SOLAR TECHNOLOGY
MONDAINE's pioneering spirit has driven us to innovate since 1951, and in 1973, we introduced the world’s very first solar-powered watch. Today, the Doppio Solar Collection brings that legacy into the modern era with advanced solar technology, Swiss craftsmanship, and minimalist design.
HOw It works
Solar watches are powered by any light source, sunlight or artificial light, eliminating the need for disposable batteries and reducing environmental impact.
Here's how it works:
1. Light Capture: Light passes through the specially designed transparent dial, reaching solar cells beneath.
2. Energy Conversion: The solar cells convert both sunlight and artificial light into electrical energy.
3. Energy Storage: This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery that powers the Swiss-made movement.
How much light do you need?
Instant Activation: Just 2 minutes of light is enough to restart a fully discharged movement, running for a full day.
Extended Power Reserve: Once fully charged, your Doppio Solar watch will continue running for approximately 8 months, even in complete darkness.
Swiss Made, Planet Friendly
Our solar timepiece features a Swiss RONDA movement, combining precision engineering with cutting-edge sustainability.
It's not just the solar technology that makes us eco-friendly, Mondaine also uses:
