For millennia, the Moon has stirred human imagination with its mystery, beauty, and promise of discovery. On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong’s iconic footprint on the Sea of Tranquility became more than a step—it symbolized humanity’s boundless bravery and our first leap beyond Earth’s gravity.
Today, CIGA Design, winner of the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Challenge Watch Prize, presents the Moon Walker Automatic Watch – a wearable mechanical poem that brings this legacy of exploration to the wrist.
A Timepiece That Defies Convention
The Moon Walker is unlike any traditional watch. A miniature astronaut replaces the traditional hands, gracefully gliding above a sculpted lunar dial, echoing Armstrong’s historic walk. Suspended beneath curved sapphire crystal, the astronaut’s motion embodies weightlessness and the human spirit of adventure. At its heart beats a Swiss-made movement enhanced with CIGA Design’s award-winning Asynchronous-Follow Technology, ensuring a smooth and innovative time display.
A Faithful Lunar Tribute
The dial recreates the Moon’s surface with extraordinary precision. Using NASA’s ultra-high-resolution imagery and 0.05mm CNC micro-engraving, every crater, ridge, and mare—from the Sea of Tranquility to the Ocean of Storms—appears in breathtaking detail. Hidden within the surface lie Armstrong’s footprint, the Apollo 11 landing coordinates, and the exact moment of touchdown, revealed only under 10× magnification.
Sophistication in Every Detail
Encased in lightweight titanium with a seamless lugless design, the Moon Walker offers durability and elegance. The polished CNC-engraved 3D indices and curved sapphire crystal enhance depth and clarity, while the case back bears Armstrong’s immortal words: “One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Paired with a sleek black fluororubber strap and hidden clasp, it ensures both comfort and refinement.
More Than Timekeeping—A Legacy on the Wrist
The CIGA Design Moon Walker is not just a watch—it is a story of courage, discovery, and humanity’s greatest leap forward. Each glance reconnects the wearer with the wonder of Armstrong’s first step and the enduring spirit that propelled us beyond Earth.
Don’t just tell time—own the moment that changed everything.
