Groupe Mondaine
The Mondaine Group is a Swiss watch manufacturer known for its focus on iconic, functional timepieces with clean, distinctive designs. Founded by Erwin Bernheim in 1951, the family-owned company has built a reputation for Swiss-made watches that balance quality craftsmanship with accessible pricing. The group manages three distinct watch brands, each with its own unique identity and market position.
Brands summary:
Mondaine is the flagship brand, and it's globally recognized for its Official Swiss Railways watch based on the iconic clock found in Swiss train stations. Luminox is the group's performance sports watch brand, known for its self-powered illumination technology that keeps the watch faces visible in any lighting conditions for up to 25 years and historic connections to the US Navy SEALs. On the less rugged end of the spectrum, Mondaine owns Pierre Cardin, a brand named for one of the most influential and prolific fashion designers of the 20th century. Inspired by Pierre Cardin's most iconic designs as well as by the energy and vibrancy of his Parisian home, the watches marry current fashion trends and traditional aesthetics for an aspirational audience. The group also operates M-Watch, a specialist in Swiss-made timepieces at entry-level price points.
