Luminox Swiss Watches
Affordable, Rugged, and Swiss Made Military
Style Watches
Luminox watches are true Swiss
watches that glow in the dark and have a rugged, military look
to them. Luminox watches all have a self-powered illumination system that glows without the need to
push a button or be exposed to light. Your watch will glow
continuously for more than 25 years and the illumination on each
watch is guaranteed for 10 years.
The Luminox Watch Company is an
American success story. The company was founded in 1989 by Barry
Cohen. When he heard of a unique Swiss self-powered illumination
system, he reasoned that this would be a very helpful addition
to the watch business, making watches more visible and easier to
read in low or no light situations. This seemed quite logical
since one of life’s realities is degeneration of eyesight as one
ages, and finding methods to see anything better (in this
case—time) made sense. He contacted the owner of the
illumination company, and acquired the rights to use the
technology in a new brand of watches employing this unique
illumination system, now called LLT (Luminox Light Technology),
and a watch brand was born.
All of the Luminox timepieces are
Swiss Made and are fitted with high grade, jeweled Swiss Made
quartz movements. All Luminox watches must undergo
additional manufacturing steps that other watches do not
require. The Luminox self-powered illumination system must be
installed into each and every watch. It is a costly and time
consuming endeavor, but it is what makes Luminox watches
special. |
