WATCHES

trigalight TURNS YOUR WATCH INTO A 24 HOUR TIMEPIECE!

Looking for a reliable companion that guarantees perfect and constant readability of the time even in complete darkness or poor visibility? The hands, hour indices and bezel of your watch glow thanks to the in-house–developed trigalight self-powered illumination technology, which delivers luminescence for decades without an external energy source.

We use some of our smallest types of trigalight, so-called watch lights, for watches. They are available in various colours, shapes and sizes for hands, hour indices and bezels.

Our hairlights with an outer diameter of only 0.30 mm, which is approximately five times the thickness of a human hair, are the world’s smallest gaseous tritium light sources (GTLS).

One of our core competences is the assembly of watch components such as hands, hour indices and bezels. Depending on the quantity and shape of the watch components, both manual and robot assembly are possible.

We produce customer- and application-specific watch components. Below you will find a selection of our most common colours, shapes and sizes. If this selection does not cover your application needs, we will be pleased to develop an individual solution for you.

ABOUT US

THE ORIGINAL: FIRST CHOICE OF PROFESSIONALS!

With trigalight, mb-microtec ag offers a unique self-powered illumination technology that stands for safety and efficiency. This manifests itself in the form of a maintenance-free, highly compact system with a minimal installation size, which requires no external energy source and delivers luminescence for decades.

Around one hundred qualified employees work for the parent company and the trigalight brand. The company has extensive know-how and a state-of-the-art infrastructure, where the entire development and production takes place. The products meet the highest quality standards. Up to 90 percent of the goods produced are exported.

HISTORY

The success story began in 1969 with the production of a self-powered illumination light source called trigalight. This led to the foundation of mb-microtec ag. With successful marketing of the product, the company made a breakthrough into a new era of microtechnology. As a family business, mb-microtec ag is still fully owned by the founding families.

In 2018, the company moved to its new premises in Niederwangen near Bern. The Minergie-certified building not only meets the highest standards in terms of safety, but also in terms of sustainability.

QUALITY & PRECISION

trigalight technology involves the specialised, highly automated production and mainly manual assembly of tritium-containing micro components. From the first idea to the final customer-specific product, everything is produced from one source. All the manufacturing processes take place within the large 1,200 m² climate-controlled production area, which is equipped with the world’s most modern tritium monitoring system. The pick-and-place technology allows for the high-speed positioning of large quantities of the smallest trigalight using automated, high-precision assembly machines.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

We have many years of experience and comprehensive knowledge in the fields of microtechnology, chemistry and physics. In addition, trigalight has the necessary resources as well as a state-of-the-art infrastructure. This enables us to refine our own product range, optimise our self-built systems and develop new customer-specific solutions.

trigalight invests in:

Customer-specific solutions
Internal development of the systems
Development of the manufacturing processes
Further development of key technologies
