Not many people know about this watch - second GEN blue planet 2 by ciga design

[@antonyknight]

Great to see you again! Happy New Year Joe!!

[@sq3stonk]

I own several watches priced over $10,000, ranging from Rolex to Patek Philippe, but I also have a deep appreciation for watches like Laco's pilot and Seiko's casual. Thanks to the introduction from this channel, I ended up purchasing the Blue Planet 2. As a traveler of this planet, I find it impossible not to love this watch.

[@johnrodwell2281]

It is definitely eye-catching. Looks really interesting. It's not the kind of watch that I would buy for myself, but I absolutely respect it and I'm glad to hear it did well in the market.

[@willemp6432]

I agree.

[@jozsefizsak]

I'm pleased that these marvelous watches have been successful in the market.

[@martinlouden9005]

I gave your first review of this watch quite a scathing tongue-lashing as I recall. Since then I must admit that I've warmed to it and this new model is a great improvement. My son's 20th birthday will soon be upon us and he has shown quite an appreciation of watches over the past couple of years. I like this watch sufficiently that I will most probably buy him one for his birthday. Thanks Joe. I wish you and your family peace and a happy, healthy new year .

[@aserta]

If someone were to 3D print a metal clasp kit that turns the top into a pocket chain loop and fills the bottom to reintegrate the shape, it would be a perfect pocket watch for the gentlemen who still enjoy such things.

[@macmac8249]

….and it would still be a pretentious overpriced ‘globule’ parked in YOUR pocket.

[@73abu]

Fantastic Video Mr Joe the Master watchmaker & Happy new year...

[@watchrepairtutorials]

You’re one of the few watch channels that I enjoy watching. I wish we could sit down and have a beer and just talk.

[@NekkidWatchmaker]

Thanks Alex, means a lot coming from the godfather. I don’t drink but a coffee, definitely sir. A prosperous new year to you and yours.

[@watchrepairtutorials]

@ oh man, I love a good flat white. It’s funny you mentioned godfather. Ever since I grew out my beard I now have people referring to me as Gandalf, Santa Claus and grandfather. 😂 my kids think it’s hilarious.

[@NekkidWatchmaker]

@ lol, but I wasn’t talking about the good rugged looks

[@MrAbfam]

ASLMWALKM DEAR Nekkid the Watchmaker nice to see you and the bluer Blue Planet, your channel is my favourite Fard on you tube.

[@2NIWRAD2]

Wow. I love the new one better. I was kinda unsure from the older ones. But the new upgrades. Perfectly enhanced the watch where it was needed.

[@aserta]

You're still the only channel that actually uses their timer tester properly, in all positions and orientations.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Nekkid Watchmaker 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! I'm astounded about myself that I like the model with the gold best. Unfortunately I cannot afford something like this and I don't wear wrist watches (because I always destroy those unintentionally, sigh). But with a cover/lid and something to put on a nice chain, this hemisphere watch would make a great pocket watch. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.

[@StumpkillerCP]

“What time is it?” “Ummmm . . . India?”

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

No silly… it’s half past Uganda 🇺🇬😄

[@drewdonald6260]

I lost it when I saw this! Best comment here!! 😂

[@AplusStrategy]

Impressive presentation indeed. The watch is probably not an every day wearer for me, but as an occasional conversation piece - perhaps at a new year's party...

[@corybodiker6243]

What’s going on everybody glad to see you back with new videos

[@seadweller321]

I’ve never understood the fanfare this watch got , GPHG awards winner 2021 , 20 years before this seiko made the Think the earth WN-1 and WS-1 northern hemisphere dial and southern hemisphere dial, the design is the same , love your content and moral compass ❤️

[@muneeb-khan]

Still was thicccc

[@_BangDroid_]

Totally agree, look at some of the other watches in the 2021 Challenge category, Behrens B023 or the DWISS M3 are equally or more novel than the Blue Planet, they just lack the mention of covid and platitudes in their description.

