  • in 2021, CIGA Design's U-Series Blue Planet watch became the first Chinese made watch to win a highly coveted GPHG Award - the Oscars of the watch industry, if you like, putting the brand amongst such respected past winners as Audemars Piguet, F.P Jaune, Czapek, Rolex, Tudor, Zenith and many others. Yet this unusual, award-winning watch costs less than $1,000!
    CIGA Design recently sent me a Blue Planet watch to take a look at. Check out my full hands-on review and let me know what you think in the comments!

    That packaging is so creative! 😮

    It's an impressive watch and you get something unique and for $800-less-20%, but I'm satisfied just admiring it from afar.
    I'm from the Philippines, so I liked that i could see my country on the dial. 😁

      Thanks man 🙏 it's definitely something different and I'm pleasantly surprised about the materials, the quality of the finishing and that packaging. It shows what Chinese manufacturers can do if they put their minds to it.

    I've got this and the 'Lunar Exploration' version too, it's a really cool piece- had a lot of comments and compliments on it in the past coupld weeks

      I haven't seen the Lunar version - I'll have to check that out. There's a new ceramic and gold version launching later this month and I've got a video coming on that one.

    To be honest....A packaging channel would interest me. I'm a bit obsessed with it.

    Very clever design indeed. Very artistic and the effort should be applauded. Not sure about its sheer heft and or the legibility drawbacks. I guess once used to how it shows the time it becomes more clear to the wearer, but not one I'd consider for myself.

    • @Escapement24
      @Escapement24  Рік тому

      It wears surprisingly well (and smaller than the dimensions would suggest) tbh. But it's not a piece I could see myself wearing often.

    Check GPHG 2019 they submitted the watch with the americas dial and it did not win. The 2021 version looks way better. I don’t think is a shame if it’s an Asian watch it’s great they represent their map. I like the planet the same.

      @@Escapement24 I wouldn’t disagree with that. Watch looks nice but a bit of a beast for sure! Would still like to try in the metal though. Top marks for highlighting a completely unknown Chinese brand.Shows what can be done for sub £1K. 👍🏻
