SBB Wall clock 250mm Gold

Kr 2.790

Switzerland is world-renowned for its punctuality, a reputation that has been achieved, among other things, due to the accuracy and durability of "The Swiss Railways Clock". The clock can be found at every train station in Switzerland, a total of over 3,000 locations. Its simple and unique design has become an international symbol of reliability and travelers across Switzerland are quickly learning to rely on the easy-to-read watch to catch their departure.

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.
