About the Item

1960s Mid-Century Modern lucite and gilt brass sphere/ball paperweight clock with 15 jewel wind-up movement by swiss clockmaker Arthur Imhof By: Arthur Imhof Material: brass, copper, zinc, metal, acrylic, lucite, plastic, synthetic, multi-gemstone Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, polished, gilt Dimensions: 3.5 in x 3.5 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1960 Style: Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Place of origin: Switzerland Encased in a transparent lucite sphere, this mid-20th century clock by Swiss maker Arthur Imhof merges form and function in a striking display of horological artistry. The gilt brass mechanism, visible through the clear acrylic shell, showcases the timekeeping hands and the intricate inner workings of the 15-jewel movement. This precision engineering, where jewels reduce friction at key points, speaks to the quality of Imhof's craftsmanship. With its clean lines and aesthetic, the spherical design embodies the influence of the Space Age that was prevalent in the mid-century modern design. A flat base allows the piece to double as a paperweight, marrying practicality with avant-garde style. The clock's winding mechanism, accessible via a small key, maintains its operational integrity. Imhof's maker's mark is prominently displayed on both the face and the reverse, affirming its Swiss pedigree. This timepiece not only tells time but also serves as a captivating sculptural object, inviting contemplation of its mechanical beauty and innovative design ethos.

Located in Roma, IT
In 1975, the prestigious Swiss watch company Swiza chose this watch as the solitary protagonist of its magazine advertising campaign. You can see why. Modern and very unique, it features a nicely weighty gilt ball clock, an 8 day power with an alarm, that sits cradled on a very modern lucite base. The clock can stand without the lucite base, although you probably won't want to separate this duo. The sphere clock...
