The Atlantic Lives Within, Driving Forward the Spirit of Discovery and Connection
The Legacy of the Atlantic, Captured in a Timepiece
HONG KONG, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Atlantic Ocean has long symbolized courage, ambition, and the pursuit of the unknown. It catalyzed the Age of Discovery, challenging explorers to cross uncharted waters and forever changing history. Dissolving boundaries and connecting Europe, Africa, and the Americas, cultures met, ideas flowed, and countless souls pursued freedom. In June 2025, CIGA design , an independent GPHG Award-winning brand, honors this spirit with the Blue Planet II • Atlantic, a timepiece that embodies the Atlantic's enduring legacy.
The Blue Planet II • Atlantic features CIGA design's award-winning Asynchronous-Follow Movement Technology, inspired by ancient sundials and honored by the GPHG. A single compass hand indicates both hours and minutes, gliding across a dynamic minute dial and a stationary hour ring. With every 30° movement of the hour gear, the minute dial rotates 390°, creating a unique and intuitive expression of time in harmony with the globe's rhythm and ocean currents.
Beneath a curved sapphire crystal, the CNC-engraved dial unfolds the vast contours of the Atlantic, intricately capturing the essence of diverse landscapes. From the rugged Rocky Mountains to the towering Andes, the deep Gulf of Mexico to the sun-drenched Mediterranean, each engraving reflects the distinct identity of its region. As night falls, luminous markers glisten like moonlight on the ocean's surface, while a refined strap offers effortless comfort, ensuring every journey is a seamless experience.