[@skooterfd]

Beautiful watch! They did a great job in the design!

[@amphibiousone7972]

That is wild, its cool. Definitely only for dress. I can see ot working with a wide variety of clothing styles and looks.

[@FrankRoden-wm2lm]

Greetings Joe ...Very attractive time piece I would like to thank you for inspiring me into becoming a beginner watchmaker. Though watching your videos....I am always learning and amazed by the history of watches !! Happy New Year !!

[@Zaaphod]

Ciga is such a unfortunate name for us in slavic lands, as "ciga" is slang for cigarette. Ciga Design sounds to us as if two manual workers with cigarettes in mouth are trying to figure out why those two walls they just built aren't at right angle. But, since we slavs live in wrong hemisphere, we were not target audience, obviously. Still, a nice watch.

[@ricardochaveste7367]

Interesting piece..my goodness 4 now and 1 on the way.... not my couple tea, but I'm glad it is doing well around the globe. Thanks for the update... until next time, love and peace...

[@markgardiner5150]

So glad to see a video from you, have missed videos! Different watch for sure!

[@rovcanada1]

From one Joe to another ... lovely to hear your dulcit tones again, marrah! I'm a Scouser, so you'll have to use your imagination as to how I said that.

[@kleinbrynbaranfrande]

Eyyy!!! Happy New Year!!!🎉😁

[@bushybwoy]

Wow, I love this watch

[@-Astro--]

Happy New Year Joe. It's beautiful that can't be denied. 👍

[@AFCUK67]

I wanna a Ciga one day

[@kevinbarefoot8949]

Great review, love the jacket Joe

[@tommern84]

Oh my GOD! That watch are so incredibly GORGEOUS! It almost make me tear up ❤

[@dperreno]

This is a cool watch at a very achievable price! I think that they made the right decisions in the Gen II version - the planet looks more like a sphere, the numerals are more legible, and the polished finish does look more premium. Good job, CIGA! Now, if they would come out with the ceramic version in black...

[@michaelfonseka7657]

Thanks Joe, nice but I wouldn't wear it. Buy it and leave it in the box as a collector piece....definately Yes. Happy New Year❤😂🎉

[@richardsims3847]

A step up from Gen 1.Nice to hear you again.Have a great 2025.

[@Bobsyouruncle222]

I'm not saying it's an ugly watch , the attention to detail is very good , the watch is also not that expensive at 1200$ . What I am saying is that the majority of the watches on their website look extremely similar to 20$ watches I've seen on AliExpress. So maybe wait a few more years before bitting this bullet Also love the videos , if you ever get the chance would love to see how a bulova movement ticks

[@RobMyself]

Love you content, but i think this is the first I've seen you so a review. I like it! You should do more 😊

[@insideout2600]

Beautiful

[@OinkReutel-xd7lh]

I myself like the Tibet and Taiwan part of the dial the best.

[@jerrysanchez5453]

I honestly think it's beautiful. Such a nice blue.beauty is in the eye of the beholder though

[@paulwooller4524]

Very interesting - but not for me but different all the same

[@PCMcGee1]

What a beautiful watch. I know it's quality if you stand behind it! Can't wait for the new one.

[@bullnose01]

The world is not a flat plane under a dome. . . it's a curved plane under a dome. I knew it! 😵Very shiny, and it spins nicely on the table top. Happy new year, Joe. Ditch that cold soon.

[@tonybooth249]

I like it, dressy with the big dome. Seems much easier to read now too.

[@mrimmortal1579]

Hi, Joe! It’s hard to give an honest opinion of it, without being able to feel it on my wrist and see it up close. Get them to send me one, and I’d be more than happy to give my honest review of it! 😂

[@adelheidsnel5171]

Happy new Year Joe! it looks like a compass but I'd love to wear it as a pocket watch I think

[@laststopwatchchannel]

Happy New Year. What a cool looking watch.

[@Beck-Stein]

Price?

