Introducing the CIGA Design Black Star Watch: A Cosmic Timepiece Like No Other
CIGA's Innovative Timepiece Draws Inspiration from Black Holes, Absorbing Radiation Instead of Emitting It
The CIGA Design Black Star watch is making waves in the world of horology with its unique and captivating design. This timepiece, inspired by the enigmatic mysteries of black holes, stands out from the crowd with its mesmerizing void-like dial.
At the heart of the Black Star watch lies an 8.5mm concave pit, coated with a Super Black pigment that absorbs an astonishing 99.6% of visible light. This results in a mesmerizing effect, reminiscent of gazing into the infinite cosmic depth of a black hole. Surrounding this light-absorbing centre is a galaxy rendered using CMYK gradient printing, featuring blue pixelated arcs and scattered white stars, adding to the watch's celestial theme.
To enhance the cosmic narrative, a luminous polar-star hand orbits around the black hole, indicating the time. This hand, symbolizing a celestial navigator, adds a touch of magic to the already captivating dial.
While the Black Star watch maintains the same Swiss-made automatic CIGA CD-04-S movement as the Blue Planet II, it offers a fresh visual and thematic experience. The technical aspects of the watch are largely the same, but the Black Star's innovative black hole-inspired dial with the Super Black pigment sets it apart from the Blue Planet II line.
Compared to the Blue Planet II models, the Black Star watch offers a distinct shift from terrestrial to cosmic aesthetics. The dial design, colour scheme, hand display, case material, and conceptual theme all contribute to this change, creating a timepiece that is truly unique.
Each purchase of the Black Star watch comes with a handwritten letter from Label Noir, adding a personal touch to your purchase. The watch itself is not a limited edition and has a water resistance of 30m, similar to previous iterations. It retails for $1,980, making it a valuable addition to any watch collection.
The Black Star watch's deep space inspiration, void-like, light-absorbing dial, and cosmic aesthetics make it a standout piece. Its contrast with the Blue Planet II’s Earth-centric design, while maintaining the same innovative mechanical architecture, makes the Black Star watch a must-have for any watch enthusiast.
Each watch comes with custom packaging made from recycled paper, and the black fluoro rubber strap complements the deep black dial aesthetically and enhances scratch resistance. The watch also features a quick-release system for easy strap swapping.
In summary, the CIGA Design Black Star watch offers a unique and captivating cosmic experience, unlike any other watch in the Blue Planet II line. Its innovative design, coupled with its technical prowess, makes it a must-have for any watch enthusiast.
The Black Star watch is now available on CIGA Design's website for $1,980.
The CIGA Design Black Star watch, with its cosmic-inspired design and unique void-like dial, sets it apart as a standout piece among wearables, technology, and gadgets. Its enthralling fusion of style and cutting-edge technology, embedded in the realm of horology, makes it an essential addition to any watch collection.
