EPHJ 2025 – See how Ocean™ solves high-end optical challenges
- Where: Geneva, Switzerland
- When: 3-6 June 2025
- Booth: R100
Eclat Digital is happy to announce its participation in EPHJ 2025, the leading trade show for high-precision watchmaking, jewelry, and microtechnology industries.
At the intersection of design and science, our Ocean™ optical simulation software offers a powerful, physically true approach to simulate how materials and assemblies truly appear under real-world conditions. It supports the entire development cycle, from early design and technical conception to pre-manufacturing finalization, ensuring the physical prototype is correct the first time.
6 of the key appearance & optical challenges Ocean™ can solve:
1. Complex transparent assemblies
- Ghosting or glare caused by domed crystals and AR coatings
- Screen readability issues under sunlight
- Distortion or glare around transparent gem settings
> Ocean™ evaluates real-world visibility and reflections with multilayer simulation in realistic lighting.
2. Controlled light diffusion
- Uneven glow or backlight bleeding on frosted or lit elements
- Poor visibility or harsh LED ring effects
- Hot spots in backlit stones or frosted textures
> Ocean™ helps fine-tune diffusion, glow, and uniformity for perfect optical balance.
3. Material appearance consistency
- Dial and case finishes look different under boutique or ambient lighting
- Dial, hands, and case finishes don’t match once assembled.
- Gems or elements shift color across lighting scenes or coatings
> Ocean™ validates harmonized appearance with spectral rendering under variable conditions.
4. Physically accurate optical diagnosis
- Distortion effects from geometry, or visibility loss from coatings
- Contrast drops or glare on interactive displays
- Optical defects or birefringence in transparent stones under showroom light
> Ocean™ supports DOE studies, lighting quantification, and sensitivity analysis based on real physics—not visual tricks.
5. Light penetration and sensor optimization
- Insufficient light capture by biosensors
- Interference from coatings or layering
- Signal loss through decorative elements or the skin
> Ocean™ simulates light behavior across complex geometries, optimize sensor exposure and efficiency, and reduce trial-and-error in smart feature integration (e.g., smartwatches, hybrid jewelry).
6. Solar energy harvesting through design
- Decorative finishes and dial elements obstruct solar recharging
- Reduced energy capture caused by materials and display architecture
- Aesthetic choices compromise light transmission to hidden solar cells
> Ocean™ predicts how materials, geometry, and coatings affect solar transmission, balance aesthetics with energy recharge efficiency, and optimize power collection without compromising visual design.

Join our talk – Wednesday 4th at 1PM
Together with Bvlgari, we’ll present examples of how Ocean™ helps evaluate both aesthetic design and functional optical performance in high-end watchmaking.
Using Bvlgari watch designs as case studies, we’ll showcase how Ocean™ handles complex geometries, lighting conditions, and design variations (e.g., gem colors), helping teams anticipate visual performance and refine aesthetic decisions with confidence based on science.
🗓️ Wednesday June 4th at 1:00 PM – Live at the show EPHJ
