Accessorise with watches inspired by an icon of Swiss minimalist design

Some designs become timeless because they get the essentials right from the very beginning. The MONDAINE SBB Collection brings the original design of the iconic Swiss Railways Station Clock to the wrist in miniature. Created by Swiss engineer and designer Hans Hilfiker in 1944, its clear hour markers, bold black hands and distinctive red seconds hand have made it one of Switzerland’s most recognisable designs. More than 80 years later, its minimalist aesthetic remains as relevant as ever. Alongside this iconic collection, MONDAINE's Doppio Collection offers a contemporary expression of Swiss minimalist design. Defined by its signature double-line hands and hour markers, concave dial and double-domed sapphire crystal, Doppio combines visual depth with striking simplicity. Together, the two collections reflect MONDAINE's commitment to Swiss Made quality, functional design, and timeless aesthetics. Distinctive yet understated, these watches are made to be worn and appreciated every day.
