In 1944, Hans Hilfiker, a Swiss Engineer and 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.

Since the first collection launched in 1986, new lines of both Mondaine Official Swiss Railways Watches and Clocks have been introduced each year. Mondaine continues to bring the excellence of Swiss precision watch making with the simple, classic style of the Official Swiss Railway Watch design.
