The dimmest glow discernible by a dark-adapted human eye is 3.2 nCd/mm2 or 3.2 nanocandela per square millimeter.
The ISO standards:
A luminous dial with 11 numerals glow with an intensity of 36nCd.Its hands must be at least 10nCd.
Photoluminescence / Phosphorescence
In photoluminescence, the energy is supplied by electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light). A photoluminescent material absorbs light for a significant period of time, then emits light with a lower frequency than that of the absorbed light.
In the 19th century, scientists paid particular attention to the phosphorescent properties of zinc sulfide. If copper or cobalt are included in the crystal lattice of the zinc sulfide, it can glow for hours after the exposure has ended.
The main drawback in using photoluminescent material in watches and clocks is that the luminescence diminishes rapidly and totally disappears after a few hours.
Radioluminescence / Autoluminescence / Radium
Radioluminescence can glow without any exposure to light and it is produced by nuclear radiation. Gamma and X-rays or Alpha and Beta particles are used to excite the electrons in a radioluminescent compound such as zinc sulfide. This type of radioluminescent material was used in watches for about 80 years.
Autoluminescent zine sulfide will continue to emit clearly visible light for several years.
Although radioluminescent material can produce bright and long lasting light, it is harmful. Therefore, it is prohibited from using in watches or clocks.
Tritium
Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. It replaced the radium after World War II
The radioactivity is composed entirely of Beta particles that are nearly completely absorbed by the watch crystal or glass covering the dial. The tritium used in watches today is in compliance with the ISO 3157 and NIHS 97-10, which define the acceptable minimum levels for the amount of luminescence required to see the watch dial in the dark.
Depending on the quality of the radioluminescent compound, it can conserve its ability to luminescence for several years. The quality also influences the luminous intensity, which also depends on the surface and thickness of the deposit. The pigments of the natural yellow tint yield the best results.
Although Tritium is being used, it is harmful. All application or repair on watches or clocks must be handled with care - Do not touch the luminous dials and hands with your hands.
Self-Powered Micro Gas Lights (3H)
This Swiss technology safely captures pure tritium gas in a mineral glass tube coated with luminescent material. The light is produced when the electrons of the tritium strike the luminous phosphors on the inside of the glass.
Super-LumiNova
Super-LumiNova was first synthesized in the 1960s. This is a non-radioactive luminous material.
If the strontium aluminate is enriched with two rare earth metals, europium and dysprosium, and exposed to sunlight for a few minutes, the compound remains noctilucent for many hours.
Sunlight activated Super-LumiNova initially glows much more brightly than tritium. After about 2 hours, its luminosity declines to the same intensity as tritium. For the next 6 hours, its brightness continues to wane until the value of 7nCd/mm2.
If the material is activated by artificial light, the brightness is only 1/10 as bright as sunlight activated one. The brightness will reach the threshold of visibility for the unaided eye.
If the markers or hands have been coated with enough Super-LumiNova, they will remain legible up to 12 hours.
LumiNova can be greenish, bluish or greenish-blue. The color is determined when the strontium aluminate is enriched. When the LumiNova is viewed in daylight, the colors is almost limitless, it can be white, black, ... The colors are achieved by dying the crystals of the luminous material with a variety of coloring agents which are organic, fluorescent or non-fading colorants.

Does the Sale of Replica Watches Sponsor Terrorism
There is prevailing rumor floating around the Internet about replica watches. Somehow the replica watch industry has been linked with world-wide terrorist organizations. Being involved in the replica watch industry now for over 5 years this would be news to me. To my knowledge there is no more of an identifiable link between replica watches and terrorism than there is between Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Both ideas are constructed "facts" by a regime hungry for support of their policies.
Replica, or "Fake", watches have been with us since the technological revolution in Asia in the late 1970s. Given access to industrial equipment and seeing the weakness in their governments to enforce trademarks of foreign nations (or their ability to look the other way) many entrepreneurs have sprung up to feed a need. Replica watch makers have produced literally millions of fake Rolexes, Panerais, Omegas, and dozens of other top-named watch brands.
