Mechanical watches have always been recognized for their engineering and workmanship. But most watches keep their movements hidden behind the dial. CIGA design believes the opposite. Instead of covering the mechanics, the brand puts them on full display — allowing every gear, bridge, and moving part to become part of the design. This idea is at the heart of the Hunter Collection and its campaign theme, “Nothing to Hide.” More than a slogan — it reflects a belief in honest design, visible craftsmanship, and the confidence to show what truly makes a watch work.
Founded in 2016, CIGA design has built its reputation by creating original mechanical watches that combine modern design with innovative engineering. Guided by its philosophy, “Stand Out, By Design,” the brand has received 17 international design awards, including the prestigious 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Challenge Watch Prize — one of the highest honors in the watch industry. This recognition helped introduce CIGA design to watch enthusiasts around the world and confirmed its place as one of the most creative names in modern watchmaking.
Today, the Hunter Collection has become one of the brand’s bestselling product lines. Worn by people around the world — the collection is known for its bold skeleton design, modern look, and strong mechanical character. Rather than following the style of traditional luxury watches, Hunter offers something different. It is designed for people who appreciate visible mechanics, thoughtful engineering, and products that express individuality.
A Modern Take on Bauhaus Design
The Hunter Collection follows the principles of Bauhaus design, where every detail has a purpose. Instead of adding unnecessary decoration — each watch focuses on clean lines, balanced proportions, and visible mechanical structure. The result is a collection that looks modern while allowing the movement itself to become the centerpiece.
This design philosophy fits naturally with the “Nothing to Hide” campaign. Every Hunter watch proudly displays the movement instead of hiding it behind a traditional dial. The exposed gears, bridges, and layers are not only beautiful to look at — they also remind the wearer that every movement inside the watch has a purpose. For people who enjoy seeing how things are built, the Hunter Collection offers a unique experience every time they look at their wrist.
Hunter Steel: Where the Story Begins
Every collection has a model that defines its identity, and for CIGA design, that watch is Hunter Steel.
As the original model in the Hunter family, it introduced the signature tonneau-shaped case, skeleton dial, and exposed mechanical movement that have become the collection’s defining features. Its 316L stainless steel case gives the watch a solid feel, while the curved sapphire crystal provides a clear view of the self-developed Caliber CD-07 automatic movement inside. With a 40-hour power reserve, quick-release bracelet, and comfortable everyday design — Hunter Steel offers an excellent balance between style and performance.
Hunter Steel is also the most approachable way to experience the Hunter Collection. It offers the same bold mechanical appearance that defines the series while remaining practical for daily wear. Instead of simply telling the time, it gives wearers the chance to enjoy the movement working beneath the crystal throughout the day.
Hunter Titanium: A Lighter, More Refined Experience
For those looking for a more premium version of the original design — Hunter Titanium takes the Hunter concept a step further.
The biggest upgrade is its Grade 5 titanium case, which is lighter, stronger, and more resistant to corrosion than stainless steel… This makes the watch more comfortable on the wrist without changing the signature Hunter design. The carefully finished surfaces, polished edges, and curved sapphire crystal give the watch a refined appearance while keeping the exposed mechanical structure as the main attraction.
Inside, Hunter Titanium is powered by the same self-developed Caliber CD-07 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve and Swiss Super-LumiNova for improved visibility in low light. The efficient rotor and open architecture allow wearers to enjoy the movement from both the front and back of the watch.
Unlike Hunter Steel, which focuses on everyday versatility — Hunter Titanium is designed for those who want a lighter case, premium materials, and a more refined mechanical experience while staying true to the Hunter family’s design language.
Hunter Vintage: A Fresh Look with Timeless Character
While Hunter Steel and Hunter Titanium highlight a modern industrial look, Hunter Vintage introduces a warmer and more classic style without losing the collection’s signature mechanical identity.
Available in Sand Gold, Rose Gold, and Brown Gold, Hunter Vintage brings a different personality to the Hunter family. These warm color options are inspired by traditional mechanical timepieces, yet the watch remains thoroughly modern with its open skeleton dial and bold tonneau-shaped case. It offers a perfect balance between vintage-inspired colors and contemporary design — making it suitable for both everyday wear and more formal occasions.
