About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: No Name, Swiss Made STYLE / REFERENCE: Alarm Travel Clock with Original Case METAL / MATERIAL: Gilded Brass CIRCA / YEAR: 1850's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: 2 1/4 Inches in Diameter MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Cylindrical Escapement Key Winding / 7 Jewels / Alarm DIAL / HANDS: Original Kiln Fired Enamel with Original Blued Steel Hands WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This truly unique travel alarm clock is still fitted with its original leather box. The original case is done in gilded brass and it still has the original finish on it. The gilding was called Mercury Fire Gilding and was done using real mercury. In my 20's I actually traveled with this little jewel and used it as my alarm clock. It is really dependable and keeps dependable time. The entire clock and case are hand made in Switzerland about 170 years ago. It is remarkable that this clock can still be used. You set the alarm by turning the star wheel in the center and wind the clock with a key.
