Whether in a train station from Schaffhausen in the north to Lugano in the south of Switzerland, you're bound to encounter this ubiquitous, enduring icon of 20th-century contemporary Swiss design: the Official Swiss Railways Clock. Originally designed in 1944 by Swiss Federal Railways engineer Hans Hilfiker, this railway clock has, for decades, served millions of travelers passing through every station across Switzerland daily. Thanks to the Mondaine watch company, this quintessential Swiss design has become known worldwide. In 1986, the Mondaine brand, owned by the Swiss Bernheim family, partnered with the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS) for the first time, transforming this classic clock face into a range of exquisite watches and household wall clocks. Over 100 years since the dawn of the Bauhaus Movement (1919-1933), the influence of this most celebrated design movement of the 20th century continues to be felt in architecture, graphic arts, and even consumer product design. As the core and best-selling product line of the Swiss Railways brand – the household wall clock – a new, upgraded, and more versatile version has been launched to meet the diverse spatial needs of various styles. In a compact 5cm diameter, it resembles a slightly enlarged watch. The back features a magnet, allowing it to be used on refrigerators and office partitions. It can also be combined with its base for display on desks or shelves, offering dual functionality with its unchanging classic design. The design of the bronze clock is inspired by ‘Transitional Design,’ which typically blends modern materials like steel and glass, then pairs them with luxurious furniture. It's a highly favored style because it draws from both traditional design and modern techniques, creating a perfectly balanced, understated ambiance. This sense of equilibrium is captivating and surprisingly effective. Bronze is a remarkable color, possessing both vintage and contemporary qualities. From traditional interior décor to mid-century modern design, bronze adds a chic metallic touch to any setting.
