Start-up Rayform, a spin-off from the EPFL, has patented a method for projecting messages from every conceivable surface, from the crown of a watch to a gold wedding ring. The secret: shaping the material in such a way as to control the reflection of light rays. The applications are manifold, and MB&F is pioneering the technology in watchmaking.

When the two meet (which is still all too rare), sparks can fly. The case of Rayform SA, launched in 2016 by a team of researchers from the EPFL, is a perfect example of this.
