The Brand: Mondaine The history of Mondaine begins in 1944, with Hans Hilfiger a Swiss engineer, who was working for the Swiss Railways. He decided to design a clock that would synchronise the departure time for all of the trains coming and leaving. The result was a clock that was powered by a motor, which controls the clock allowing a complete rotation in 58.5 seconds. The hand would pause for 1.5 seconds and then jump forward to meet up with the minute hand. Mondaine enjoyed a period of success after releasing  one of the first timepieces to display a digital time. However it was not until 1986 that the design of the SBB Railway clock began to feature on Mondaine’s wristwatches. After they obtained the necessary licenses they released the first station clock wristwatch. 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, with the watch being sold in over forty countries and in thousands of sales outlets. The watch can also be found proudly hanging in famous museums, train stations, airports, and of course in the SBB Railway Station.
