The story
Founded by Erwin Bernheim in 1967.1
Foundation and early years
Mondaine was founded by Erwin Bernheim in 1951, following the takeover of 1928 establishment Neuchatel Watch.
Swiss railway clock licence
In 1986, Mondaine gained the commercial licence to the Swiss railway clockface from SBB. The production of watches based on this design became the company's most recognisable product line.
Recent developments
Mondaine stopped using the 58 second marker design in 2001, switching to the traditional 60 second markers.
In 2013, a redesigned model was launched under the name stop2go. In keeping with how the movement itself works, the crown is shaped like a rocker switch that you flip back and forth instead of winding.
