The Swiss railway clock was designed in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker, a Swiss engineer and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) employee, together with Moser-Baer, a Swiss clock manufacturer, for use by the SBB as a station clock.[1] In 1953, Hilfiker added a red second hand in the shape of the baton used by train dispatch staff,[2] giving the clock its current appearance.
