CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd jTWYmb fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: IWC<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Having figured out how to make the case and ensure a smooth even glow, the IWC team then had to make sure the end result lived up to the same standards of durability expected of a normal ceramic watch, famed for their scratch resistance and surface hardness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Other watch brands, including Bell &amp; Ross and Zenith, have created fully- or partly-luminous watch cases by infusing fiberglass, quartz, or carbon polymers with Super-LumiNova. But none had attempted it with ceramic until now. \u201cWhen you have ceramic, the scratch resistance and durability is on a completely different planet,\u201d claims Brunner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cWhen we mix zirconia with Super-LumiNova, as material scientists, we call it [a mix of] structural ceramics and functional ceramics. Structural ceramics give the physical stability of a material, and functional ceramics a certain function, in this case the luminosity,\u201d says Brunner. \u201cWhen you mix two of them together you will probably lose some of the mechanical stability, because when you have 100 percent zirconia, you have full strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">&#8220;What we found out is that in terms of hardness, measured with <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Young's_modulus\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Young's_modulus&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Young's_modulus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s modulus<\/a>, we are at the same level. So the scratch resistance will be exactly the same as a standard ceramic. We reduced the fracture toughness a little; if you drop 100 pieces, the risk of breaking some of them would be higher when you introduce Super-LumiNova. But the reduction is surprisingly not that dramatic. We did all the [normal] testing internally, with the shock tests ranging from 25G to 5,000G, and it passed all the tests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The longevity of the Ceralume watch\u2019s luminous glow is a direct function of the sheer amount of Super-LumiNova present; despite being interspersed with ceramic, it is capable of absorbing a significant amount of energy from sunlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The case, meanwhile, is impervious to UV damage. \u201cIt depends on the sheer mass,\u201d confirms Brunner. \u201cIf you imagine, normally in a standard watch, you have hands and maybe some indices that are in Super-LumiNova, which is a very low amount\u2014fractions of grams. Here we\u2019re talking about a whole case, and also in the strap you have more Super-LumiNova.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The strap, Brunner says, is comparatively simple to engineer, without the concerns of sintering, shrinkage, and color fastness. \u201cOf course, one important thing is to get it completely homogeneous. That&#8217;s always difficult when you mix, say, a plastic or a resin with hard particles,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of trial and error, the final result, achieved by working with the same specialist supplier that creates IWC\u2019s existing ceramic cases, was a ratio that found \u201cthe optimum balance between mechanical properties and luminosity.\u201d That was far from the only hurdle to clear, however.
