Description
The CIGA Design R Series RSEW/SS is a captivating mechanical watch that transforms traditional horology into wearable art. With its striking skeletal rose dial and architectural detailing, this timepiece reveals the mesmerising inner workings of its automatic movement, offering a transparent view into the mechanical heart that powers it. The sculptural three-dimensional dial design evokes the delicate petals of a Danish rose, a signature motif that has earned CIGA Design international acclaim for its avant-garde approach to watchmaking.
Housed in a polished 316L stainless steel case and complemented by a sophisticated white leather strap, this watch balances technical prowess with contemporary elegance. The automatic mechanical movement eliminates the need for battery replacements, winding itself through the natural motion of your wrist—a hallmark of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of CIGA DESIGN watches, offering you the assurance of authenticity and full manufacturer warranty protection with every purchase.
This R Series model is designed specifically for women who appreciate mechanical complications and artistic design language. The transparent dial construction allows you to witness the precise interplay of gears, springs, and jewels as they orchestrate the passage of time. CIGA Design's reputation for pushing horological boundaries is evident in every detail, from the sculptural case architecture to the carefully finished movement components visible through the dial.
Whether you're seeking a statement piece for special occasions or a daily companion that sparks conversation, the RSEW/SS delivers both visual drama and mechanical reliability. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience this remarkable timepiece in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch automatic or does it require a battery?
A: This is an automatic mechanical watch, meaning it winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist as you wear it. It does not require a battery. If the watch stops due to inactivity, simply wear it or gently shake it to restart the movement. For optimal performance, wear it regularly or consider a watch winder if you rotate between multiple timepieces.
Q: What is the water resistance rating of the R Series RSEW/SS?
A: This watch is rated at 3 ATM (30 metres), which provides splash resistance for everyday wear. It can withstand hand washing and light rain, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve its mechanical integrity.
Q: Can I see the movement through the dial?
A: Yes, absolutely. The skeletal rose dial design is specifically engineered to showcase the automatic mechanical movement beneath. You can observe the intricate gears, balance wheel, and jewels as they work in harmony to keep time. This transparency is one of the defining features of the R Series collection.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The white leather strap is designed for ladies' wrists and can be adjusted by our in-store team to ensure a perfect fit. We offer complimentary sizing services at our Johannesburg showrooms. If you require strap adjustments after purchase, simply bring the watch to us and we will ensure optimal comfort.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, this watch carries a 1-year CIGA DESIGN manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover normal wear and tear or accidental damage.
Q: Is CIGA DESIGN a reputable watch brand?
A: CIGA DESIGN is an internationally recognised contemporary watch brand known for its avant-garde design philosophy and mechanical innovation. The brand has won multiple international design awards, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. CIGA DESIGN specialises in creating mechanical watches that blur the line between horology and architectural art.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap in the future?
A: Yes, the strap is replaceable. If you wish to change the strap for a different colour or material, please contact us at Cassims & Co. and we can assist you in sourcing compatible replacement straps. We also offer strap replacement services in-store.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This watch is covered by a 1-year CIGA DESIGN manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes movement malfunctions caused by manufacturing defects.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, cosmetic damage (scratches, scuffs), leather strap deterioration, crystal scratches, water damage due to misuse or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, damage caused by accidents, impacts, or unauthorised repairs, or loss of the watch.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised CIGA DESIGN retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
- Servicing and Repairs: All warranty service must be performed by authorised service centres. Cassims & Co. will facilitate warranty claims and arrange servicing on your behalf.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Wear your automatic watch regularly to keep it wound. The movement is powered by your wrist motion, so consistent wearing ensures optimal performance.
- Water Exposure: With a 3 ATM rating, avoid submerging the watch in water. Remove it before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. Wipe away any moisture immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. Consider using a watch winder to keep the movement active.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials.
- Strap Care: Leather straps require special attention. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, and lotions, which can cause discolouration and deterioration. Rotate with other watches if possible to extend strap life.
- Servicing: We recommend servicing your automatic mechanical watch every 3-5 years to ensure longevity. Our authorised service centre can perform movement cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment to maintain precision timekeeping.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, as these can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Impact Protection: While robust, mechanical watches contain delicate components. Avoid impacts, drops, and extreme shocks that could damage the movement.
