Unique Watch For Men

Unique Watch For Men

Most Mondaine watches are heavily influenced by classical Swiss 

railway clocks, and according to the Mondaine web site, Mondaine is 

the official Swiss railways watch. The design originated in 1944 

from the Swiss Railway Engineer Hans Hilfiker (1901–1993)

The original movement was unlike other watches and unique because of 

the following fact. By spreading 58 divisions over the 360 degrees 

(rather than the usual 60; seconds), yet still ticking every second, 

the second hand comes to a complete stop at the 12 numeral for two 

seconds, giving the illusion that time has stopped. However the 

company stopped making models with this mechanism around 2001.[1]

The Wristwatch version was released by Mondaine in 1986. In 2006, a 

fifty-percent stake in the American Luminox company was purchased by 

the Swiss brand Mondaine, giving Mondaine increased access to the 

American market, and Luminox increased access to the European and 

Asian markets.Additionally, Mondaine offers a selection of models inspired by 

modern art.
