Our Story: The Essence of Seoul in Every Tick

Founded in the vibrant, ever-evolving city of Seoul, Sigan Lab Korea was born from a deep appreciation for minimalist aesthetics and a relentless pursuit of exquisite craftsmanship. Our name, 'Sigan' (시간), which gracefully translates to 'time' in Korean, serves as a constant reminder of our core philosophy: to design and create timepieces that stand the test of time, transcending fleeting fashion trends. We firmly believe that true elegance lies in simplicity – in clean lines, harmonious forms, and the subtle artistry found in understated design.

Our journey began with a singular vision: to make high-quality, beautifully designed watches accessible to enthusiasts around the globe. By choosing a direct-to-consumer model, we eliminate unnecessary intermediaries, allowing us to invest more in premium materials and skilled artistry while maintaining competitive pricing. This approach ensures that owning an exceptional timepiece doesn't have to be an unattainable luxury.

Every watch produced by Sigan Lab Korea is not just an accessory; it is a meticulous creation, a testament to our unwavering commitment to detail, durability, and enduring style. Our designs are profoundly inspired by Seoul itself – a city where ancient palaces stand in stark contrast to futuristic skyscrapers, where tranquil tea houses meet bustling design studios. This unique juxtaposition of tradition and innovation is woven into the very fabric of our watches, resulting in pieces that are both grounded in heritage and forward-looking in their simplicity.

From the initial sketch on a design board in Seongsu-dong, the creative hub of Seoul, to the final assembly and rigorous quality checks, every step is carried out with precision and care. We collaborate with experienced watchmakers who share our passion for excellence, ensuring that each Sigan Lab Korea watch meets the highest standards of performance and aesthetics. Our aim is to provide you with more than just a device to tell time; we offer a piece of wearable art that reflects sophistication, thoughtfulness, and the timeless spirit of Seoul.

We are proud of our heritage and the values that guide us. Sustainability, ethical sourcing of materials, and creating products that last are integral to our operations. We strive to build a brand that resonates with individuals who appreciate minimalist design, quality craftsmanship, and a connection to culture. Thank you for exploring Sigan Lab Korea and considering one of our timepieces as a companion for your journey through time.

Built to Last, Designed to Impress

Every Sigan Lab Korea watch is a product of meticulous design and engineering, conceived and refined in our Seoul studio. We believe that true quality begins with the selection of superior materials. Our cases are crafted from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, known for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties, ensuring comfort and longevity on your wrist. To protect the exquisite dials, we use only scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, offering unparalleled clarity and resilience against daily wear and tear. Beneath the surface, reliable quartz or precise automatic movements power our watches, chosen for their accuracy and dependability, ensuring your timepiece keeps perfect 'sigan'.

Inspired by Seoul's Unique Rhythm

Our design philosophy is deeply rooted in the captivating energy and visual richness of Seoul. This dynamic metropolis seamlessly blends ancient heritage sites with cutting-edge modern architecture, creating a unique urban tapestry. This fusion of historic tradition and contemporary innovation directly inspires our watch designs, resulting in timepieces that are not only functionally robust but also aesthetically refined. Each watch captures a facet of Seoul's essence – perhaps the clean lines of a modern building, the subtle textures found in traditional Korean patterns, or the harmonious balance seen in Korean calligraphy. This connection to Seoul's spirit ensures our watches possess a unique character and a refined minimalist appeal that resonates globally.

Common Questions About Sigan Lab Korea Watches

Our watches are crafted using high-quality materials selected for durability and aesthetics. This typically includes surgical-grade 316L stainless steel for cases and bracelets, known for its strength and corrosion resistance. We use scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, which offers superior clarity and protection compared to standard mineral glass. Straps are available in genuine leather, sustainably sourced where possible, or matching stainless steel mesh/links, depending on the specific watch model and collection.
Sigan Lab Korea is proud to offer international shipping to a wide range of countries worldwide. We partner with reliable shipping carriers to ensure your order arrives safely and efficiently. Shipping costs and estimated delivery times vary depending on the destination country, customs procedures, and the chosen shipping method. You can view the applicable shipping options and costs during the checkout process before finalizing your purchase. Please note that recipients are responsible for any potential import duties, taxes, or customs fees levied by their country.
We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. All Sigan Lab Korea watches come with a comprehensive 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects in the watch movement, case, and strap (excluding normal wear and tear, battery life, accidental damage, or damage from improper use). If you encounter an issue covered under warranty, please contact our customer service team with your order details, and we will guide you through the repair or replacement process.
To ensure your Sigan Lab Korea watch remains in pristine condition for years to come, we recommend following a few simple care guidelines. Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), strong magnetic fields (like those from speakers or some electronics), or harsh chemicals (such as solvents, detergents, or perfumes), which can damage the movement, case, or strap. For regular cleaning, gently wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Leather straps can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allowed to air dry; avoid soaking them. Check the water resistance rating of your specific model before exposing it to water.
Yes, most Sigan Lab Korea watches feature a degree of water resistance, but the exact rating varies by collection and model. Please refer to the specific product page or the watch's case back for the water resistance rating (e.g., 3 ATM, 5 ATM, 10 ATM). A rating of 3 ATM is suitable for splashes or rain, 5 ATM is generally safe for showering or light swimming (though we recommend avoiding consistent water exposure to preserve strap life), and 10 ATM is suitable for swimming but not deep diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing your watch to any moisture.
