Stainless Steel – Strength at Its Most Elegant

The case, ring and joint of the CICHART 104 are crafted from robust stainless steel. Its high strength allows the joint to be securely anchored, providing a stable foundation for the ring watch’s distinctive rotating and tilting function.

The precise connection between these components places considerable demands on the material. Softer gold or silver alloys could deform or become damaged during assembly in this construction; under adverse stress, fractures could also occur. Stainless steel provides the stability needed for a lasting, reliable connection.

Stainless steel also makes the ring and case resistant to impacts and everyday wear. Its hard surface helps resist scratches, combining lasting quality with the elegant lustre of an exceptional piece of jewellery.

Crystals and Diamonds – A Circle of Light

The fully set bezel gives the CICHART 104 its distinctive radiance. Depending on the version, sparkling crystals or exquisite brilliant-cut diamonds frame the mother-of-pearl dial. With every movement of your hand, their facets catch the light, creating a captivating interplay of reflections and lustre.

Brilliant-cut diamonds feature carefully arranged facets that reflect and refract light, producing their characteristic brilliance and delicate flashes of colour. Faceted crystals also create luminous accents, emphasising the watch’s circular shape.

The carefully crafted settings showcase each individual stone. Together with shimmering mother of pearl and polished stainless steel, this sparkling circle creates a piece of jewellery whose beauty extends to the smallest detail.

CICHART 104 – The Secret of Mother of Pearl

The mother-of-pearl dial lends the CICHART 104 ring watch a distinctive depth and natural elegance. Formed in delicate layers, this exquisite material reveals a captivating play of light that changes with every movement of your hand.

• A Living Shimmer: Depending on the viewing angle and light, the mother of pearl reveals delicate shades of silver grey and soft pink alongside iridescent hues. With each movement, the CICHART 104 unveils another facet of its beauty.
• Your Personal Signature: The natural structure of mother of pearl makes every dial unique. No two share exactly the same pattern or shimmer, giving each CICHART 104 with a mother-of-pearl dial a character of its own.

Sapphire Crystal – Clarity. Exceptional Hardness.

The sapphire crystal of the CICHART 104 protects the dial while revealing its fine details and shimmering mother of pearl. Its high transparency highlights the depth and elegance of the design.

Crafted from synthetic sapphire, it offers exceptional hardness and excellent scratch resistance. It helps preserve the beauty of the dial through everyday wear, combining a clear view with lasting quality.

The joint. The core of the invention.

A watch on the finger obeys different laws than a watch on the wrist. The finger moves, turns, grips. A rigid ring watch forces the hand into position – whoever wants to read the time must adapt to the watch.

The CICHART 104 reverses this principle. Its case sits on an integrated ball joint: it rotates and tilts. The dial aligns itself to your eye – not your eye to the dial.

What feels self-evident did not exist before. The CICHART 104 is the first watch in the world with a rotating and tilting case. Developed through 104 construction stages, proven in over 1,000 tests, made in Germany.

The joint is more than engineering. It makes the RING WATCH wearable in the truest sense: a watch that stays readable in any position. An accessory that adapts to the hand – not the other way around. Without the joint, the 104 would be a piece of jewellery with a dial. With it, it is a watch worn on the finger.

Swiss Movements – The Art Within

Inside the CICHART 104, Swiss watchmaking expertise meets an exceptional construction. Depending on the version, the ring watch is powered by the Sellita SW100 automatic movement or the Ronda 1062 quartz movement. Two Swiss manufacturers whose precision complements its elegant design.

The automatic version combines the fascination of mechanical timekeeping with the freedom of the ball joint. Integrating an automatic movement into a rotating and tilting ring watch requires careful engineering. Within a remarkably small space, the movement, case and joint must fit together precisely. This union of fine mechanics and an articulated construction is an expression of refined watchmaking craftsmanship.

In the quartz version, the Ronda 1062 offers a slim profile and precise timekeeping. Its discreet integration preserves the clean proportions of the CICHART 104, making it an elegant everyday companion.

The quality of the CICHART 104 extends to every hidden detail: a piece of jewellery on the finger, and a thoughtfully engineered timepiece within.

The Result: Exceptional Materials for a Unique Construction

Robust stainless steel, shimmering mother of pearl, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and finely integrated luminous hands come together in the CICHART 104 to create an exceptional ring watch. Each material serves a distinct purpose: providing stability, protecting the dial or making the time visible in darkness. Natural mother of pearl gives every watch its individual character.

Depending on the version, sparkling crystals or exquisite brilliant-cut diamonds complement the design. Their carefully crafted settings and captivating play of light accentuate the jewellery character of the CICHART 104.

The precision stainless steel ball joint connects the ring and case, enabling the distinctive rotating and tilting function. The result is a piece of jewellery that combines elegant design with an adjustable watch mechanism.

Applications covering the design of the CICHART 104 and the construction of its ball joint have been filed with various patent offices. Together, they form the heart of a ring watch distinguished by its materials, functionality and unmistakable shape.
