The ring watch is one of the oldest and rarest chapters in the art of watchmaking. As early as the 16th century, the first miniature timepieces worn as rings appeared in Europe — precious singular objects made for royal courts, more symbol than instrument. To wear time on the finger was to wear power.

In the 18th century, the ring watch became a courtly jewel. Set with diamonds and enamel, it travelled between the courts of Europe as a diplomatic gift. The 19th century brought miniaturisation to mastery: Swiss and French workshops produced movements only a few millimetres in size — precision hidden from view.

In the 20th century, the great jewellery houses returned to the theme again and again, yet the ring watch remained a rarity: decorative, static, overshadowed by the wrist. One detail never changed in five centuries — the dial sat rigidly on the finger. To read the time, you had to turn your hand.

This is where the new chapter begins. The CICHART 104 is the first watch in the world with a rotating and tilting case. The dial turns toward your gaze — not the other way around. Five hundred years of history, reconstructed.
