Behind every MONDAINE watch is a simple belief: timeless design should be made responsibly. Under the #TIMETOCARE umbrella, our three pillars show how we turn that belief into action - for you, and for future generations.
AHEAD OF OUR TIME
An icon made with care, created to be worn for decades.
A MONDAINE watch isn’t made for seasons, it’s made for years.
With timeless design built in from the start, our iconic Official Swiss Railways Station Clock design dates back to 1944 and remains a classic.
Before sustainability had a name, we built it in. In 1973, we designed the first analog solar watches to prevent unnecessary and costly battery replacements.
And to ensure a second life for your watch, we’ll take it back (and not just our own) and break it down to recycle and upcycle the materials.
RESPONSIBILITY IN EVERY DETAIL
For the communities we work with, and the world we share.
Because responsibility is part of our craft — not an add-on.
Time is a luxury that belongs to everyone, and responsibility starts long before a watch reaches your wrist. From how we choose materials to the standards we require from our suppliers, we continually work to reduce emissions, reuse resources and recycle materials across our operations.
These efforts include our photovoltaic solar system, installed at our Swiss factory in 2019, which covers up to 80% of its electricity needs, with the remainder supplied by hydropower, alongside many other initiatives across our materials, production and operations to reduce emissions and waste.
For the emissions we cannot yet avoid, we support reforestation projects to remove an equal amount.
FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Smarter materials. Less waste. Better solutions in the making for our industry and others.
So we can keep moving forward — while reducing the impacts we have.
We’re investing in what comes next, without compromising performance, design or adding extra cost for consumers.
We’ve pioneered next-generation materials, from grape waste straps leftover from the wine industry to recycled textiles, natural materials such as cork, and plant-based compounds.
And our cases include up to 91% recycled stainless steel, chosen for strength, durability and lower material impact.
We hate waste that comes with excessive packaging, which is why we’ve designed our watch sleeves to be reusable, and have reduced our packaging volume by 50%. Even the ink and adhesives we use are non-toxic, and ribbon is made from recycled plastic bottles.
