===== History =====

Mondia was founded around 1900 in [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]].

In the 1960s, Mondia expanded production and focused on the mass-market segment. This was the attraction for [[Zenith-Movado]], which brought the brand into the [[Movado-Zenith-Mondia]] umbrella in late [[1969]]. This was purchased by the Zenith Radio Corp. in [[1972]] and refocused on [[quartz]] watches.

When the group was sold to a consortium lead by Paul Castella in [[1978]], he incorporated Mondia into his [[Dixi]] machine tool company. The brand was soon retired.
