In 1944, Hans Hilfiker, a Swiss engineer, designer, and employee of the Federal Swiss Railways, created a clock that has since become known as the "Official Swiss Railways Clock." Inspired by the blueprint of this iconic patented design, the Mondaine watch company introduced a watch collection in 1986, with an official license from the Federal Swiss Railways. All Mondaine watches are designed based on the classic look and style of the Swiss Railways Clock, featuring a clean, classic, and minimalist design. These watches come with the Swiss guarantee of quality.
