Imhof World Clock for Royal Geographical Society – Swiss 1979 Globe Design
SKU: E21087
A Timeless Orbit – The Royal Geographical Society World Clock by Arthur Imhof
An exquisite union of horology and cartography, this limited-edition masterpiece by Arthur Imhof SA evokes the elegance of a bygone age. Crafted circa 1979 in the horological heart of La Chaux-de-Fonds, this striking "Terrestrial Globe" table clock was created exclusively for the esteemed Royal Geographical Society — an institution dedicated since 1830 to the noble pursuit of charting the world.
Resting upon a refined square wooden base, darkened to accentuate its golden contours, the clock features a matte black terrestrial globe, adorned with delicate gold screen-printed detailing. Encircling it, a 24-hour rotating copper dial glides gracefully, marked by Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic for the minutes — a silent echo of time’s continuous journey.
An engraved brass plaque reads "The Royal Geographical Society World Clock 1981", anchoring this heirloom to its prestigious origin. Powered by an 8-day mechanical movement, this piece blends artisanal precision with worldly elegance. Measuring 22 x 22 cm and standing 28 cm tall, it is a statement of both intellect and refinement.
Among the earliest from a series manufactured over just four years, this particular globe — discreetly dated 1979 beneath the base — stands as a rare and distinguished offering. A true collector’s treasure, born from the hands of master clockmakers renowned for creations gracing the maisons of Hermès and Cartier.

I had been looking for XVN rings as I love the style. This jasper ring is perfect. It arrived promptly and was packaged in its own ring box. I also purchased 3 other XVN rings and was pleasantly surprised that a postal refund was given as they came together in the same parcel.
My ring arrived late this afternoon. It is absolutely STUNNING & GORGEOUS. I brought this ring for a 60th birthday gift, my friend will totally love it.
