If you want to experience the Swiss Railway clock in your home, this is the easiest way to go about it. At a generous 25cm/9.8” this wall clock by Mondaine is easily visible from across a room and has all of the design elements of the original. Bold markers and hands, and that signature red lollipop seconds.
We have two versions available, one with a red exterior, which has become a signature addition of Mondaine. On the wall, it really stands out. The other is an interesting riff on the design, featuring a black exterior, and an inverted dial. What was white is now black and vice versa for an even stronger look. The red seconds hand remains, of course.

In 1944, Hans Hilfikker, inspired by the Bauhaus movement, designed one of the most iconic dials of all time. A designer and engineer working for the Federal Swiss Railways, this dial became the “Official Swiss Railways Clock”. A symbol of accuracy and efficiency, these bold, purposeful clocks are still found to this day throughout Switzerland. In 1986 Mondaine obtained the rights to use this design in wrist watches and home goods, elevating this iconic Swiss dial onto the global stage. Since then, the Mondaine watches and clocks have remained true to their source material, becoming icons in their own right.
