# Moon Landing-Themed Watch Designs CIGA Design's Moon Walker Pays Homage to the Lunar Landing By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-09-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker References: [newswire](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ciga-design-sets-foot-with-moon-walker-carrying-humanity-s-first-lunar-step-in-a-watch-869141426.html)  [CIGA Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-planet-ii-black-star) — a watchmaker previously recognized by the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève — has introduced a new mechanical timepiece named the Moon Walker. This design draws its thematic inspiration from the [Apollo 11](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mission-to-the-moon-1969-watch) lunar landing. The primary distinguishing feature of the Moon Walker is its time-telling mechanism. While the dial has been meticulously engraved to replicate the Moon's surface topography, with CIGA Design referencing high-resolution [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622) data to ensure accuracy, a miniature astronaut figure traverses above the dial as the conventional hour and minute hand. The Moon Walker incorporates several other subtle tributes to the historic event, including micro-engravings of Neil Armstrong's footprint and the landing coordinates, which are only visible under magnification. Constructed from titanium and sapphire crystal, the timepiece utilizes a Swiss automatic movement and is presented with a fluororubber strap.
