SWITZERLAND: Time made visible: MONDAINE presents the Doppio Solar Skeleton

The new 41 mm Doppio makes solar technology visible and combines Swiss design with responsible timekeeping.

The Doppio Solar Skeleton makes the technology of timekeeping visible. Looking at the solar panel transforms light into an energy source and, at the same time, a defining design element.

PFÄFFIKON SZ, SWITZERLAND, August 28, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / -- The technology that powers a watch usually remains hidden. With the new Doppio Solar Skeleton, MONDAINE deliberately places it

at the heart of the design, revealing the solar panel beneath through a precisely cut, circular opening in the dial.

The design continues the characteristic design language of the Doppio collection , defined by depth, repetition, and structural clarity. Double-guided hands and indices, a concave dial, and double-domed sapphire crystal create a subtle interplay of form and depth while maintaining the clarity and legibility typical of the collection.

A Swiss solar movement converts natural and artificial light into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for regular battery changes. Fully charged, the movement offers a power reserve of up to eight months in complete darkness, while just a few minutes of sunlight are enough to reactivate a completely discharged movement.

“The Doppio Solar Skeleton makes the technology of timekeeping visible. The view of the solar panel transforms light into both the energy source and a defining design element.” — Maria Valenzuela, Global Marketing Group Director.

The Doppio Solar Skeleton is available in two distinct versions. A polished, silver-tone 316L stainless steel case with a black vegan grape leather strap creates a sophisticated, understated look. The second version combines a polished black stainless steel case with a matching Milanese bracelet, giving the watch a contemporary, architectural expression. Both versions offer different ways to wear the Doppio, appealing to a variety of personal style preferences.

With the Doppio Solar Skeleton, MONDAINE unites Swiss Made quality, distinctive design, and energy-efficient technology in a timepiece for everyday wear.
