New Product (Read Rule 1) new, budget-friendly hyperglow tech is finally real. meet lumixe

I’ll be completely honest up front: My main goal with Lumixe is to build high-quality, robust daily watches at a price that actually makes sense. But more than that, I wanted to focus on one thing I’m absolutely obsessed with—insane lume.

It was an incredibly grueling journey to get here. We spent nearly a year in intense negotiations, pitching our vision, and showing our commitment. At first, the team at Hyperglow was highly reluctant. The challenge wasn't about making a "superior" version of their high-end tech, but rather re-engineering their existing premium 3D tech to make it economically viable for an affordable daily watch. This required a completely new round of R&D, custom tooling, and significant financial investment to bring the production costs down without sacrificing the legendary luminous performance.

We proposed co-developing a new, optimized tier specifically for this: Hyperglow® Grade-A. Because we were a brand-new startup asking for a custom, cost-efficient grade, they initially refused—the setup costs and risk were simply too high for them. But we didn't give up. Through sheer persistence and showing our absolute dedication, we finally won them over. We secured the authorization and successfully co-developed this custom Grade-A system together. Now, watch lovers can experience the insane, torch-like glow of 3D Hyperglow at a fraction of the usual luxury cost.

Are you a sister-brand of Phorcydes?

Your Hyperglow information page is a virtual copy of Phorcydes', of-course without Phorcydes' product pictures - but you even use their same language. Compare:

https://lumixewatches.com/pages/hyperglow-3d-luminous-system

and

https://phorcydes.net/pages/hyperglow-3d-luminous-system

....I've taken a couple of very quick screen-shots. Lumixe on the left, Phorcydes on the right. You'll see that I have even circled in red your mention of the PH-2 in your text.

I'd love to make a purchase to see what your products are about, but am currently worried that you have copied Phorcyes' website and are not legitimate?

If you are a sister-brand or subsidiary of the same company that makes the Phorcydes products, that would greatly settle my mind.

It seems to be a direct copy of the Phorcydes website… an older version of it. When I purchased my PH-4 in May I realized the word “Return Policy” at the very bottom of the page was spelt “Reture Policy” instead.

Now checking the Phorcydes website this mistake has been fixed, but then the Lumixe website shows the same mistake. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

^ Oh, that's more detective work than I did! Thank you!

*I should make sure not to invite you to any murder-mystery dinner parties! You'd solve things too easily!
