In the Second World War, a Japanese businessman and his team began to develop luminescent paint, and after the successful development, he equipped Japanese military aircraft and submarines with luminous instruments.
The Japanese businessman had to find other uses for his luminous products after the end of World War II, after a less military demand for the paint.
From then on, he went to every household to paint the hands and marks of the watches and then to paint them.
Just then, Nemoto company was born and further developed on phosphorescent pigments.
By 1993, Nemoto had succeeded in developing night-light paint, and watches that had been painted with the paint he had developed had been called LumiNova by the watch industry.
The invention has been patented and licensed to other watch brands and manufacturers.
Then RC Tritec AG was established as a Swiss company with a license to produce and sell LumiNova under the registration name Super-LumiNova.
So Super Luminova in Switzerland has been born since then.
Super-luminova's biggest feature is that the coating doesn't age and can be brightened with sunlight or flashlights.
The most common use of Super-luminova in Switzerland is the dial and hand.
