Why not on your finger?
The mechanical watch has been with us since the fifteenth century. Over five hundred years of development, refinement, and perfection. Today, almost everyone wears one in one form or another. And yet, in these five centuries, not a single watchmaker has asked the simplest of questions: Is that actually the best place on the body to wear a watch?
The Answer.
For over five hundred years the simplest of all questions remained unasked. The CICHART® ring watch is the first answer to it. It shifts the place of time on the body — from the wrist to the finger. It dispenses with the strap. It requires no arm movement. What appears to be an aesthetic decision is in truth the first ergonomic reconstruction of the mechanical watch since its shift from pocket to arm.
It works only because an old problem had to be solved mechanically. One that remained unsolved for five hundred years because no one seriously worked on it: How does one make a dial legible on a finger? What follows is the anatomy of this solution.
Titanium case. Visible case back. Mechanical movement on the finger.
The CICHART® Ring Watch in Motion
This video shows the CICHART® Avantgarde I Ring Watch with a black guilloché sunburst dial and titanium case. The refined structure of the dial reacts to light and movement, creating a dynamic sense of depth.
One of the most striking details is the visible case back. It reveals the mechanical movement inside — gears, rotor, and precision in motion are not hidden, but deliberately displayed.
The lightweight titanium case, red crown, and CICHART Red accents form a clear visual signature. Combined with the ring and the rotating and tilting construction, it creates a timepiece designed not for the wrist, but for the finger.
Wearable Art. German Design. On the finger.
Created for the Few
A CICHART ring watch is not a product that is readily available. Its manufacture requires exceptional precision, high-quality materials, and a design that goes far beyond conventional watchmaking.
Every single watch undergoes a process that demands time, artisanal care, and technical perfection. Anyone who wears a CICHART owns not just a watch, but a rare piece of modern watchmaking history.
An object created for collectors, individualists, and visionary wearers—whose value lies not solely in its materials, but in its rarity, its concept, and its future.
Individuality
A CICHART® ring watch is not worn as an accessory. It is worn as a position. It occupies the space between precision instrument and architectural object — visible on the hand, impossible to misread. Its presence does not ask for attention. It commands it, without asking. For those who have long chosen their objects deliberately — and for whom the wrist is no longer enough.
only with the best
Exquisite timepieces today are born where the finest specialists in their fields meet – across continents and time zones. CICHART sees itself as a curator of an international team of watchmakers: Swiss movements, German engineering and high‑precision manufacturing partners worldwide are all orchestrated around a single idea – to elevate the ring watch to a level no single workshop could achieve on its own. What matters is not the postcode of each facility, but the result they create together: a mechanical object in which every detail bears the signature of people who rank among the very best at what they do.
