AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional and highly prestigious piece of Swiss watchmaking.
This antique 8-day table clock / travel alarm clock in a small size was manufactured by the world-famous Swiss company Zenith Watch Co. around the beginning of the 20th century (circa 1890–1915).
Design & Features:
The clock stands out for its top quality workmanship, featuring a sturdy case. It sits elegantly on two original spherical support feet and is crowned by a distinctive, heavy triangular carrying handle at the top.
The original dial presents a beautiful patina of time, bears easy-to-read Arabic numerals and is equipped with two functional internal sub-dials: one above for the seconds display and one below for setting the time of the mechanical alarm.
The base is signed "SWISS MADE".
Mechanism & Authenticity:
The bronze movement plate on the back is fully accessible and bears the official embossed manufacturer's stamp: "ZENITH WATCH Co. SWISS MADE", as well as the original F/S (Fast/Slow) speed adjustment lever.
Technical Specifications:
Manufacturer: Zenith Watch Co. (Le Locle, Switzerland)
Estimated Period: Late 19th / Early 20th Century (Circa 1900)
Authenticity: 100% genuine, bears the full Zenith signature and stamp.
Material: Nickel/Chrome Plated, Solid Brass and Glass.
Clock Type: Table Clock / Travel Alarm Clock Movement: Top Swiss Zenith mechanical, hand-wound.
Condition: In fully working condition. Both the clock movement and the alarm function have been checked and are working properly. The case and dial retain a stunning, authentic patina of time without any alterations.
Shipping & Packaging: The clock will be packaged with great care and shipped as a registered parcel with a tracking number
Important: The age of the item is determined approximately. Any statements I make regarding the authenticity, performance, description, date, age, provenance, title or condition of the work are solely my own judgment and opinion.
DISCLAIMER: Sold as an antique decoration only. No warranty of mechanical function or accuracy is included. The buyer acknowledges that this is a decorative item and not a guaranteed timekeeping instrument.
