This vintage Imhof travel alarm clock is a fine example of Swiss mid century clockmaking, produced by Imhof, a renowned Swiss manufacturer founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1888. Imhof is often regarded as the “Rolls-Royce of clocks,” known for exceptional quality, precision, and craftsmanship. The dial is marked “Imhof” and “Swiss,” confirming Swiss manufacture.

The clock features a classic folding travel design with a gold tone case and a dark green leather or leatherette outer case. The silver dial displays black Arabic numerals, luminous hour markers, and elegant hands, reflecting refined mid century aesthetics. The mechanical movement is stamped with the number “8” on the rear plate, indicating an 8-day movement designed to run for approximately one week per winding.

The clock is mechanically operated and manually wound. During inspection, the clock is ticking and running, and the alarm function activates as intended. As with all vintage mechanical clocks, long-term accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

The case shows natural age-related wear, patina, and light surface marks consistent with careful use over time. A high-quality Swiss travel clock, well suited for collectors of mechanical clocks and mid century design.
