Dark-themed timepiece from CIGA draws inspiration from black holes, possessing a unique ability to absorb light
CIGA Design's Black Star Watch: A Stunning Tribute to the Cosmos
CIGA Design has unveiled the Black Star watch, a timepiece that pays homage to the enigmatic beauty of black holes. With a unique aesthetic inspired by the cosmos, the Black Star offers a visually striking watch that is sure to captivate space enthusiasts and watch connoisseurs alike.
At its heart, the Black Star features a Super Black pigment dial, reminiscent of the light-absorbing nature of a black hole. This pigment gives the dial an extremely deep black appearance, enhancing the watch's dark, cosmic theme. The case, crafted from black DLC-coated grade 2 titanium, adds to the watch's durability and contributes to its overall monochromatic look.
The watch's design is further accentuated by a skeleton design, which lends a futuristic, celestial vibe. The hands and time markers are fully lumed with Super-LumiNova, creating a glowing contrast against the pitch-black dial and mimicking celestial light patterns. A luminous polar star hand orbits around the darkness, tracking the time, while a galaxy rendered through CMYK gradient printing adorns the dial, complete with blue pixelated arcs and scattered white stars.
Despite its size, with a case diameter of 46mm and a thickness of 15.6mm, the Black Star is wearable thanks to an integrated lug design. The watch strap, made of black fluororubber, completes the monochromatic look.
The Black Star retains the CIGA CD-04-S automatic movement, offering a 4Hz beat rate, 41-hour power reserve, and an accuracy of +15/-30 seconds per day. The watch also maintains a water resistance of 30m.
For those drawn to celestial or sci-fi aesthetics, the Black Star is an ideal choice. It is now available through CIGA Design's website for $1,980. Each purchase comes with custom packaging made from recycled paper and a handwritten letter from Label Noir, the Swiss atelier that influenced the design of the Blue Planet II Black Star.
This collaboration between CIGA Design and Label Noir introduces a unique aesthetic to the watch industry, transforming the brand's signature single-hand timekeeping into something cosmic and captivating. The Black Star is not a limited edition, so fans of the brand can enjoy this celestial masterpiece whenever they wish.
This CIGA Design's Black Star watch, inspired by cosmic beauty, is a wearable technology piece that stands out with its stylish design and wearable size. It boasts a Super Black pigment dial, a skeleton design, and luminous elements, creating a celestial and glowing contrast. Available for $1,980 on CIGA Design's website, it is a fascinating addition to any collection of gadgets and wearables.
