The watch one wears tells a lot about who you are. It is a personality statement based on the style you choose to wear on your wrist. It defines one’s personal sense of style and indicates a person’s level of affluence. As the e-commerce shopping has tremendously increased, it has taken a toll on our planet. In the present time we are flooded with battery operated timepieces. In the rush to keep up with consumer demand for new products, fashion businesses are using up lots of natural resources and generating lots of waste, which either ends up polluting our environment, or dumped in landfills, or both.
All over the world, we can see a paradigm shift of people’s dependency from electric run gadgets to renewable source of energy like solar energy. Watchmakers, like other companies, are increasingly attuned to today’s emphasis on “greener” technology. Some are responding by shifting to recycled materials in their packaging while others are expanding their solar-powered offerings, or even making solar watches for the first time. In this article we cover about Solar Watches for Men and Women from Solios.
Solios is a premium watch maker based in Montreal, Canada. Solios is the answer to your timepiece needs. They are creators of lightweight, fashionable, sustainable, and solar-powered watches that eliminate the need for battery replacement when it is replenished. The Solios watch comes with an assurance about preserving the environment. Solios manufactures premium solar watches via environmentally-friendly business practices, without compromising on the design, functionality or aesthetics. Solios watches hold a reserve charge of 06 months after just 02 hours of charging. The simple dial design is perfect for dressing up or down your look – adding to the accessory’s overall versatility.
The Company is totally committed towards environment right from the raw materials to the manufacture and packaging.
standards of social and environmental impact
Solios was founded in 2018 by two university friends, Samuel Leroux and Alexandre Desabrais. While traveling through Greece they noticed a large trend towards minimalist fashion and came up with the idea for a statement accessory that would benefit the planet, rather than harming it. In their own words, “We believe one shouldn’t sacrifice everything in order to make the world a better place. We believe big changes start with small decisions that don’t compromise one’s lifestyle and habits.”
Solios is the first watch brand to integrate a solar movement with minimalist design and sustainable materials. “We’re extremely proud of how we are changing the production process with our suppliers. We often have requests that they never heard of, because the watch industry is very mature, and has profitably optimized processes. But for the first time, they are asked something completely different, that creates a lower environmental footprint.”
This timepiece only needs one battery over the course of its life, which is recharged by the sun and thus, should last forever. If all quartz watches were solar, it would save 300 million batteries from being produced, sold and thrown away year on year! And while other solar watches hide the solar cell by using chrono, double-layers dial or even intense designs, Solios managed to create a dial with the perfect transparency/colour ratio to let the light rays go through it without showing it.
From the very beginning, the brand’s main design aim was to create a stylish, sustainable watch that wouldn’t need to be replaced. This meant that their watch design needed to be timeless, made from high-quality materials and be built to last.
The final product delivers on all requirements.
The Solios watch incorporates elegant, unisex, minimalist design and a beautiful yet simple dial which means that it will never go out of style.
Each timepiece is ethically produced and made with durable, sustainable materials. It features sapphire coated glass, durable, cruelty-free ‘eco-leather’ which is free from plaa such as PU, PVC and is recyclable, premium 316L stainless steel and ionic coloration, which, although 10x more expensive than standard metal coloration methods, doesn’t create tons of toxic wastewater that pollutes rivers; it also produces no extra chemical waste.
The casings are also available in the classic colours of silver, rose gold or mat black and can be paired with a white or black dial.
“We want to enable those wearing Solios to be proud of the positive actions that have been taken and to remember that improving one’s lifestyle is an ongoing process.” For founders Alexander and Samuel, the main goal isn’t to maximize shareholder equity (they’ve had plenty of individuals offer to invest in their company and politely decline each time), it was about creating a business and product that they believed would make a difference, and would inspire others to take positive steps that would make a difference in the world too. Given the founders’ strong sense of environmental and social responsibility, Solios supports a couple of charitable organizations.
When it comes to Solios watches it seems no detail has been overlooked. The brand’s packaging also reflects what the watch is all about: eco design. The packaging is made from recycled pulp board and plantable seed paper; just pop in the dirt, water and grow your own plant! Or if you don’t have a green thumb, just pop the packaging in a recycling bin.
Wearing a watch means making a statement, and while the statement is usually one of style or success, why end it there? Why not wear a watch that makes a positive fashion statement, both style-wise and environment-wise? Solios watches enables you to take pride in the positive steps you’ve taken in your eco lifestyle journey, inspires you to keep going and serves as a catalyst for change in the climate crisis we all face. There’s no time to waste; the time is now to embrace a more responsible lifestyle.
