Mondaine offers a rare and wonderful combination of truly iconic styling with a rich and functional heritage. This means their timepieces give you an aesthetic boost and the unmistakable designs get the attention of passers-by and watch connoisseurs alike. Since 1944 Swiss engineer and designer, Hans Hilfiker’s clock has represented timekeeping on the Swiss railway. In 1986, with a license from the Federal Swiss Railways, the Bernheim family turned the design into a watch collection and the rest is history. Today, Mondaine’s watches are recognized as one of only ten classic Swiss watch designs so each timepiece has its own small place in history.

The 40mm Simply Elegant model takes the iconic fascia and packages it in a 40mm case for a more petit fit and even fresher look. Bold hour-markers, hands, and the spectacular red seconds hand all play their part in the stunning looks. A red branded crown gives a subtle update that is striking but discreet, perfect with this minimalist, classic watch.
