Wicked Watch Co out of Switzerland, though creator is out of Shenzhen, China, have relaunched their Kickstarter for the Pearl Diver.
Their first campaign was unsuccessful. This campaign has already surpassed their goal.

For the lume junkies, this might be the watch for you.

We are proud to announce that, WICKED WATCH CO. will be the first micro brand (as far as we know^^) featuring Lumicast 3D modeling on their dials. Meet the next generation of Lume, today!

Lumicast is used in the haute horology segments and brands like IWC, H. Moser & Cie., etc.

For the Lumicast process and application, we are working with Les Cadraniers de Genève SA, Meyrin Geneva (a famous dialmaker from Geneva who enjoys the trust of Vacheron Constatin and many other big brands) and RC Tritrec AG (manufacturer of Swiss Super-LumiNova®) together.
