A Swiss engineer, working for the Swiss Railway Station, he decided to design a clock that would synchronise the departure time for all the trains coming and leaving Zurich’s main station. The result was a clock that was powered by an electric motor, which controls the clock allowing it a complete rotation in 58.5 seconds. The red hand would then pause for 1.5 seconds and then jump forward to meet up with the minute hand again to allow it to synchronise with the master clock in the signal box. It derives from the red signs held by train conductors. Mondaine, originally founded in 1951, enjoyed a period of success after releasing one of the first timepieces to display a digital time reading on a wristwatch and the first LCD watch in 1957. However, it was not until 1986 that the design of the SBB Railway clock began to feature on Mondaine’s wristwatches. The famous white face accompanied by the bold red second hand and the black minute and hour hands would later become a timeless design used on not only wristwatches, but on pocket watches, alarm clocks, and even wall clocks. The love for the simple, timeless design of the Mondaine watch has been widespread. Mondaine is sold in over forty countries and in thousands of sales outlets. The watch can also proudly hang in famous museums, train stations, airports, and of course in the SBB Railway Station.
