The first ever glow in the dark watches were created by Ingersoll in 1919 ("Radiolite" see picture the above watch is a bit of a homage to that).
Apparently a Hong Kong company bought up Ingersoll but now if my info. is correct comes under Timex. Uses a Miyota movement but is still pretty accurate, my Radiolite Scovill comes within a few seconds per day. Saw it in a Hong Kong Watch shop number of years ago and bought it to celebrate my first ever Watch which was also an Ingersoll.
Thanks for the history lesson. Love the gilt accents, broad arrow hand and lollipop seconds hand. 🔥 🔥!