[@mrimmortal1579]

Yep, it certainly does have lots of that!

[@timsampson5229]

Hmm...the strap's nice... Happy New Year!

[@KelvynTaylor]

Impressive piece of art for the price

[@UnconsciousCompetence]

I'll wait for the pocket watch version.

[@pghgb5572]

I think you are correct to say that an alternative planet view version might attract additional punters - plus there would be more versions for the collectors to chase after!

[@Shpeil]

Happy New Year to you. The watch is not my cuppa but I always enjoy your vids.

[@roblowrie1969]

Hey Joe. Happy New Year to you and yours. It's a stunning piece, but I'm sure it's not going to be everyone's cup of Rosie! I like something a bit different, and love this. The changes are well thought out, and certainly make it easier to read. Take care. 👍🏻

[@jerryjungle5717]

That's massive, I've only got skinny wrists. 👍🏻 Happy New year 🍻

[@georgejames8718]

It's a beautiful timepiece.

[@farmerjimbob67]

Happy New Year fella 🎉

[@ansis86]

Very pretty watch! Although I’m disappointed that despite it being proudly Southern Hemisphere they left New Zealand off. I mean, we’re totally used to it and all and I guess they could argue there’s not even all of Australia on there but if they are looking at your comments I’d just like to wave the flag around a bit just in case they want to issue a variety of landmasses to widen their sale appeal 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@jessebob325]

Looks beautiful. I agree with your assessment. 👍🏻☕️

[@rafalitosuperestar7234]

Really wonderful watch, in the design aspect it may worth the money they're asking for, but it's too much for me. But as I say it's a really beautiful watch to wear

[@lawrencepater9947]

Happy new year Joe... great review, I agree that a northern hemisphere model would be more appealing. Encouraging to see that tye company listens and modifies its models in a relatively quick time. Such a unique design deserves a refresh to widen the market. 👍

[@johnmcmunn3827]

GREAT To See & Hear you in the New Year ... Enjoyed this short review ... Must say I'm not a fan of this release .. The Dome Face is much too High, also the mirror finish.. not my Cup-o-Tea .... cheers happy New Year...

[@darrenone97zero]

Some great shots Joe, a new lens for crimbo? Good to hear from you again. Happy new year

[@tiffer67]

I bought the 1st generation model & have to say that I found it difficult to tell the time with it. The increased size of the indices is a huge improvement to the watch. If you're thinking of buying one, I can definitely vouch for the quality of the watch, it's beautifully finished.

[@Christian-op1ss]

I prefer both the style of the font (not the size) and the case and glass shape of the original . This seems a step back.

[@alancampbell1008]

The Blue Planet is the only version of Ciga watch I don't own. I don't know why but there was just something about the original that didn't do it for me, quite possibly because it was so flat. This version has made me think again, thanks Joe for fuelling my Ciga addiction 😂

[@scousewillo62]

Happy new year all. These watches are not my cup of tea, but that is a good thing as it would not do if we all liked the same things. I can still appreciate the work that goes into these watches and it is by pushing the boundaries that improvements and innovations can trickle down into watches for the benefit of all

[@lostgrunt7833]

I might be wrong, but i think they where about $800 USD when first introduced. But now i think they are double that. I would like to buy one when they bring out the northern hemisphere.

[@jugo8990]

Jesus this thing is beautiful

[@ynottteris]

Happy New Year to you Joe, nice that they have listened to the reviews, as someone with small wrists its not for me. I will add though that I have now finally after two years of searching managed to find, buy and happily wear an Oris Super 17 jewel watch, the same as in one of your earlier reviews.

[@LeMe-s4z]

😊😊😊 u have on hand🌍🌎🌏

[@devdammit40]

I prefer my Omega Dynamics but this an interesting watch! Cheers..

