The Sequent brand specialises in hybrid smartwatches with automatic or solar charging, an analogue watch face and physical activity monitoring functions.
Hybrid technology is making interesting progress. In this respect, the Swiss brand Sequent offers analogue timepieces, based on the classic time reading with two hands, but with self-winding or solar-powered electronic movementswhich reflect the company's philosophy: technology, health and sustainability.
The Elektron model, with a 42 mm case, is powered by a cell that stores the energy generated by a tungsten rotor similar to that of any automatic watch. Functions, in addition to time display, include monitoring of steps, calories consumed, pulse and sleep, and possibly routes taken, but only when paired with a smartphone.
Just a few useful data to keep an eye on your health, which can be consulted thanks to the multifunctional indicator at 6 o'clockwhich can display pre-set targets or, by pressing the crown, the power reserve, which can be up to one year.
There is recharging and reloading
The solar-charged Sequent watch is called Solar Charge and features a multifunctional indicator displaying activity data or power reserve.
This model uses solar energy. The layout is similar to that of the previous model, with a single multifunction indicator at 6 o'clock, but charging is solarto the advantage of size (40.90 mm in diameter and 12.90 mm thick) and autonomy, which in this case can be up to two years.
It is available with a steel or plastic caseresistant to a pressure of 5 atmospheres and in various colour combinations for dials and straps.
There is also a capsule collection created in collaboration with French designer Romaric André, known as seconde/seconde, in which the hand of the multifunction indicator is shaped like an ice cream cone melting on the irreverent 'Fuckin Sun!' inscription. All versions of the Elektron model are currently sold out, while the price of the Solar Charger is €735.95. Website: www.sequentworld.com; Instagram: @sequentworld.
