Year of Snake

The Chinese zodiac is a unique element of Eastern culture. Every year, numerous watch brands release special Chinese zodiac-themed watches. However, CIGA DESIGN believes their understanding of the zodiac is somewhat off because in Eastern belief, the zodiac is living and is not just a totem. In the East, each person has their own animal, their "zodiac". 2025 is the Year of the Snake. In zodiac culture, the snake symbolizes wisdom and vitality.

The most prominent feature of this watch is the snake in the center, expressed through symbolic abstraction and sculptural techniques. The snake rotates, symbolizing its vitality. Utilizing CIGA's patented "Non-Synchronous Follower Technology," the watch achieves precise timekeeping: the snake's head indicates hours while its tail indicates minutes. While the hour dial remains stationary, the minute dial moves, and the snake's tail follows, accurately indicating both hours and minutes.

The satin-textured snake in the center of the dial is crafted with gold plating. The golden snake lies on an abstract pattern resembling snake scales, embodying the snake's dynamic nature and symbolizing prosperity and vitality in the Year of the Snake.

In harmony with zodiac culture, the case is made from traditional jadeite, a material with thousands of years of history. Its jade-like warmth highlights the watch's unique Eastern character.

Committed to blending culture with contemporary design, CIGA DESIGN has created a modern watch celebrating the Year of the Snake, imbued with both contemporary style and unique Eastern charm.
