00:00So this customer asked for something I've never done before and this one looked

00:03dangerous before I even finished it. He wanted his watch to glow in the dark.

00:07Not backlight, not screen glow. He wanted the material itself to react. Top

00:11sections all orange. Radar and map coated in heat reactive film. Bottom negative

00:16display. Blacked out clean. Like a warning label stamped on steel. Like

00:21something you would find behind a locked panel with a do not touch sign. And yeah

00:25I wear gloves for every mod but this one I was swapping gloves every five

00:29minutes. Just felt like I had to. That orange isn't just color it reacts. Under

00:34UV it glows like a chemical that shouldn't be anywhere near your skin.

00:37It's not glow for show. It's glow like a fuse. It's glow like a caution. Some

00:42builds flash. This one cautions. I named it lava because it doesn't make shine to
