Bidding starts at £180.
Distinctive, dependable and desirable, Swiss Mondaine watches first went into production in the 1950s in Switzerland. Over the years there have been various designs, but it is known for one particular face based on official Swiss railway clocks.
All variations (of which there are many) pretty much stick to this basic format with large round faces and geometric hands. New models tend to be relatively affordable and perform well. The company is also known for its sustainability efforts, making it a brand to identify with.
Supreme Auctions’ timed online sale, featuring display watches, is live on TheSaleroom.com and runs until February 5.
