Blue Planet begins from that view. A micro-carved Earth that turns — the world entire and the origin of time, held in one
object. Through Asynchronous-Follow technology, the planet's rotation becomes the display: hours and minutes summoned
from a single point, the way a compass reads position from a turning world. Around it, a mirror-polished, lug-free case;
above it, a domed sapphire crystal drawing the eye inward to an Earth in its own depth.
A blue fluororubber strap extends the planet’s palette onto the wrist, a quiet reminder that this world is home.
Place and time, unified. The whole picture, on the wrist.
Once, a man looked back at Earth from space and understood time on a larger scale.
Not as separate hours or divided places, but as one world in continuous rotation — a single living whole shared by every life,
every journey, every moment.

A VISION RECOGNIZED IN GENEVA
In 2021, Blue Planet brought CIGA design to the global stage of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, the Oscars of Watchmaking.
It won the GPHG Challenge Watch Prize against 208 competing entries,
becoming the first Chinese watch in the competition's history to claim the award, and was described by The New York Times as
"The Chinese Watch Brand That Beats the Swiss".

TIME EMERGES,
FROM A WORLD THAT TURNS
Blue Planet reimagines time with an unconventional display. Hands disappear. The sculpted Earth dial turns in their place,
taking its cue from the most instinctive measure of time: Earth's own rotation. Through Asynchronous-Follow, hours and minutes converge at a single
compass. The whole world moves. One point tells it all.

SEPARATED IN MOTION
ALIGNED AS ONE
The self-developed CD-04-E caliber powers the Asynchronous-Follow display. Each hour, the Earth dial advances 30°, with the hour read against the fixed outer ring at the compass marker. At the same time, the minute ring rotates through 390° per hour, its rate calibrated to bring both indications into alignment at the same compass.
GEOGRAPHY, CARVED INTO TIME
THE PROCESS OF PRECISION
A carved Earth rises from the dial, CNC micro-engraved and topographically rendered. Up close,
ridges and coastlines emerge in relief — from the Himalayas to the Great Rift Valley, from the Strait of Malacca to the Persian Gulf.
Indices are raised on the surrounding rings to mark time with precision,
as if held in orbit around the world at the centre.

MINIMALIST BY DESIGN
The case of Blue Planet is designed to step back. The lugless case — in recycled titanium or 316L stainless steel,
at 43mm or 46mm — is mirror-polished to gleam around the dial. A domed sapphire crystal completes the pebble-smooth form,
drawing the eye inward to an Earth floating in its own depth. A deep-grooved crown is created for subtle grip.
Each element recedes. The dial remains.
