Like many other American success stories; Luminox came from a forward-thinking individual realizing a need in the market and meeting it. Barry Cohen; a watch industry veteran; came across a Swiss self-powered illumination system and knew that it would make watches more visible and easier to read in low or no light situations. He asked his friend Richard Timbo if he would like to join him. Luminox was born in 1989 (Lumi is Latin for light while Nox is Latin for night); driven by a commitment to offer cutting-edge luminescence and readability in its line of high-performance sport watches. Luminox offers mens watches that provide you with superior design and exceptional accuracy.Luminox self-powered illumination (LLT) allows one to view time at-a-glance; no matter what the light level; even in complete darkness up to 25 years of complete darkness; in fact. Being able to read time effortlessly under any and all circumstances fills a need for various military and law enforcement groups; which is why the U.S. Navy SEAL Procurement officers came to us asking us to create dive watches for them for night missions. It is also why U.S. Air Force pilots flying the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Jets approached us. These are only two of many groups of heroes that truly understand and appreciate the inherent benefit of wearing a Luminox timepiece. As for the rest of the population: When was the last time you had to fumble for a light switch or a button on your watch in the dead of night? Wear a Luminox for a week and you won�t want to miss it.
