Steric

If you’ve decided on a watch with solar movement, starting it up works a little differently. In this case, there is an inbuilt battery that is recharged via the energy of the sun or a light source.

In order to charge your solar watch, remove the protective foil from the glass and charge it for a minimum of 5 hours in direct sunlight. Particularly in months with less sunshine, the watch should be charged under a lamp (at a distance of 20cm) for 60 hours (30W lightbulb/6W LED/Lumen 375) because the sunlight is slightly too weak to recharge the battery.

Please note that your solar watch shouldn’t be exposed to excessive heat (e.g. the blazing midday sun) in order to avoid damage. As soon as your model is recharged, the battery will last for at least 4 months without the need to recharge your watch again. When the seconds hand begins to tick in 2-second intervals, it’s a sign that your timepiece needs light again and should be recharged.

In case your model has a variety of functions, like e.g. a date display, a dual time display or a chronograph, get to know these functions in advance in order to maximize the full potential of your watch.

Every single Holzkern product is delivered in a high-quality solid wooden box in which your piece of nature can be safely stored. The wooden box is lined with cork, which optimally protects your model during transport or storage.

The cork that comes with our watches and Bandlets is reversible and inscribed on both sides respectively with the sentence in German - “So einzigartig wie du”, as well as English - “As unique as you”.

For all models with linked bracelets, we additionally send the matching extension links including tools free of charge. In this way, you can individually adjust your personal piece of nature and immediately start wearing it. :)

The special thing about our products is that we work with natural materials. Just like every tree or stone, all of our models are genuinely unique thanks to the grain, colour and structure of the materials. What you receive is a truly one-of-a-kind piece - indeed, your own personal piece of nature. :)

That’s why we always make an effort to incorporate different lighting situations and a variety of models in our images, so that you can receive the most realistic impression possible of how your model may look.
