A NEW DAWN

Tissot's PRC Solar 100 34mm watch is as radiant and self-sufficient as the woman who wears it

The new PRC 100 Solar by Tissot doesn't simply keep time; it powers it. Fuelled by both natural and artificial light, the watch turns every coffee run or poolside lounge into lasting energy. It does so through photovoltaic cells embedded right beneath the sapphire glass instead of under the dial, a cleaner approach that frees up dial design and optimises light absorption by reducing the layers rays have to penetrate.
