A bit of history:
Arthur Imhof S.A. was established in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1924 and became one of the leading manufacturers of exclusive desk and table clocks in Switzerland. With a focus on quality, luxurious materials and refined design, ImHof earned a reputation as the “Rolls-Royce” of clocks during the following decades. The company became known for its precision timepieces and, alongside Cartier and Bucherer, is today regarded as an important part of Swiss mid-century clockmaking.
