Craftsmanship meets Innovation
MONDAINE'S BACKLIGHT TECHNOLOGY
Using proprietary tech, Mondaine has innovatively installed Super-LumiNova® on the back side of the hour and minute hands that allows the wearer to keep time in any lighting condition.
History
The Swiss Federal Railways have been synonymous with precision and punctuality for over a century. The unique design of the official clock features a red second hand inspired by the red paddle used by train station managers to signal the departure of trains.
Mondaine pays homage to this iconic design of watches and clocks. With the Backlight Technology, the timeless elegance of the design can be appreciated even at night, without any disruption to the visual aesthetic.
It's the perfect combination of form and function - a true reflection of Swiss craftsmanship and attention to detail.
HOW IT WORKS
Mondaine’s Backlight technology is powered by Super-LumiNova®. It allows time to be visible no matter the light condition.
Foils filled with high Super-LumiNova® material, a non-radioactive and non-toxic alternative for illuminating markings on timepieces, are glued to the backside or in the front of the hour and minute hands.
This advanced and safe fluorescent material operates like a light battery. After sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light, they glow in the dark for many hours.
Super-LumiNova® allows the hands and indexes to glow and provide unparalleled night-time readability.
