A Sustainable Watchmaker

To kick off 2021,  guest host Aurélie Brown speaks with Alexandre Desabrais,  cofounder of  Solios,  a Montreal-based company that offers  environmentally-friendly, solar powered timepieces. Hear how each watch is ethically produced and made with durable and sustainable materials.  Did you know that if all quartz watches were solar, it would save 300  million batteries from being produced, sold and thrown away every year? 

Most recently, Solios became a  partner of the Make-A-Wish foundation, the nonprofit organization that helps fulfill the wishes of critically-ill children.