The watch has a 316L stainless steel case, a curved sapphire crystal, and a 40-hour power reserve self-developed Caliber CD-07 automatic movement. Swiss Super-LumiNova improves visibility in low-light conditions — while the 3 ATM water resistance adds confidence for daily use. Every detail is designed to deliver both reliable performance and lasting comfort.
Hunter Vintage shows that visible mechanics can also feel warm, elegant, and versatile. It offers a fresh option for people who appreciate the Hunter design language but prefer softer colors and a more classic appearance.
Hunter Tourbillon: The Peak of the Hunter Collection
At the top of the Hunter family sits the Hunter Tourbillon — the most advanced and refined model in the collection. It represents the highest level of craftsmanship that CIGA design has brought to the Hunter series while staying true to the “Nothing to Hide” philosophy.
Built with a Grade 5 titanium case — Hunter Tourbillon combines lightweight comfort with exceptional strength. The skeleton design is even more refined, giving the movement center stage from every angle. Through the curved sapphire crystal, wearers can admire the beautifully arranged bridges, open architecture, and the tourbillon itself, which becomes the visual centerpiece of the watch.
Powering the watch is CIGA design’s self-developed Caliber CD-011 manual tourbillon movement. Featuring twin barrels and a 72-hour power reserve — it delivers impressive mechanical performance while highlighting the brand’s growing expertise in movement development. Available in Blue, Silver, and Carbon — Hunter Tourbillon is designed for collectors and enthusiasts who want the most sophisticated expression of the Hunter design language.
Rather than simply adding a more complicated movement — Hunter Tourbillon demonstrates how the Hunter concept can evolve while remaining faithful to its original identity. It is a natural progression of the collection and showcases how visible mechanics and modern design can come together in a truly premium mechanical watch.
Completing the Hunter Family
Alongside these four flagship models, the Hunter Collection also includes Falcon and Vector, giving customers even more choices depending on their personal style and preferences.
Hunter Falcon continues the collection’s focus on exposed mechanical design in a more compact and approachable format, helping more people experience the Hunter philosophy. Vector further expands the lineup by offering another interpretation of CIGA design’s modern mechanical design language, making the overall collection suitable for a wide range of watch enthusiasts.
Together, these watches create a complete family that shares the same design philosophy — while offering different materials, movements, colors, and price points to meet different needs.
One Collection, Different Experiences
Although every Hunter watch follows the same design language, each model offers a unique experience.
Hunter Steel is the ideal starting point for anyone discovering skeleton mechanical watches — combining everyday practicality with the signature Hunter appearance.
Hunter Titanium builds on that foundation with lighter materials, premium finishing, and a more refined wearing experience.
Hunter Vintage introduces warmer colors and greater styling versatility while keeping the same exposed mechanical architecture.
Hunter Tourbillon stands at the top of the lineup, showcasing CIGA design’s highest level of movement development and mechanical craftsmanship.
Despite these differences, every model shares the same core philosophy; instead of hiding the movement — it celebrates it. Every visible gear, bridge, and component reminds the wearer that true craftsmanship deserves to be seen.
More Than a Watch — A Design Statement
The Hunter Collection is about more than specifications or materials. It represents a new way of thinking about mechanical watches.
Instead of relying on traditional luxury symbols, CIGA design focuses on original design, visible engineering, and honest craftsmanship. The “Nothing to Hide” philosophy encourages people to appreciate what lies beneath the surface — not only in the watches themselves but also in the creativity, precision, and dedication behind their design.
With its Bauhaus-inspired design language, bestselling reputation, and growing global recognition, the Hunter Collection has become one of the defining product families for CIGA design. From the accessible Hunter Steel to the sophisticated Hunter Tourbillon — every model reflects the brand’s commitment to modern mechanical watchmaking while offering something unique for different lifestyles and preferences.
As CIGA design officially introduces the complete Hunter Collection to a global audience, one message remains clear — great design has nothing to hide. Every watch in the Hunter family proudly reveals the mechanics that make it work, inviting wearers to experience the beauty of engineering every time they look at their wrist. It is a collection built for people who appreciate authentic craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the confidence to stand out — by design.
