Imhof was a respected Swiss maker known for producing precision pieces and special commissions for major European houses. This example carries the hallmarks of that era: brass columns, black timber base, and a finely detailed terrestrial globe printed in gilt.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to translate global timekeeping into a single sculptural instrument, the clock presents with strong presence and a well preserved finish across metal, timber, and globe surfaces. The underside retains the engraved 1979 plate that marks it as one of the first units issued from the initial four year production cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresents very well throughout.
