Kr 4.990

Switzerland is world-renowned for its punctuality, and the unique wall clocks from Mondaine can be found at every train station in the country. This is how they have become an international symbol of reliability. The red seconds hand is a small copy of the station attendant's hand-held departure signal.

This watch from Mondaine impresses with its minimalist design. With its 40 cm and a nice silver-coloured cover, it fits beautifully into any room. The second hand runs smoothly and the clock does not tick.


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.
