The Sword Handset. Sporty, Quietly Classic. Mirror-Polished Silver.
Sporty yet inconspicuously classic — straight edges, a clean taper, and a mirror-polished silver finish that keeps the sword handset legible in any light and at home on almost any dial.
It is filled with 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 — Grade A, the highest-grade BGW9 on the market — for a long-lasting blue glow after dark.
Lume pairs perfectly with our BGW9 parts.
Match with a BGW9-lumed dial so hands and markers charge and fade together.
The sword profile.
A shape that swings both ways: tool-watch directness in the silhouette, dress-watch polish in the finish.
Swiss BGW9 Grade A.
The highest-grade BGW9 on the market, glowing blue in the night and reading crisp white by day.
Heads up — hands are one part of the build

Everything worth knowing before you build.
Customers praised these sword hands for their "stunning" appearance, "impeccable finish," and "superior lume." The BGW9 lume application is bright and even. However, multiple shoppers noted the minute hand hole is slightly too small for NH35 movements, making installation difficult and sometimes causing deformation. Overall quality and aesthetics are excellent.
These are stunning - so happy I replaced my original mod hands with these. The finish is impeccable, and the look gives my watch the classic tool watch vibe I was looking for.
The BGW9 Sword Hands are a great match for my Modern Milsub Homage. The Lume is evenly applied and bright. However, the diameter of the minute hand hole was slightly too small for the NH35 I was using. after some time fighting with it, I was able to get in on. However, it slightly deformed and created a cone shape on the pinion. Luckily the seconds hand covers this up for the final result.
As another reviewer mentioned, the hands look great, but the minute hand on two different sets I ordered were almost impossible to fit on the NH35 pinion. The hole on the minute hand needs to be slightly larger for a better fit.
Hi Phillip,
Thank you for the kind words on the look, and for taking the time to share your experience — I really appreciate it. A bit of honest context: all our hands are made to Seiko's official TMI specifications (https://timemodule.com/upload/category/24/spec_sheet/NH35_SS.pdf), and every hand is a firm friction fit by design — not just the minute hand. Hands are genuinely one of the toughest parts of Seiko modding, and that snug fit is exactly what keeps them secure once seated.
The single biggest thing that makes them easy to fit is the tool. I'd strongly recommend a proper hand-setting tool like the Bergeon 8935 (4-position) over a cheap or manual pusher such as the Bergeon 7404 — the inexpensive tools genuinely worsen the experience and can make a good fit feel impossible. With a tool like the 8935 pressing straight down and evenly, the same hands go on cleanly and the whole mod becomes genuinely enjoyable rather than a fight. It's the one place I'd say don't skimp — the right tool changes everything.
If I can help you get them seated, reach out any time — and thanks again for the four stars, it really helps.
Best regards,
Adriel

The hands are excellent. Communication and follow-up from Adriel has been fantastic. I highly recommend Lucius Atelier for all your watch mod needs!
Just received my sword hands and they look as good as I hoped. Can’t wait to install them.
Sword hands arrive fast with diligent. Shipping updates! Most important, they are great quality with SUPERIOR LUME!! That’s why I chose L.A.
The finishes are perfect
