Mo Coppoletta, art director of Gagà Laboratorio, designed Luce as a tribute to the watch publication Revolution and its founder, Wei Koh.
Gagà Laboratorio today introduces the Labormatic Luce, a limited edition of 100 pieces developed with Revolution. Luce is Italian for light, and the brand says it is the first time it has enveloped an entire watch in Super-LumiNova.
The blue dial is divided into four sectors, with a digital hour display, a minute disc seen through a window and central seconds. The minute and seconds discs are cut from lapis, a natural stone. The polished steel case has blue PVD on its sides and crown, set at 12 o’clock.
Inside is the automatic La Joux-Perret G100, with a personalised rotor and 68 hours of power reserve. The blue saffiano leather strap is handmade in Italy.
Covered edge to edge in Super-LumiNova, Luce is built to keep glowing long after the lights go down.
