Mondaine A658 Classic 30mm Grape Leather Authentic Swiss Design 2-Year Warranty Stylish Timepiece
Mondaine A658 Classic 30mm Grape Leather Authentic Swiss Design 2-Year Warranty Stylish Timepiece
| Product Highlights | |
| The sustainable strap is made from grape leather, which reuses waste grape skins, making it a more environmentally friendly product. Quick release function allows for easy strap changes without tools. The "Mondaine" watch was developed in 1932 when Hans Hilfiker, appointed as an engineer at SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), was tasked with synchronizing all the inaccurate Swiss station clocks that were disrupting train operations. Hilfiker set up a master clock to synchronize all the clocks, moving the minute hand with signals sent every minute through an electrical network. However, the second hand, which operated with an independent motor, could have discrepancies. To ensure the second hand moved in perfect sync with the minute hand, he created a second hand that completes a full rotation in 58.5 seconds. When the minute hand reaches the 12 o'clock position once every minute due to the signal from the electrical line, the second hand starts moving again with the minute hand. The design of the red circle at the tip cleverly hides the movement of the second hand, which cannot be perfectly aligned with the index, reminiscent of the departure lights used by station staff to signal train departures. The station clock, where the second hand pauses and the minute hand jumps forward, continues to support the accurate operation of Swiss railways. In 1986, foreseeing the shift in consumer preferences towards simpler designs, the owner of Mondaine obtained the design license for the station clock and created the "Official Swiss Railways Watch." Wit, curiosity for new things, and flexibility unbound by tradition came together by chance, transforming the station clock that supports the accurate operation of Swiss railways into a wristwatch. Even as times change, the technology combined with wit and humor continues to support Swiss railway culture. This timepiece allows you to reflect on such history. | |
