In 1944, Hans Hilfiker, a Swiss engineer, designer and employee of the Federal Swiss Railways, created a clock which has become known as the “Official Swiss Railways Clock”. In 1986, the Mondaine watch company was inspired by the blueprint of the iconic patented design of the Railways Clock, and turned it into a watch collection - with official license from the Federal Swiss Railways. All the Mondaine watches are designed based on the Classic Swiss Railways Clock look and style. They are designed with clean and classic, minimalist style and a Swiss guarantee of quality watches.
