Product Description
In 1944, Swiss engineer Hans Hilfiker designed what would go on to become the Official Swiss Railway Clock, which featured an easy-to-read dial with large black stick markers and a bright red seconds hand. About 40 years after the clock’s debut, Mondaine received official license from the Swiss Federal Railways to use this design as a tribute to Swiss watchmaking tradition Read More
Clock is good, case turns sticky after only a short time.
After not very long, the red case for the clock turned very tacky. Seemed nice and tactile when I first got the clock, but once it got sticky, it' was a let down. Mondaine clocks and watches have always been good, a shame to tarnish the experie3nce with such a lousy case.
From its presentation box to the Silicone / Rubber cradle to the Swiss Quartz movement this clock oozes quality in construction and accuracy .
Highly recommended particularly as a Desk clock due to its size
I've always wanted a Mondaine watch as a reminder of several wonderful trips to Europe and Switzerland. The brand makes clocks for the Swiss and other railways so the watches, following the same design, are iconic.
A few years ago, that wasn't an unreasonable objective. However now it's less reasonable as the price has gone up substantially.
Enter the desk clock: it's basically a 40mm Mondaine watch in a 48mm case magnetically attached to a 70mm red base. All for $100 less than the watch itself.
An having a desk clock sitting under the monitor makes keeping up with appointments much, much easier. Despite having a timepiece on my computer, phone, and wrist, the stand-alone clock does have a real use. All in all, a welcome reminder of multiple rail journeys throughout Europe.
Everything about the piece exudes elegance. Despite the small desktop formfacotr, it is easy to read from a distance and has all the charm of fullsize Swiss Rail clocks. Extremely high build quality.
The red plastic part is bit sticky. I worry that after a certain period of time, like other cheap and low quality plastic products, it will become worse.
