its time scales. The result asks the wearer to learn a different reading gesture. Relief topography, blue oceans and a rounded, lugless case turn the dial into a small sculptural object rather than a conventional instrument face.

The manufacturer identifies the movement as its CD-04-E automatic, with a stated 40-hour power reserve. Current options include 43mm and 46mm cases in steel or titanium alloy, paired with a blue fluororubber strap and domed sapphire glass. The Blue Planet concept received the 2021 GPHG Challenge Watch Prize; this is a collection profile, not an announcement of a new award or a new launch.
