IWC claims the Ceralume material can emit a bright bluish light for more than 24 hours. Dr Lorenz Brunner, research and development manager at IWC, said: “With our first luminous ceramic case, we underscore our role as a pioneer and innovator in ceramic watches. The development of Ceralume took several years.
“The main challenges we faced were producing watch cases with maximum homogeneity and meeting our exacting quality standards. To achieve these goals, we engineered a ground-breaking new manufacturing process, which is tailored to the unique combination of ceramic powers and Super-LumiNova pigments.”

IWC says the new Ceralume technology “will be at the foundation of future developments and releases,” but doesn’t say whether the concept watch pictures here will actually go on sale.
