Black Badger
Are you Plasma Purple, Aqua Blue, Emerald Yellow or Sky Blue? Canadian firm Ambient Glow Technology (AGT) has developed its own lume whose multiple applications include architecture and decoration as an additive for the sand used to manufacture concrete. James Thompson, founder of Black Badger Advanced Composite, uses AGT’s luminescent technology for his glow-in-the-dark rings. In 2015, Black Badger entered the watchmaking arena through collaborations with Stepan Sarpaneva, for the Korona K0 Northern Lights series, and with MB&F for its HMX and Starfleet Machine. The excellent photoluminescence is partly due to the thickness of the material – which is also true for RC Tritec’s Lumicast and for Invicon’s HyCeram SLN containing Swiss Super-LumiNova.
