About Solios
Solios is a Montréal brand of solar-powered minimalist watches, designed in a studio on Wellington Street in Verdun. Its watches charge from light, so you do not need to change a battery regularly.

A Solios watch makes a thoughtful gift for a graduation, a new job or a partner who appreciates understated style. A visit to Wellington Street, with its cafés and shops, makes a nice outing. It is a local design studio that blends style with a more sustainable idea of timekeeping.
