When we started out we never said a thing about how our watches would glow or even really state they would. We just showed lume in the spec.
So I don't want everyone to think we are going to have the best glow in the world. But I will say I feel it will be better than a lot of brands. =)
Having said that we have decided to spend more money on each of our dials in effort to get the best performance we can get from the lume we are using on our dials. We are also using the top grade of lume compound Tritec offers.
The dial producer we are going with typically would only do 3 layers of lume for a top name brand watch.
We have decided to go with 8 layers. I am not quite sure if the numerals on our MM03, and MM04 will be able to handle that many layers as they are so thin.
But we do know the markers above the numbers will handle it.
The photo's below we know are crappy =). These have 3 layers of lume on them and our from the dial suppliers 2nd round of samples.
As you can see our Dragon Lady in the field who took these photo's. Did not get the focus right and she made the mistake of doing a night lume shoot with the flash on. So you really are not able to get the full effect of how these look in the dark. =(
First our MM01 which due to it's design is more lume friendly. Also note that they did put the lume in all of the areas they are supposed to on this model.
Next is our MM04 which we know because of the design the numerals will not glow as well as the MM01.
But to make up for that we are going to have them lume hell out of the markers above the numbers. This they did not do here... On the next round of samples they should be doing those.
