Kr 3.890

The official Swiss Railway watch from Mondaine has a distinct graphic design with distinctive hands and the famous red second hand that has made these watches famous around the world. The Evo series has a rounded case and a slightly softer look than the original Classic series.

Back in the 1940s, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) wanted to highlight its reputation for punctuality and asked Hans Hilfiker to design a solid legible clock. The clock should not only form the basis of SBB's identity, but also help to ensure correct departures. Hans Hilfiker, who was known for creating products that were both functional and well designed, designed the clock in 1944. Despite having no numbers on the dial, the clock is legible with only a quick glance. The red seconds hand is a small copy of the station attendant's hand-held departure signal, and has become a symbol of punctuality in Switzerland.
