The CIGA DESIGN Year of the Snake is the iconic timepiece for 2025

The Chinese zodiac is an integral part of Eastern culture, where each person is born under the sign of an animal. In 2025, the Year of the Snake arrives, symbolizing wisdom and vitality. While many watch brands release zodiac-themed timepieces, CIGA DESIGN approaches the zodiac with a deeper understanding, believing that the zodiac represents living forces rather than just totems. image is not available

Snaking To Life

For this reason, their Year of the Snake watch brings the snake to life in a unique, modern way. The standout feature of this watch is the snake that lies at the heart of the design. Through symbolic abstraction and sculptural techniques, the snake appears to rotate, embodying its vitality.

Notably CIGA DESIGN utilizes their patented “Non-Synchronous Follower Technology” to create precise timekeeping, with the snake’s head indicating the hours and its tail representing the minutes. As the hour dial remains stationary, the minute dial shifts, with the tail following, ensuring accurate time display.

Dynamic Art

The serpent, plated in gold, is set against an abstract pattern that resembles snake scales, emphasizing the creature’s dynamic nature. This design embodies the symbolism of prosperity and vitality associated with the Year of the Snake. The watch’s case is crafted from jadeite, a material with centuries of cultural significance.

Additionally, its jade-like warmth adds a layer of depth to the watch, highlighting its unique Eastern character. CIGA DESIGN’s Year of the Snake watch is a perfect fusion of cultural reverence and contemporary design. It celebrates both the timeless traditions of the East and modern craftsmanship, creating a striking, symbolic piece for watch enthusiasts. image is not available
