Launched at EPHJ, a miracle binder now makes it possible for phosphorescence in watchmaking to venture beyond its usual territories and find its way, for example, onto the links of bracelets… <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Until now, they have been shining endlessly on the hands, hour markers and dials of timepieces\u2026 But what if the famous Swiss Super-LumiNova pigments could now be integrated into the most precious external parts of a watch?<\/p>\n

Phosphorescent watch straps and clasps<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s possible today,\u2019 says Albert Zeller Jr, CEO of RC Tritec, the Appenzell-based SME historically responsible for the luminescence of Swiss and international watches. \u2018In collaboration with Brogioli SA, we have developed a hardening ceramic binder that can be polished and integrated into any surface.\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Cottens is spearheading the growth of this new opportunity introduced by Brogioli SA\u2014a Monteggio-based company in Ticino renowned beyond the borders of fine watchmaking for its technical expertise and its craftsmanship in straps and clasps. She enthusiastically confirms the launch of a new development: a ceramic system for dark substrates, carried out in collaboration with Klaus Kappmann.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Innovative technical expertise at the service of creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its advantages? Combined curing with UV light and heat, easy application, strong mechanical resistance, high gloss, long pot life, excellent adhesion to metals, outstanding durability, and impressive hardness. In short, thanks to its rapid curing, it is perfectly suited for any polishing operation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watch designers and product managers are in luck! Their creativity is constantly sparked by technological breakthroughs and innovations that open up new territories for their craft. Brogioli SA, invested in this invention developed jointly with RC Tritec, is positioning itself as a true driving force for innovation\u2026<\/p>\n
