I am selling this unique SWISS Imhof Bucherer Alarm Clock which is richly GILT. It has a beautiful MUSICAL Alarm of a song called "Doctor Zhivago Lara's Theme". This clock is an absolute rarity! The "pillars", the legs and carriage handle as well as the alarm hand and the floral decoration piece on the dial are gilt. The rest of the body of the clock is made of brass in an amazingly good condition. At the front there is a think, real glass window without any scratches. Behind this window you will find the dial which has Roman numbers and the text "8 (for 8 days)". "IMHOF", "SWISS MADE" This clock is one of the TOP pieces of the vintage IMHOF range! At the rear there are 2 buttons to set the time and alarm and there is an on-off (Push-Pull) button to select the alarm function to be silent or not. You will also find two winding handles to wind the alarm and the time section. There is a label on the bottom telling the name of the chime (DOCTOR ZHIVAGO LARA'S THEME) and there is a serial / type number stamped in the metal with " 120 492" and "SWISS". Dimensions: Weight 765 (!) grams, Height 6.3 Inch -> 16 cm Width 3.7 Inch -> 9,5 cm Depth 1.8 Inch -> 4,5 cm Of course this object hasn't passed time without cosmetic (!) minor defects. Mentionable is that the clock runs approx 35 seconds per hour too slow. Please take
