Taking cues from outside the traditional watch making world, Angular Momentum has come up with a fantastic new way to light the night.

This glowing power is achieved through a balanced mixture of organic "Blue Luminous Sulfate", "Titanium White" and "Nashiji Urushi", the transparent Urushi lacquer produced in Japan from the sap of very old tree branches.

The application process of Glowing Urushi is done one layer at a time. This is the same technique as with normal Urushi but in this case, the artist uses a spatula instead of a brush.

The dials are put in the "Furô" with a constant temperature of 25°C and humidity of 75% upside down which allows the heavy sulfates to "sink" to the surface. While the Email Lumineuse can only be applied on horizontal surfaces, the Glowing Urushi can be applied also on vertical and round surfaces.
Oh yeah - there is actually a watch under this amazing dial!
A polished three-piece case made of 1.4435NcU Staybrite steel. The dial is 38.00 mm, protected by a double curved sapphire crystal. Powered by an historical 1960 new-old stock hand-winding movement - in this case an AS caliber 1703, 18‘000a/H, 21 rubies, with a power reserve of 49 hours. 1.20 gr dial of 15 layers of Glowing Urushi with Clou de Paris Guilloche.