[@Savvagad]

Приветствую ,мастер! По поводу часов впечатления неоднозначные, как прибор для считывания информации ( времени).... Тут полный 0! Хотя думаю дело в привычке! А вот дизайн впечатлил, объёмное изображение поверхности Земли ,форма корпуса... В целом часы не на каждый день.. Моё сугубо скептическое мнение!!! Вас с наступившим Новым годом! Наилучшие пожелания Вам и вашей семье в новом году!!! И конечно больше снятых видео в будущем! Лайк, привет из Сибири!!!!

[@barkin-brit486]

Its stunning. Sadly my eyeholes don't work the way they once did and I think I'd struggle to read it.

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

I like it but I’m not sure for how long I’d keep it. A bit like those cool Atowak watches. Excellent value for money but I doubt it would be a keeper. Stay well brother

[@razakayani262]

stay blessed 👍

[@dcallan812]

Nice.

[@fattmatt200]

Not worried about titanium, would prefer a affordable steel range for the enthusiast with shallow pockets.

[@philliplopez8745]

You need to employ indirect lighting . Diffusing reflectors would eliminate those reflections .

[@johnsrabe]

You did ask what we think of the watch, so: it looks pretty, and fun, but it’s nothing I would ever wear, even if it was inexpensive.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Joe, happy new year to you & all your family... 🙂 All the very best to you all & looking forward to seeing lots more videos from you in 2025 🙂 Let there be peace on earth for everyone in 2025 & beyond🙂nz*

[@santaclause2875]

Pretty neat.

[@ianweniger6620]

Happy new 2025, bruv!

[@redbarchetta8782]

I like them, but I think they missed the mark downgrading to a 21,6 8 series Miyota. Should have gone with the 9 series.

[@fargogemini694]

Pls take it to bits

[@Mobin92]

At first I thought this was designed to put on your desk as a paperweight and watch.

[@CarlosBrandao54]

Relógio muito bonito

[@rmsbrooks5606]

Happy New Year to you and your family, given the state the world is in, you and yours stay on my mind a lot, even as this world seems to be hurling in the wrong direction. I pray you are all in good health. I love watching your videos, I am not a "tinkerer" as you'd call it, but ever since your videos came up in my feed I am a faithful viewer. Love the jokes, and didn't know how ignorant I was about watches or these watch histories. Keep doing what you do, be blessed, and stay healthy. And keep cranking out these video's. Peace unto you.

[@Turbo-Drew]

My 7 Year old Said it looked like a Toy Watch !

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Looks like a viscount biscuit, not for me, but too ott for trips to Aldi.

[@stevebolt7132]

I'd really want them to have fitted the strap.

[@jensers11]

Hard to think someone wearing this to actually read the time. Strap is a strange contrast to the case and style. It’s not a sports watch.

[@PixelVogue]

Ciga ciga right from Cuba cubaaa

[@daveyoder9231]

These watches give me conflicting reactions. It's not a Richard Mille 56mm mess, but the time cannot be read effortlessly. The finishing and design are gorgeous. I am not personally interested, but I encourage anyone who is attracted to support the innovation.

[@glynnepritchard2526]

Happy new year Joe my comment is that the map is awful, like its been drawn from memory. The Red Sea looks like it connects to the Caspian Sea and not the Med plus a few other bloopers

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

Looks like a pocket watch ⏱️😆

[@dennismerlijn7459]

Even more confusing than a seven-friday watch. Miss youre regular updates hope youre well!

[@paulpietruszewski4226]

Not a big fan of the design but if I were to want one, I would need it to have North America on on the globe.

[@Mike_Regan]

I think it needs more packaging.

[@johnsrabe]

3:24 if I had to guess, I’d say 90% of images of the Earth are northern hemisphere centric. I personally think it’s more interesting to see the part we don’t usually get to see. Why do you watch buyers need to see the northern hemisphere? They’re not using this map for driving, are they?

[@seadweller321]

❤

[@cmdrflint9115]

Holy shitballs, I love it, are these things expensive?

[@UnholiestJedi]

$1200 USD

[@billsmith5166]

The Silk Road was in the Northern Hemisphere.
