Cortaillod, Switzerland
“It took nearly one year of research and testing to develop the process,” states Anthony Amato, TR-X’s founder.
“It required a particular form of machining to ensure that the luminescent material is deposited in a perfectly clean way. We succeeded. The effect is spectacular, especially at night.”
Designed by Anthony Amato and Vincent Walther, the TR-X ghost was directly inspired by the cult film of the 80’s and the clip of Ray Parker Jr, or in the feature film, colored Led effects dressed in the accessories of the clip.
Fans of this film that rocked our childhood, the TR-X GHOST watch and exponentially ghostly with our luminescent skeleton.
This skeleton tourbillon man’s manufacturing in Swiss is an object of great value.
The watch was developed using watchmaking techniques with a special luminising application with SwissSuper-LumiNova (R) that meets the needs of individuals wishing to wear a watch on their wrist in a modern and avant-garde fashion, during important events, day and night.
Widely used in the watch industry on watch dials and bezels, the luminescent material is generally used for hands, numerals and indexes.
Patented, it was developed in collaboration with a company in St. Gallen.
It literally “houses” the Superluminova on the metal, thus highlighting the entire movement, as if it were backlit. The effect is further enhanced by the black DLC treatment of all the components.
On the TR-X Ghost, it is deposited in fine lines on the corners of the skeleton in a unique process.
As for the sources of inspiration for the project, Anthony Amato sums them up in these terms:
“The watch is the product of brainstorming and the integration of several of our team’s ideas. Vincent Walther and I share a passion about technology.
“We both love the world of video games and science fiction films. Car engines and engine styling are also dear to us. We consider this as an art form.”
“All these universes collide in the watch.”
“In the last three years, I have also developed a concept of “sova.swiss” ambassadors for brands creating unique products with digital technology, which work well.”
“Taking all this into consideration, there has never been a better time to take advantage of this know-how and launch our own product.”
