Both are Swiss watchmaking brands.
Swiss Alpine is a Grovana brand, I had a Grovana watch a few years back, was good, well made, the Swiss Alpine looks like a more affordable range, probably on a par with Swiss Military by Hanowa that IW used to do.
They are in Tenniken, small village not far from Basel.

Mondaine are the railway clock watch folk, they also own the Luminox brand (a competitor to Kevski's Traser, but more well known). 
They are okay, like the railway clock style dial, but at the cheaper end they're a bit too minimalistic in the case, you hardly realise you're wearing one, pretty light weight. I had one but always had problems trying to get a grip of the crown. But wouldn't say no to the EVO 2 automatic, better crown and bit more bulk to it.
Mondaine, just down the road from Zurich
