With self-powered illumination - Luminox Light Technology (LLT) allows one to view time-at-a-glance, no matter what the light level, even in complete darkness.
Luminox is a Swiss made watch. All
Luminox watches are built with fantastic breakthrough technology-Self-Powered
Illumination. You need to do nothing to
make this watch glow; it simply adjusts to the level of light. Each watch has micro-gas lights stored inside
on the hands and hour markers (and sometimes on the bezel itself, depending on
the design). These capsules allow for
the face of the watch to be read in any level of light, even in pitch
darkness. The result is a watch that is
100 times more luminescent than any other watch of its kind on the market.
With its Swiss movement, long-lasting illumination power,
and its water and shock resistance, this is a timepiece that is built to last.

History
The Luminox Watch Company began as an American success story and is evolving into a global brand. As has been said many times, “necessity is the mother of invention” and the Luminox story is a classic example.
In 1989, the founder Barry Cohen, already in the watch business, found a need and filled it, when he learned of a unique Swiss self-powered illumination system, and 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 then visited the small Swiss firm in an attempt to develop a new brand of watches that would employ this unique illumination system (now called Luminox Light Technology), and a watch brand was born.
The rest, as they say – is history. Today, Luminox can be found in more than 30 nations with more being added regularly.
