A limited-edition watch collection paying tribute to the late Formula One team owner Eddie Jordan is set to launch in Monaco in early June, with proceeds supporting the Eddie Jordan Foundation.
The collaboration between Chinese watchmaker CIGA Design and the EJ Foundation centres on two versions of the brand’s Hunter model. The first, the EJ Hunter, is limited to 191 pieces — a reference to the Jordan 191, the car that marked Jordan Grand Prix’s debut in Formula One in 1991. The second, the Hunter Tourbillon, is restricted to just 15 pieces, each corresponding to one of the 15 Formula One cars developed by Jordan Grand Prix across the team’s history. Both editions will be available exclusively through the Eddie Jordan Foundation.
A connection rooted in shared values
According to CIGA Design, the collaboration originated from a letter sent to the watchmaker by the Eddie Jordan Foundation in October 2025, revealing that Jordan had been a regular wearer of the brand’s Edge model. The company says it was moved to create a tribute that reflected what it describes as a shared philosophy — accessible design, confidence without ostentation, and value through integrity.
CIGA Design, founded in 2016, has accumulated 17 international design awards and positions itself as a brand making mechanical watchmaking accessible without sacrificing design ambition. Its Blue Planet model won the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Challenge Watch Prize in 2021, widely regarded as the industry’s most prestigious accolade.
Foundation with Monaco roots
The Eddie Jordan Foundation was formally launched at the Monaco Yacht Club last May by Prince Albert II, in the presence of Jordan’s family and close friends. Operating from Dublin, London, Monaco, and Cape Town, it offers scholarships, mentorship programmes, and access to a global alumni network, targeting young people across sport, music, sailing, and business.
The tourbillon edition is intended for auction through the foundation, with the Hunter edition available for direct purchase. Each watch in the tourbillon series is accompanied by a certificate documenting its place within the Jordan Grand Prix timeline, from the 191 to the final EJ15. Packaging for both editions takes the form of a book-style box crafted from recycled paper, tracing Jordan’s life alongside the watch itself.
Further details on the Monaco launch event are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
