The popular collection now also offers automatic watches
MONDAINE is extending their Cushion Collection line with new automatic models. The Cushion Collection is inspired by vintage design with a timeless cushion shape that pays homage to the brand’s history and heritage. The organically shaped cushion case brings a modern elegance to both dial and case design. There is a fluidity and non-conformity that make these watches truly exceptional timepieces that transcend from sporty, to casual and classic.
A Modern Twist: A Unique Case
The two new timepieces come in a 39mm case size and feature a square case with rounded, smooth corners. The anti-reflective coating of the double-doomed sapphire crystal makes it extremely strong and scratch-resistant. The Swiss automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve can be admired through the glass case-back. The watch’s ergonomic and elegant cushion shape makes it highly versatile. Transitioning seamlessly from day to night and business to leisure, the watch’s curved design allows clothing to glide over it, making it not only visually appealing, but also comfortable to wear.
Where functionality meets aesthetics
The new Cushion Automatic features a 39mm stainless steel case. The date display on the white dial allows the wearer to track the date with ease. Both additions feature BackLight, a patented Mondaine technology, enabling the time to be read even in the dark. Mondaine has carefully selected Super-LumiNova® pigments to meet the incredibly high standards of Swiss quality, ensuring the utmost afterglow performance.
Why the Cushion Automatic Redefines Timekeeping
The Cushion Automatic watches represent a perfect fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, are powered by the natural motion of the wearer’s arm, avoiding the need for batteries and reducing electronic waste. A rotor, a semi-circular weight within the watch, moves with the wearer’s motion, winding the mainspring to store energy, which is then released in a controlled manner to power the watch. This intricate mechanism not only reflects the artistry of mechanical watchmaking but also aligns with modern sustainability values.
Mondaine’s Cushion Automatic watches take this concept further by also using eco-friendly materials. The stainless-steel case and strap contains up to 91% recycled content, while the vegan grape leather straps, derive from organic wine waste. These watches are a testament to Mondaine’s commitment to reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality or style.
A Fusion of Sustainability and Style
The classic white dial is either paired with a black strap made from innovative vegan grape leather, or a Milanese mesh stainless steel strap. Mondaine’s practical interchangeable strap system allows wearers to effortlessly change the look of their watch, creating multiple unique styles without the need to invest in additional timepieces.
The two new Cushion Automatic watches blend sustainability with modern design, offering an elegant interpretation of a classic icon. Perfectly suited for today’s discerning watch enthusiasts, this collection exemplifies Mondaine’s dedication to innovation, heritage, and a greener future.
