Barry Cohen, a watch industry veteran, came across a Swiss self-powered illumination system and knew that it would make watches more visible and easier to read in low or no light situations. He asked his friend Richard Timbo if he would like to join him. Luminox was born in 1989. "Lumi" is Latin for light while "Nox" is Latin for night.

All Luminox watches must undergo additional manufacturing steps that other watches do not require.

Each watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights. This ease to read time fills a need for law enforcement, the U.S. Navy SEALs, and F-117 Nighthawk™ Stealth pilots.
