New Delhi, September 18, 2021: With today’s eco-conscious consumer, fashion is no longer just restricted to style. The coming together of style along with sustainability has created a range of accessories and designs that are increasingly pro-planet. As we move towards a more thoughtful, considerate, and responsible future for fashion, Skagen comes to the fore with their timeless and pro-environment wristwatches for him and her.
SKAGEN
Inspired by the minimalism and earth-friendly processes of Skagen city and the Danish coastline, Skagen is on a journey to give their products and packaging an eco-friendly make-over. As they lead an industry-wide change with a reduction in their carbon footprint on the planet, Skagen reinforces their pro-planet mission with its brand-new collections – Karolina and Henriksen, a range of sleek and sustainable solar wristwatches for women and men, respectively.
Each solar-powered watch contains a solar cell underneath each dial. This is used to convert any form of light into electrical energy and store the power in a secondary battery. Unlike conventional quartz watches, these watches do not use a silver oxide battery, thus, eliminating the need for battery replacement. Once fully charged, the timepiece will run on its own for a significant amount of time, ranging from anywhere between 4-6 months. When the power is running low, the second hand will have two-second interval movements to signal depletion.
Each fine timepiece in the Skagen Karolina collection is detailed with solar powered movement, fluid transition of the crystal surface and a slim case wall. Featuring genuine mother-of-pearl dials, these watches are set to infuse every look with a chic Danish aesthetic.
These solar timekeepers can be availed in two contemporary strap alternatives—a sustainable, navy eco-leather strap and a minimalist mesh, in rose gold and silver. These charming 3-hand solar timepieces also save one from the hassles of battery replacement, forever. Thus, offering a naturally stylish and ecologically responsible purchase.
The Skagen Karolina collection will charge about 1 day of power with just 2 minutes of full sunlight! Priced at INR 13,495 the solar watches can be availed from select online and offline stores.
The Henriksen Solar merges Skagen’s signature design language with a solar movement, without compromising on either perspective. With little to no difference in the slim structural aesthetic, it is similar to a traditional non-solar watch in many ways. The timepiece also features a purposeful date window at the 3 o’clock position. Available in mesh and leather straps, in grey, brown and black styles, the interchangeable options ensure you have a fresh look for every occasion.
The collection also features a quick start function: the watch will start running again within a few seconds after exposure to a light more than 1000Lx (Fluorescent lamp 30W/ 70cm). The watch cannot be overcharged! Each watch contains an overcharge prevention function that will prevent the secondary battery from deteriorating or breaking – always making it a responsible style choice.
The Skagen Henriksen collection is priced at INR 13,495 and can be availed from select online and offline stores.
