Magnet Clock Mini Magnetic Dual-Use Clock Copper / CLOCK66082BK

In any train station along the railway line from Schaffhausen in the north of Switzerland to Lugano in the south, you are sure to find the ubiquitous, enduring, and iconic contemporary Swiss design of the 20th century: the Official Swiss Railways Clock. Designed in 1944 by Mr. Hans Hilfiker, an engineer for the Swiss Federal Railways, this clock has served millions of travelers passing through all Swiss train stations daily for decades. Thanks to the Mondaine watch company, this Swiss-born design has gradually become known worldwide. In 1986, the Mondaine brand, owned by the Swiss Bernheim family, collaborated 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. With over 100 years since the birth of the Bauhaus Movement (1919-1933), this most famous design trend of the 20th century continues to influence architecture, graphic arts, and even consumer product design today. As the most core and best-selling product line of the Swiss Railways brand – the household wall clock – a new upgraded and more versatile product has been launched to meet the needs of more diverse interior styles. With a mini diameter of 5cm, it resembles a slightly enlarged wristwatch. The back cover is equipped with a magnet, allowing it to be used on refrigerators and office partitions, or combined with the base for display on tabletops or shelves. Its dual functionality complements its unchanging classic design. The design of the copper-colored clock is inspired by 'Transitional Design,' which typically blends modern materials like steel and glass and then pairs them with luxurious furniture. It is a highly popular style because it borrows from both traditional design and modern techniques, creating a perfectly balanced, 'not-too-much' ambiance in a space; this sense of balance is captivating and unexpected. Copper is an astonishing color that embodies both vintage and modern qualities. From traditional interior decoration to mid-century modern design, copper adds a chic metallic touch to any decor.
