thePULSE
By Rick Garner
The Helios Watch by Stauer is a “21st-century sundial” that makes batteries and winding obsolete. A high-tech photovoltaic cell on the face converts light to electricity, which is then used to charge a super capacitor. The movement of the watch is driven by the power from the capacitor. The stainless steel case and bolted-down bezel give the timepiece a rugged feel, while the luminescent hands and numbers make it easy to tell time in the dimmest of light. The watch’s dial is protected by Cotswold Crystal and it’s water-resistant to 10 atmospheres. The Helios is a stunning modern take on the oldest timekeeping trick in the book!
