Description
This unique Imhof desk clock was created in Switzerland in the early 1960s and retailed exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue. The piece is striking in its design, with dark stained glass panels framing a crisp white clock face. The dial is detailed with bold copper numerals that match the warm copper base, creating a clean yet luxurious mid-century aesthetic. On the underside, the original copper stamp remains clearly visible, confirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.
The clock is in handsome vintage condition . The stained glass sides are intact and retain their deep color, the face remains clean, and the copper elements have developed a rich character over time.
Imhof was renowned for its fine desk clocks throughout the mid-twentieth century, producing timepieces that blended Swiss horological precision with modern design. This particular example, created for Saks Fifth Avenue, captures the sophistication and exclusivity of its era and would make a distinguished addition to any collection of vintage clocks, mid-century design objects, or Saks Fifth Avenue memorabilia.
