Introducing the Cíor 928, a 36mm timepiece born from a heartfelt vision and inspired by the pioneering aviatrix, Mary, Lady Heath. Designed by our founder, Peter, with the idea of creating a watch his mother could wear, this piece has evolved into a bold statement of our design philosophy and dedication to storytelling through craftsmanship.
A Journey of Inspiration: The Legacy of Mary, Lady Heath
The Cíor 928’s design is inspired by the extraordinary life of Mary, Lady Heath, a trailblazing aviatrix who made history in 1928. As the first person—male or female—to fly a small open-cockpit aircraft from Cape Town to London, Lady Heath’s remarkable achievement is immortalised in the watch's name: 928. Her daring journey across the skies embodies the very essence of the Cíor 928—fearless, bold, and determined.
Cíor, meaning "search" in Irish, represents the spirit of seeking new horizons and daring to explore beyond what is known. This ethos is woven into the fabric of the Cíor 928, making it a watch that goes beyond mere functionality. It tells a story—a story that invites the wearer to embrace challenges, live with purpose, and push the boundaries of what is possible.
Craftsmanship and Design: A Tribute to Excellence
The Cíor 928 is designed with the utmost attention to detail, reflecting our dedication to quality and precision. Available with or without diamonds and in a range of colours (with more on the way) —the watch features a 36mm case made of 316L fine brushed and polished stainless steel, ensuring both durability and elegance. A flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal and caseback protect the watch’s dial, while offering a clear view of the craftsmanship beneath from behind.
The integrated bracelet is a standout feature, seamlessly blending with the case for a sleek and refined look. Whether you choose the classic Rosé, sophisticated Pitch Black, or vibrant Emerald Abyss, each colour evokes a distinct feeling of adventure and vitality.
For those seeking something more luxurious, the Cíor 928 Prestige version is available in two stunning finishes: Mother of Pearl and Starry Night. Both options are adorned with 60 individually applied diamonds (0.6ct of natural D color VS1 clarity diamonds), elevating the Cíor 928 to a new level of prestige and refinement.
Swiss-Made Movement with Belfast Precision
At the heart of the Cíor 928 is the Sellita SW260-1 automatic movement, a Swiss-made movement known for its accuracy and reliability. Each watch is hand-built in Belfast, with the movement meticulously adjusted to ensure a tolerance of +5/-5 seconds—a testament to Nomadic’s commitment to perfection. The movement also features a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a beat rate of 28,800 bph (4Hz), providing the wearer with precision and performance throughout their day.
A Call to Action: Live Boldly
The Cíor 928 is more than just a timepiece; it is a call to action. Inspired by Lady, Mary Heath's daring adventures, the watch encourages its wearer to seek new horizons, embrace challenges, and pursue greatness in their own life. Whether you’re embarking on a physical journey or seeking personal growth, the Cíor 928 serves as a reminder that greatness is achieved by those who live boldly.
