Mondaine 'Stop to Go' making a return!
Discussion
I read this on TZ-UK the other day but know not everyone on here is on there.. and I know there are a few Mondaine enthusiasts on here!

Very exciting news and the new movement sounds interesting. The only interesting / concerning thing is a lack of a price on the press release even when other Mondaine models that have been announced ahead of Basel2013 have been priced...
Can't wait!

Some more details emerging about this watch - such as it being a limited production run with each one individually numbered. I've been waiting for Mondaine to release a new Stop2Go for a few years and then they go make it a special edition. Makes me think it really won't be cheap.
I've posted questions on the Mondaine Facebook page but they only seem interested in using that for self promotion, and not answering questions about price / date of availability from would be customers.

Me too, even if it does set off my "a lot of money to spend on a Quartz" alarm!
It's a special quartz, that's my reasoning!
Well the bespoke twin quartz movement at least makes it pretty unique. And I've wanted a Mondaine with Stop2Go for ages. It's a special quartz, that's my reasoning!
I suspect it'll be more than the price that's been floated around here though - not with any factual basis, but my usual pessimism

no i'm not defending the price... however i think there are more expensive quartz watches. Most Mondaines are down under £200.
Quite. You can even spend into the thousands for some quartz models. At least the movement used in the new Stop-2-Go is bespoke to that watch, and something a bit unique. I do wonder how easy they'll be to fix in the future, and what Mondaine will be like to deal with. My limited experiences of getting anything out of Mondaine (marketing information, and a watch I tried to order a few years ago) was rather less than stellar. Enough that it's made me very reluctant to buy from them despite loving some of their designs.
