Mondaine

• Risk across the industry, not a finding about this company: gold and gemstone mining are linked to child labour, forced labour and mercury poisoning. (partly offset by certification or direct sourcing)
• Owns or runs its own production
• Uses recycled metals or fibres
• "Made in Switzerland" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, watch movements, cases and dials, and cast or set parts can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good.
• It is Responsible Jewellery Council certified, but its stones and gold aren't traced to the mine. The Kimberley Process only covers diamonds that fund rebel wars, not abuses by governments or forced labour.

Research notes Mondaine designs and assembles its watches at the group's own factory in Biberist, Switzerland, with Swiss Ronda and Sellita movements; the group had about 100 staff at the end of 2024, 65 in Switzerland, including people placed by two disability foundations. Components are bought mainly in Asia, chiefly China, and suppliers sign an ILO-based code checked through company visits, not independent audits. Its steel is up to 91% recycled, but it publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment.
