| The "Essence" series case is made using environmentally friendly renewable materials, based on castor oil, which is said to have been used by Cleopatra. The strap is made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material based on renewable resources. The quick-release feature allows for easy strap changes without tools. The "Mondaine" watch was developed in 1932 when Hans Hilfiker, who joined SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) as an engineer, 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 sync with the minute hand without error, 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, resembling the departure lights used by station staff to signal train departures. The station clock, which makes the second hand pause and the minute hand jump forward, continues to support the accurate operation of Swiss railways. In 1986, foreseeing the various changes in Switzerland and the shift in consumer preferences towards simpler designs, the owner of Mondaine acquired the design license for the station clock and created the "Swiss Federal Railways Official Watch." Wit, curiosity for new things, and flexibility unbound by tradition came together through a series of fortunate coincidences, 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 is a timepiece that allows you to reflect on such history. | |
