Mondaine Gottardo 2016 Quartz Watch

The Mondaine Gottardo 2016 timepiece is much more than meets the eye. Based on a heavy locomotive used by the Swiss Federal Railways—sometimes referred to as the “Kantonslokomotive”—it features a bezel punched directly from the exterior of the famous train. The Gottardo name comes from the Gotthard route, a large part of a major international railway through Europe. Combining this historical significance with the iconic Mondaine aesthetic, the watch is a statement in any collection. Flip the stainless steel case over and you’ll see an engraving of the train coasting through the Swiss Alps. Like any Mondaine watch, the dial is super easy to read thanks to the lollipop-shaped seconds hands and large black stick markers.
