What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CIGA Design TIME CIPHER

The CIGA Design TIME CIPHER is praised for its fun and conceptual execution of a wandering hours display, offering a unique spectacle in a slim and wearable 45mm case. Reviewers highlight its intuitive complication, comfortable strap, and the striking "Super Black" dial designed to make the moving elements appear to float. The CD-08 automatic movement, based on the Miyota 9015, provides a 42-hour power reserve, with stated accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds per day. Some legibility challenges are noted due to the stencil-style numerals between 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. Overall, reviewers consider the CIGA Design TIME CIPHER a compelling and well-executed conceptual watch offering a good balance of spectacle and wearability at its $899 price point.

CIGA Design TOURBILLON CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE DRAGON

The CIGA Design TOURBILLON CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE DRAGON is noted for its striking, luxe design and unique materials, featuring a mirror-polished black agate case and a "Super Black" dial with a dragon-shaped tourbillon cage. Owners highlight the golden dragon's steady rotation and the way the black dial makes diamond hands and the tourbillon stand out. However, reviewers point out uneven gem-setting and a limited 30-meter water resistance. Some community members note inconsistent brand lettering quality and find the case design comparable to an Apple Watch. The CIGA Design TOURBILLON CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE DRAGON is a compelling conversation piece, with owners valuing its unique aesthetic and the tourbillon's visual appeal despite some finishing inconsistencies.
