It’s the latter that’s deployed in Sarpaneva’s
watches, and a forthcoming 2.0 upgrade,
plus other strontium aluminate (the active
ingredient in all luminova) products new

near future. They look likely to provide the
kind of fine tolerances required in high-end
watchmaking, allow a move away from the use
of plastics, and will mean whole glowing parts
can be easily integrated into a watch design.
