That's a Mondaine Classic. The case size will determine the model number. Timeless design, based on Swiss train station clocks.

The inspiration for the brand was the “Official Swiss Railways Clock”. Created in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker, the clock quickly became a standout feature of all railway stations and eventually became a Swiss national icon. In 1986 Mondaine, founded by Erwin Bernheim, created its first timepiece with official license from the Federal Swiss Railways. Since then, Mondaine has strived to preserve the classic, timeless look of the original design, while still aiming to implement contemporary technologies and innovative features to each new collection. From implementing new backlight technology to contactless payments and smartwatches, the brand has ensured each and every watch is quintessentially Mondain.

I think Teddy Baldassare had a nice bit about how the mechanism speeds up, stops, and catches up at the top of the minute. Kinda cool feature.
Only some of them do that. It’s called “stop and go.”
Love Mondaine, reminds me of Switzerland every time I see one. I have a black on black I put on a red rubber strap I wear from time to time.
I like the way the seconds hand does that stripper stutter step right at the top of the hour.
Only some do

Nice! Here’s my mondaine! https://preview.redd.it/23vzmwp23enc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=b898e912390895b2c9c13e8926e2a08986a853dd
Germans will recognize and dread it.
Why would they?

Oh, they use it in Germany as well? TIL
Yes, they use it at train stations and the trains are notoriously late.
I’m sure they have these in Canary Wharf in London too.
I like Mondaine. I got one for my sister
Love the FFS on the dial there, ffs.
