The Grand Prix de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Switzerland, has always been the Oscars of the world’s watch industry. The major awards awarded every year are the goals that major watch brands strive to strive for.

As a brand from a major oriental country, CIGA design was shortlisted for the first time and won the “Challenge Award”. It became the first major oriental brand in history to win this honor, which is really impressive.

The “Blue Planet II Black Star Art Watch” jointly launched with the top Swiss modification brand Label Noir this time perfectly interprets the infinite possibilities between the design of the Eastern powers and Swiss watchmaking.

“Blue Planet II Black Star Art Watch”

This watch is inspired by the blue planet in the universe. There is a groove design in the center of the dial, which is made of “super black” high-tech material. The light absorption rate of the entire dial is as high as 99%.

We all know that black holes are the most mysterious objects in the universe. They can swallow all light. All light from the outside cannot penetrate black holes, just like our eyes cannot see matter in space.

The “super black” material is inspired by the characteristics of black holes. Under the illumination of light, the dial appears deep black, making people feel like they are seeing a mini universe.

The blue and white stars around the dial are presented using CMYK gradient printing technology, which not only conforms to the theme of the universe, but also shows the beauty of nature.

The most special thing is that the watch’s hour and minute hands are not the ordinary three, but only one hand. Like the North Star, it is particularly eye-catching at night.

Label Noir

Founded in 2011, Label Noir is a top Swiss brand known for its minimalist tones and subversive designs.

He once modified the world’s first Rolex with a tourbillon, which caused quite a stir in the watch industry.

For those who like to collect watches, a unique watch is more attractive than a hundred mass-produced works, and Label Noir is exactly such a brand. It uses its own subversive design to create a new world for watch lovers.

The cooperation between CIGA design and Label Noir is obviously a strong alliance, with in-depth cooperation in design and technology to jointly complete this representative work.

a successful cooperation

It is reported that the creation of this watch lasted a year, and the two parties conducted countless communications and discussions. From the initial conception to the final shape, it can be said that a lot of effort was put into it.

CIGA design Xijia is good at asynchronous tracking technology, while Label Noir is good at minimalist dark aesthetics. The combination of the two shows stunning works.

This watch is not only stunning in appearance, but also impressive on the inside. The movement is made in Switzerland and is equipped with CIGA design’s unique asynchronous tracking technology, allowing us to experience a new time reading experience.

The watch is made into a book-style gift box made of high-grade recycled paper. The watch is stored in it and comes with a handwritten letter from Label Noir. Such a gift from the universe is really the best choice for gift giving and self-collection.

Conclusion

This collaboration between CIGA design and Label Noir is really eye-catching. It has both profound cultural heritage and innovative design concepts. This watch is not only a luxury product, but also a work of art, worthy of collection by every watch lover. What do you think of this watch?
