Its use of such iconic emblems, such as its SBB Swiss railway clock and the Helvetica font, has meant it is inextricably linked to this Alpine country and that most Swiss of pursuits.The Helvetica watch case evokes the numeral 1 of the namesake font, and it is featured in the numbers and letters on the face.
