Mondaine introduces its latest wall clock design with the new Swiss Federal Railway clock that is influenced by the Bauhaus-themed SBB clock, which is a consistent fixture at the famous punctual railway in Switzerland since 1944. It displays consistent timing across the entire network and uses a red lollipop sweep second hand, which pauses at the 12 o'clock position until it gets a central impulse to move on the next minute.
The clock also features the brand's licensed stop2go recreation as the movement reaches the 12 o'clock position ahead of time and pauses there for two seconds before continuing again. The clock can be enabled by WiFi set up to learn different timezones and daylight-saving times.
