There is a place in Zurich where time and encounters are part of the same story: the Meeting Point at Zurich HB central station. It is precisely from this symbol of the Swiss city that the Mondaine Zurich HB Meeting Point A660.MEET.81SBB is born, a refined table clock version that brings one of the most recognizable designs of the Swiss railway tradition into your home.
It is not simply a small reproduction of a railway clock. It is a true Swiss Made design object, designed for the desk, for a home environment, or for an office where aesthetics and functionality can coexist.

From Zurich HB to a Swiss design icon
The history of Mondaine design has its roots in 1944, when Swiss engineer and designer Hans Hilfiker developed the famous Swiss Federal Railways clock. The essential dial and the characteristic red second hand would become instantly recognizable elements.
Over the decades, this minimalist language has become a true icon of Swiss design. In 1994, right at Zurich's central station, the large Meeting Point clock became a landmark for those arranging to meet at the station.
The new Mondaine Zurich HB Meeting Point takes that same identity and reduces it to a dimension perfect for contemporary interiors.
A small piece of architecture on your table
The most unique feature of the model is its three-dimensional presence. The dial is enclosed in a cubic element with dimensions of 50 × 50 × 50 mm, supported by a structure and a base that bring the total height to approximately 17 cm.
The brushed aluminum construction enhances the modern look of the object, while the white dial, black indices, and especially the red second hand reflect the elements that made the design of Swiss railway stations famous.
On the base, the characteristic graphic reference to the Meeting Point also appears, making the connection with the Zurich station even more evident.
The Mondaine charm in a table version
The strength of the Meeting Point is precisely its ability to transform an object created to be extremely functional into a decorative element. The clean lines, the absence of superfluous details, and the strong recognizability of the dial are expressions of the Mondaine philosophy.
The result is an ideal accessory for those who love Swiss design, architecture, and objects capable of telling a story without sacrificing functionality.
Inside, there is a Swiss Made quartz movement, while the dial is protected by mineral glass. The brushed aluminum case and the overall construction maintain the essential aesthetic of the original design.

An object designed for those who wish to bring the essentiality of Mondaine into their home or office: form, precision, identity, and Swiss history, enclosed in a small functional sculpture.
