Surrey NanoSystems has unveiled Vantablack Vision, its light-suppression coating designed for automotive ADAS and various industrial applications. The company said that this marks a significant step in advancing technologies that enhance road safety and system integrity.
No color—or, more accurately, lack thereof—has caused more of a media frenzy in recent years than “Vantablack.” The blacker-than-black paint absorbs so much light (99.96%) that when it’s applied to something, that thing appears to not exist, giving off the effect of a black hole.

Luxury watchmaker H Moser – known for occasionally baiting Apple with its Swiss Alp analog watches – has released a new dig at the tech company with a timepiece that features an infinitely spinning loading wheel, and retails at $30,800 (about £23,000 / AU$40,000).
Anish Kapoor, a British-Indian artist, uses the blackest black ever created to question notions of perception
HMoser & Cie may well be the only watchmaker with a sense of humour. When it’s not busy producing elegant dress watches with beautiful fume dials and complications, it’s making a statement with bizarre one-offs made of Swiss cheese, plants or the hallmark features of other brands’ iconic models. For last year’s April Fool’s joke, the brand revealed a concept watch you couldn’t even read the time off because everything was supposedly coated in Vantablack, one of the world’s darkest materials.
As it turns out, interest and demand for such a ridiculous concept was so overwhelming that H Moser & Cie decided to follow through on the idea – with practical revisions, of course – and it resulted in the Venturer Concept Vantablack series last year. For 2020, the collection welcomes new Venturer Vantablack Black Hands models with an even stealthier look with barely-there hands.
The watch with the darkest dial in watchmaking just got darker. Following last year’s Venturer Concept Vantablack, H. Moser & Cie. refines the watch by blackening the hands for this year’s collection. The result is just as austere and enigmatic, but perhaps even more so now. The Venturer Vantablack Black Hands is presented in two sizes – 39mm and 43mm. The smaller watch boasts a precious 18k white gold case, while the XL model is democratically encased in stainless steel.
Vantablack is a pigment that reaches a level of darkness that’s so intense, it’s kind of upsetting. It’s so black it’s like looking at a hole cut out of the universe. “Vantablack is striking when you look at it… because it [doesn’t look] like something is colored black.
A new limited-edition watch has a tourbillon swirling in what appears to be a deep, infinite black hole. But, in fact, the mesmerizing dial is covered with what the National Physical Laboratory, Britain’s measurements standards institute, has verified as the darkest material on Earth.
