designer's own words:
SOLARIS™
The Digital Sundial Watch
“When technology meets medieval invention”
Concept Note:
The creation of this digital watch is based on a thought inspired by man’s first tryst with calibrating time. Time which has now more essence than just measurability, Time which is the driving force of our passions and quest for success and excellence. The sheer imagination of an unchallenging truth of our supreme connect with nature – The Sun inspired me to fashion out a design which though is positioned as a futuristic digi-gen-next marvel yet is contemporary timelessly and conventional in thought.
The need for styling this watch was based on the fact keeping in mind the eco sensitivity applied in fuelling its performance which is solar driven and materials which are eco-friendly
The performance is driven by solar powered batteries which has the capability to harness solar energy from even dim sunlit zones. So, even when its night time the watch continues to work seamlessly paying tribute to the energy stored in it, in the same manner how all living beings live.
The Human connect with Solaris is quite evident in terms of its thinking and reasoning capabilities. For eg. A time conversion display helps you access World Time with a touch of a button.
The ornate design aspect of Solaris is its digital 3D Sundial which is quite eye catching to the discerning.
The sleek state of the art glass display and metallic sheen adds style and panache to the wearer’s wrist and exults dignified brand personality.
So , behold the safe , trendy , scientific tribute to the essence of our lives – TIME !