Working on "off-shifts" in factories that would normally produce legitimate goods during the day these replica watch makers produce counterfeit goods of varying quality. Looking to sell cheap $20 souvenirs to curious vacationers? Watches can be produced with low quality (and low price) materials to meet this price point. Selling to the burgeoning "Swiss Replica" market in the United States and Europe? Then the materials and manufacturing methods go up a notch because of the higher margins.
The people are motivated solely by replica watch industry’s lure of easy and fast money. These watches are produced in volume and put into the hands of dealers and distributors around the world. As long as the governments where these factories are located (China, Thailand, Taiwan) are lax in their support of international trade and trademarks fake watches will remain a profitable seller for these manufacturers.
Like any other marketable good these watches will sometimes make it into the hands of people who have no connection to the original maker but may have some other agenda. But the percentage of these people in the replica watch industry is minimal. 90% of the people selling these watches have some direct Asian connection to the manufacturers, and are also approaching the enterprise as a business.
To my knowledge there is no more of an identifiable link between replica watches and terrorism than there is between Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.
Definitely, these watches are illegal goods. The manufacturers have to contend with raids, custom seizures, bribery pressure, and all the things that come with the territory when you try to circumvent the government’s wishes. They deal with this by inflating their prices to cover these "expenses", and pass this overhead onto their dealers and ultimately their customers.
There is no overriding terrorist organization that is linked to the manufacture or distribution of these goods. These men are driven by the fact that there is a thriving market for this product in the United States. It is this willingness for people to pay $900 to $1,500 online for a fake watch that costs $75 to manufacture that continues to drive this industry.
But these manufacturers aren't tied to the replica watch business. The minute it becomes unviable from a financial standpoint (their governments put more pressure on them, or less likely, there’s a decline in interest in replica watches in the Western world) they’ll immediately stop manufacturing fake watches and move onto the next profitable item.
While terrorism can be linked to illegal activity let's not link it where there is no hard proof. Fake watches are a problem of international trade, not international terrorism.

Anti-magnetic Watch
Anti-magnetic (non-magnetic) watches can run with minimal deviation when exposed to a certain magnetic field.
According to the DIN 8309 (Deutsche Industrie Norm - German Industry Norm), an anti-magnetic watch must resist a magnetic field of 4,800 A/m (Ampere per meter) or about 60 Gauss and have a maximum deviation of 30 seconds per day.
2 Ways of making an anti-magnetic watch:
1. Using different alloys
Alloy Components
Glucydur beryllium, bronze
Invar carbon, chromium, iron,nickel
Nivarox beryllium, chromium, iron, nickel, titanium
Elinvar chromium, iron,nickel
Less resistant to magnetism and more resistant to thermal influence than Invar
Different components of these alloys have different properties. Since the 50's Nivarox and Glucydur were extensively used by the watchmakers. Starting with the 60's almost all Swiss watches had Glucydur balance and Nivarox hairsprings. The anchors, escape wheels and other parts of the timing mechanisms were also made of non-magnetic materials or alloys.
2. Another way of making an anti-magnetic watch is to surround the entire movement by a case made of a highly conductive (permeable) material. The movement is covered by an additional soft-iron clasp to prevent the forming of magnetic fields inside the watch itself.
Drawback: the watch case is relatively big and thick.
The second method is used widely because of its low cost and low technology; however, Most famous brand would use both methods to increase the anti-magnetic ability.
Magnetic field:
A magnetic field is a force field that surrounds electric current circuits or it can also be found in the vicinity of ferromagnetic materials such as iron.
In daily life, all electric appliances produce magnetic field. Moreover, audio speaker is a common source of magnetic field.
That is why not only engineers need anti-magnetic watches.
Examples of anti-magnetic watch:
IWC
In 1989 IWC assembled the Ingeneur which was able to withstand a huge magnetic field of 500,000 A/m. In 1993, when IWC celebrated its 125th birthday, the company substituted this model with a more conventional Ingeneur, resisting a magnetic field of 80,000 A/m.
Ball
Engineer Hydrocarbon series can withstand 12,000A/m.
Other anti-magnetic series can withstand 4,800 A/m.
Rolex
In 1950's Rolex assembled the Oyster Perpetual Chronometer Milgauss Ref. 6541 which was able to withstand 1000 Gauss or about 80,000 A/m.

Choosing Watch
Style
Dress WatchThe most common is gold, plain, and thin. A rotating bezel, or any bezel with markings on it, is not suitable. The dial and hands are less important, but avoid thick markings and hands with lots of tritium. Moreover, chronograph is not a good choice, too. If the watch is gold, get it on a strap - you may spend less money with better looking.
Sports WatchThese watches are usually large, water-resistant to some degree, and have thick, luminous hands and markings. Two important sub-categories are Diver's Watch and Pilot's Watch. All modern Divers' watches are inspired by the Rolex Submariner, and all Pilots' watches are inspired by the IWC Mark XII or earlier.Remark: Nowadays, "Diver's Watch" is a style. If you do not want to die, make sure your Diver's Watch meets the standard before you dive !!!
Designer WatchThese watches are designed by someone with a worldwide reputation, and the designer's name is publicized. These watches are more like an art work than a watch.
If you are going to buy a watch, you should choose a style at the beginning.
Case Materials
A watch case can be made of any solid, but some common materials are: plastic, metal, high-tech materials (e.g., ceramic, pulverized diamonds). The cheapest watches are made of plastic, the most expensive watches are made of gold, white gold, platinum or some high-tech materials.
If you are going to buy a Sports Watch, Gold may not be a good choice. This is not because of the price, this is because gold is much softer than stainless steel and titanium.
Bracelets or Straps
A wristwatch should have a bracelet or strap to attach it to your wrist. If the attachment gets its flexibility from solid parts (made of the same material as the case) that are linked together, it's called a bracelet. If the material is inherently flexible (e.g., rubber, leather), it's called a strap.
A bracelet is always designed for a particular watch model, or at least a series of models from the same manufacturer.
Straps, however, are frequently bought separately from the watch, and for a very simple reason: They wear out frequently.
If you are going to buy a dress watch, a leather strap will match your suits or tuxedo.
Quartz or Mechanical
Most people think that mechanical watch is for rich people; however, Seiko offers lots of choices to the world for less than US$50.
The truth is most expensive watches are Mechanical but the most user friendly watches are Quartz.
If you are going to buy a watch for daily use or Sports, Quartz will not be wrong !
Most people use -4+6 secs/day as the reference for an C.O.S.C. Mechanical watch.
However, If you are going to buy a watch for daily use, Quartz has much better performance: ±1 sec / day
Functions and Features
Every watch shows the hour and minute (usually with two hands), some show the second, date and day at the same time. Anything beyond these basics is called a "complication".
A chronograph is a watch that acts like a stop watch; that is, it can measure intervals of time. There are usually two pushers on either side of the crown. The upper one starts and stops the timer, and the lower one resets it to zero.
Two more complicated chronographs:
A flyback is a chronograph which works as follows: first push of the chrono button starts the seconds hand. Second push causes the seconds hand to reset to zero and begins. The purpose of the flyback is to begin re-timing quickly.
A split seconds or rattrapante or doppelchrono (double chrono in German) has two seconds hands, the first push starts both hands together, the second push stops one hand while the other continues, and another push allows the stopped hand to catch-up with the moving seconds.
Some watches show multiple time zones or called GMT.
Watches that emit an audible time signal are called repeaters.
Brands of Watches
The brand affects the price of a new watch and a secondhand watch. Rolex is an good example.
Moreover, brands tell us the quality of the after sales services. Rolex is world wide and her after sales services have good reputation. But some famous brands do not have qualified services; therefore, search the web or even go to the service center before you buy an expensive watch.
where to buy
From an authorized retailer is a good start.
If you really want to buy from an unauthorized, or "gray-market," dealer, keep all transaction records / invoices in case of something happens.
REMEMBER: Low price may not be a bargain; high price may not be true.

ETA - ETA SA Manufacture Horiogère Suisse
ETA was founded in 1793
ETA SA Manufacture Horiogère Suisse is one of the world's largest manufacturers of watches and movements.
Because of copyright, more information can be found at http://www.eta.ch/
ETA movements are very common nowadays because of reliability, accuracy, functions and cost.
Most brands produce their "Own Movement" from the ETA. They may modify part of the movement (e.g. Omega Co-axial movement), further develop (ORIS Cal. 635, base: ETA 2836-2), or only improve the parts by fine polish in order to upgrade the appearance of the parts and reduce the friction between the parts.
