2. Style Meets Sustainability: Introducing all-new collections by Skagen for Him & Her
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.
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 Skagen Henriksen collection is priced at INR 13,495 and can be availed from select online and offline stores.
