UNLOCK YOUR INNER HUNTER
From exposed mechanics and sharpened form, Hunter emerges as a pursuit of clarity — where focus, precision, and purpose come into view, and time is met with a hunter’s gaze.
In 2021, CIGA Design’s Blue Planet watch emerged from 208 exceptional entries at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), earning recognition on one of watchmaking’s most prestigious stages.
Known as the “Oscars of Watchmaking,” GPHG celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation from around the world.
From Earth’s blue oceans to the depths of cosmic darkness, CIGA Design continues its exploration beyond conventional timekeeping.
TIME MEETS TRANSPARENCY
In 2025, Hunter Automatic begins with the urge to pursue rather than conceal. Its bold skeleton design opens the watch from front to back, bringing every gear, bridge, and angle into view so mechanics become the center of the experience. Rather than hiding motion beneath a dial, Hunter lets time appear in a form that feels sharper, more exposed, and more deliberate.
This back-to-front transparency is what defines Hunter most clearly. Built around a skeletonized bridge and base plate, the design expands visible mechanics by 200% and creates a broad, uninterrupted view from nearly every angle. It is this fully exposed architecture that gives Hunter its sharp presence — not only as a watch, but as a statement of mechanical clarity.
THE RHYTHM BENEATH THE EDGE
At the heart of Hunter is the self-developed CD-07, created to balance reliability with visual force.
Its skeletonized bridge and base plate open the movement further, while four corner screws reinforce stability and help absorb impact. Rather than sitting quietly beneath the surface, the movement is built to be part of what the wearer sees, reads, and feels.
The details carry that same intention. Polished chamfers sharpen the bridges with light, while micro-blasted finishing gives the movement a restrained satin character. The KE-efficient rotor reduces its footprint by half and centers mass for stronger energy capture through a 120-degree arc, turning winding into part of the visual rhythm. In Hunter, movement is not hidden power — it is power made visible.
STRUCTURE IN SHARP RELIEF
Hunter translates minimalism into structure through a lugless three-layered tonneau case, where bold geometry meets clean flow. Forged in 316L steel or Grade 5 titanium, the form feels architectural rather than excessive — every surface cut with purpose, every line held in tension, every angle composed to keep the watch sharp, direct, and unmistakable.
Micro-sandblasted surfaces give the case its restrained matte presence, while polished chamfered edges catch the light with precision. A DLC coating adds hardness, scratch resistance, and depth to the steel, and the sapphire crystal draws the eye inward, reinforcing the openness at the heart of the design.
Together, these details shape Hunter into a case that feels sculptural, resilient, and exact.
