SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: CIGA Design - J Series zen inspired automatic

Post by TheJohnP »

CIGA Design have recently launched their latest unique offering, the J Series, which is inspired by Japanese zen.
Surprisingly this is their FIRST Kickstarter, but they have had several successful campaigns via Indiegogo.
This is already fully funded and only a couple of Super Early Bird slots left.


Super Early Bird pricing is $369
Early Bird pricing is $399
Kickstarter pricing is $429
Regular price will be $532

Estimated delivery is October 2020

As they describe it, the CIGA Design J Series is:
- Exclusively designed to enhance the experience of flowing time, meditation, and Zen.
- Inspired by Karesansui gardens and forged from meticulous Japanese mechanics and innovative design philosophy.
- Imbued with distinctive consideration for the beauty found in symmetry, purity, and mechanical refinement.

The J Series is available in either a white or black colorway:

The long minute and second hands are equal in length and span across the entire dial. Together, they cross at varying times to form different visual patterns and symmetrical X-shapes that are a joy to behold and are highly recognizable at a glance.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Interesting idea! So big though...

I wonder if it'd be more zen without the open heart in the middle haha

CIGA is a fan of exposed dials.

Personally I'll stick with Humism.

Yes, I guess it's not an open heart.

Humism is cool!
