CIGA Design Blue Planet - BEYOND THE DIAL Hands-On Review CIGA Design Blue Planet - BEYOND THE DIAL

I’m wearing the CIGA Design Blue Planet, a watch of radical design and radical mechanics that is thoroughly grounded, if you catch my drift.The idea of protecting the Earth, the only home we Earthlings all share, is vividly presented in the first few pages of the illustrations. And although the diameter is officially 46mm, with no lugs to speak of, the Blue Planet wears as well as any mid-size watch with a similar lug-to-lug measurement. We developed a new gear ratio, on which the hour hand(the earth) rotates by 30° and the minute chapter ring rotates by 390°. Essentially, it’s like a sundial in reverse, using the rotation of the planet (seen here from the perspective of the Far East rather than the more familiar Western view with Great Britain at the centre) to tell the time. It’s an unfortunate necessity, as the perfectly circular brushed titanium case is not interrupted anywhere else except for cutouts underneath where the rubber strap connects.
