Description
The CIGA Design Full Hollow Automatic Watch is a masterclass in contemporary mechanical horology, where architectural transparency meets Swiss-inspired automatic engineering. This 40mm cushion-shaped timepiece features a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate beauty of its mechanical movement, with every bridge, gear, and wheel visible beneath a domed sapphire crystal. The silver-toned openwork architecture is complemented by striking red accents on the hands, creating a visual harmony between industrial aesthetics and functional precision.
Housed in a robust 316L stainless steel case with a distinctive double-bezel construction, this automatic watch measures 11.5mm in thickness and sits comfortably on the wrist via a finely woven stainless steel mesh bracelet with sliding clasp adjustment. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers up to 40 hours of power reserve, ensuring reliable timekeeping whether you're in the boardroom or exploring the city. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this exceptional example of independent watchmaking that challenges conventional design while maintaining mechanical integrity.
The Full Hollow series represents CIGA Design's commitment to democratising haute horlogerie aesthetics, offering skeletonised complexity at an accessible price point. The watch is water-resistant to 30 metres, making it suitable for daily wear with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned collector or discovering mechanical watches for the first time, this unisex timepiece offers a captivating introduction to visible movement architecture.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, the CIGA Design Full Hollow features a unisex 40mm cushion case that suits a wide range of wrist sizes. The adjustable mesh bracelet ensures a comfortable fit for most wearers, and the contemporary skeleton design appeals across gender preferences.
Q: What does "fully skeletonised" mean?
A: A skeletonised watch has had non-essential material removed from the movement bridges and dial to reveal the inner workings. The Full Hollow showcases the automatic movement's gears, wheels, and oscillating balance wheel, offering a transparent view of mechanical horology in action.
Q: Does this watch need battery replacements?
A: No, this is an automatic mechanical watch powered by the natural motion of your wrist. It requires no battery. When worn regularly, it will wind itself automatically. If left unworn for more than 40 hours, you can manually wind it using the crown or simply wear it to restart the movement.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With 30-metre water resistance, this watch can withstand light splashes and brief immersion, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing it before any significant water exposure to preserve the movement and case seals.
Q: How do I adjust the mesh bracelet?
A: The Full Hollow features a sliding magnetic clasp that allows micro-adjustments for a perfect fit. Simply slide the clasp mechanism along the mesh to tighten or loosen the bracelet. No tools are required, making it easy to achieve optimal comfort throughout the day.
Q: What is the power reserve, and what happens when it runs out?
A: The watch offers up to 40 hours of power reserve when fully wound. If you don't wear it for more than 40 hours, the movement will stop. Simply give the crown approximately 20-30 manual winds to restart it, reset the time, and continue wearing it normally.
Q: Is CIGA Design a reputable watch brand?
A: Yes, CIGA Design is an independent Chinese watch manufacturer known for innovative, affordable mechanical watches with architectural design influences. The brand has won multiple international design awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, and has gained recognition for offering Swiss-style skeletonised movements at accessible prices.

- Magnetic Fields: Keep away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.

- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider a watch winder to maintain automatic movement operation.

- Servicing: We recommend professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement.