Because ETA is very very common and most famous brands use ETA movements, some replicas or fakes use ETA movements to cheat customers.
Some use the ETA standard grade to pretend the C.O.S.C. grade ETA movement or only use the ETA movement in order to make the fakes and the replicas more like SWISS MADE.
If you want to buy a watch from someone other than the authorised dealer, PAY ATTENTION ! Low price may not be a bargain; high price may not be true.

How to Order Wholesale Silver Jewelry
As the demand for gold jewelry increases by the day, manufacturers of good quality wholesale silver jewelry are gradually turning to gold jewelry production or closing business. It is now important that buyers and manufacturers of wholesale sterling silver jewelry understand each others concerns and problems. In this article we look at both sides and provide suggestions that would be helpful to both sides. Here are the most important questions that need to be answered when buying or making wholesale sterling silver jewelry.
Steps
1. Ask: Is the design provided by the buyer or does it belong to the manufacturer? This will have a direct impact on the final price quoted by the seller. There is an initial overhead to be borne for design and mould charges and this will be added to the price tag of the first piece. If the initial order for wholesale silver jewelry is a large one, this initial charge is spread over a large volume and therefore does not increase the price per piece significantly.
2. Ask: Why is the first piece priced high? One of the main reasons is explained in (a) above and involves the initial design and mould charge. Subsequent orders for the same design will use the same mould and therefore be sold at a lower price. In many cases the buyer, would first order a single piece, then place a wholesale order after receiving the first piece. In such a case the seller would have to protect himself from a situation where the buyer buys only the first piece from him and then looks for another seller to place the final order. The seller would thus like to recover all initial overheads from the first piece itself.
3. Ask: Why does the price fall as the volume increases? Large orders of wholesale silver jewelry provide the seller with the economies of scale. Production is much easier as the design and moulds can be reused to manufacture the jewelry. Craftsmen do the production of the same design . multiple times thus reducing the chances of breakages and other losses. In cases where the wholesale silver jewelry also includes gemstones or diamonds, the seller gets a better price when bulk purchases are made. All these factors combine to enable the seller provide a better price to the buyer as the volume of the order increases.
4. Ask: Are gemstone options limited? If you buy your wholesale silver jewelry from a seller who is also the manufacturer, there is no reason why the gemstone options should be limited. However, there is a price range within which, most buyers would like their silver jewelry to remain and this might influence the gemstone selected. Wholesale sterling silver jewelry made with gemstones like aquamarine, tourmaline, ruby and sapphire would be quite expensive and have a limited market.
5. Ask: Should silver jewelry be plated? Plating on silver can be done with rhodium, white gold, yellow gold and even platinum. Plated wholesale sterling silver jewelry will look awesome when new but the plating will wear off with time and the jewelry might look quite shabby. The plating wears off in patches and in many cases the jewelry becomes a piece of junk. All silver jewelry manufacturers will provide plating at a small additional charge.
6. Ask: Is the craftsmanship always bad? This need not necessarily be true but once again the market price point influences the decision. Wholesale 925 silver jewelry is produced by a mechanized process, however it is possible to provide good handfinishing in the final production phase and improve the quality of the jewelry. This adds to the price tag and is therefore avoided in most cases.
7. Ask: What are benefits of good metal weight? Wholesale silver jewelry is normally made with a low silver weight to save costs. This causes the jewelry to bend and twist at the smallest impact. The gemstones and diamonds will also be loosely mounted and could drop off at any time. A good silver weight on the other hand adds to the long term durability of the jewelry and the final consumer need not keep spending money for frequent repairs and modifications.
8. Ask: How big is a wholesale order? As the number of manufacturers for wholesale silver jewelry decreases, those remaining in business set higher volume requirements to confirm orders. This could pose a problem for buyers as they might be left with inventory of unsold stocks.
9. Remember that many buyers of sterling silver wholesale jewelry would like to make smaller lots of jewelry to test the market and large orders might not be suitable in such cases.
10. Ask: What is the minimum order quantity by design ? This answer depends of the factory principally, but an order can start from 10 to 15 pieces for the same design. This is the minimum acceptable. Under this quantity the price by piece is too high. I explain, one worker can produce 2 pieces of one design in 1-2 days (example) and this same worker can produce 25 pieces of this same design in just 5-6 days.
