Mondaine, established in 1986 by Erwin Bernheim in Switzerland, is celebrated for transforming the official Swiss Railways clock into wristwatches. Inspired by Hans Hilfiker's 1944 design with its distinctive red paddle second hand, Mondaine embodies Swiss punctuality and minimalist aesthetics. As an official licensee of Swiss Federal Railways, the brand produces "Swiss Made" timepieces with eco-friendly practices. Today, Mondaine watches represent functional design and sustainability, akin to the clean lines of Skagen.
Mondaine: The Essence of Swiss Railway Precision
Mondaine captures the spirit of Swiss efficiency, turning a national icon into wearable art since its founding nearly four decades ago.
The Mondaine collection offers minimalist watches for men and women, primarily with battery-powered Swiss quartz movements for exact timekeeping. Signature series include the Classic with the famous railway dial, Evo2 for evolved ergonomics, Helvetica for typographic inspiration, and Stop2go mimicking the railway clock's pause function, sharing the simple elegance of Rosefield. Cases are stainless steel with mineral or sapphire crystals, water resistance up to 30m, and straps in leather, mesh, or recycled PET. Some models feature solar-powered quartz for extended battery life.
