CIGA Design Year of the Horse

A Symbol of Momentum, Precision, and Auspicious Time

Created as a tribute to the Year of the Horse, this special edition from CIGA Design embodies motion, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of progress — values long associated with the horse in Eastern culture.

At the heart of the dial, two free-floating diamond pointers guide the hour and minute. Liberated from conventional constraints, they glide between square indices, transforming the passage of time into a visual rhythm — fluid, poetic, and expressive. When the pointers align, it marks a moment of convergence, symbolising opportunity, good fortune, and forward movement.

Driving this display is a central tourbillon movement, positioned as the visual and mechanical core of the watch. More than a feat of precision engineering, the tourbillon introduces constant motion into the design, reinforcing the philosophy that time is never static — it runs, evolves, and advances.

At six o’clock, a gold horse inlay is delicately carved into the dial. Rendered in brilliant gold, its minimalist silhouette carries deep symbolism: success through perseverance, momentum through discipline, and prosperity through action. The horse stands not as decoration, but as intention.

Completing the piece is a horse leather strap, selected for its refined grain and satin-like smoothness. Soft to the touch yet inherently durable, the strap develops a natural lustre over time, enhancing both comfort and character with wear — a reflection of the watch’s high-end collectible nature.

The CIGA Design Year of the Horse is more than a timepiece.
It is a statement of movement, purpose, and auspicious beginnings.
