The following comparison was made with a x400 zoom into the dials. 

All lume application was done with SLN Standard Grade

The luminous pigments here were printed on the dial with one of most common techniques; SILK SCREEN PRINTING.
You can see the edges are not too even and you can see the luminous pigments (the small "pearls").

Probably the most common technique to apply luminous. Indexes are produced with different kind of meterials and then filled with the mixture of the luminous pigments and lacquer. You can also see here the single pigments.

WICKED WATCH CO. uses state of the art technologies to improve our products.

Here is the so called LUMICAST, the latest application method for luminous pigments. There is no lacquer need, these indexes are made into one solid ceramic like piece. You can see sharp egdes and the luminous pigments are not visible like on the other methods.

LUMICAST was used from famous brands like IWC and others. WICKED WATCH CO. brings this technology into the microbrand world.

A story we hate to share but it is the truth

New design

11 Aug, 2022
Early rendering stage of an upcoming project we are working on.  The renders are not final. There will be some changes like the bezel insert engraving style, hands. Additional dials. 41 mm diameter, 46 mm lug to lug, 12.50 mm height, powered by Sellita Elab Grade SW200-1 or Soprod Newton (could not decide yet). Lugs are 20 mm. Stainless Steel 316L with experimental hardening which gives the steel a hardness of 1800-3000 HV, we will provide a test report to proof our claims, just like with the lume, we like to verify what we promise and not just blind-trust our suppliers! Genuine Swiss Made Lumicast indices and chapter ring with highest possbile Grade of lume and some even have a lumicast dial (in the works). Hands are polished with middle chamfer. Box sapphire or maybe double domed (not decided yet). Exhibition case back. Parts are made in Switzerland and China with final assembly and QC in Switzerland with our watchmaker in La Chaux-de-Fonds. We ship from our Swiss Office worldwide. This way we can offer it at an affordable price. we are aiming at $649 including shipping. Each color will be limited to 50 pieces. How do you like it? The project is not named yet ^^
