What are luminous hands?

Luminous hands on a watch refer to the hands (hour and minute, and sometimes the second hand) that have been treated with a phosphorescent material. This material absorbs light from various sources, such as sunlight or artificial light, and then emits that light over a period of time, allowing the wearer to read the time in low-light or dark conditions.

At Jowissa, we incorporate luminous hands into select models to enhance their practicality and legibility. This feature ensures that the time can be easily discerned, even when visibility is limited. The application of luminous material is carefully considered in our designs to complement the overall aesthetic of each timepiece while providing functional benefit to the wearer.
