dkzzzzI think you have it reversed: Stop2Go is to tickle tourists. There is no functional reason to have a watch work that way. By design, in a Stop2Go watch, the second hand runs 1 percent faster than it should, in order to accommodate the kludgy 1940s clock synchronization system used by Swiss railways. I doubt that even Swiss railways use the original system anymore. It's like the dearly departed Paris Pneumatique postal system: fondly remembered, but a part of the past.

Cloaca
- Stop2Go design, like most things is outdated now due to radio and quartz tech. However all clocks at Basel SBB and adjoining stations are still carry that charming feature today.
- Aside from red (semaphore) disc on the second hand the STop2Go is iconic complication and if one wants to purchase SBB clock it has to have Stop2Go, Why not? After-all, that is what makes these clocks unique. Otherwise you just buying cheap homage watch, - the main complication.
- Unfortunately Mondaine is a predator company making extremely poor quality products , alas I scrapped the idea of having Stop2Go clock on my kitchen wall after reading all horrible reviews on Amazon.
