Vtg Bucherer Swiss Chalet Musical Chiming Alarm Clock Plays “Arrivederci Roma”




This delightful little vintage clock chimes the song Arrivederci Roma. Considering the song, it was probably made in the 50s (Vic Damone) or 60s (Dean Martin) when the recording was popular. Measuring 3 1/4 inches tall by approximately 3 1/2 inches wide and a bit under 2 inches deep. I have experimented with the clock and it works! Should you buy it please remember to never give it more than three winds. If you were looking to buy one of these clocks I’m sure you will notice how many of them are already sprung. Likewise the chime winds and plays. Again you Do Not want this thing too tight. Be sure to follow the directions of the arrows around the keys when setting the clock.
NOW here’s the problem the alarm chime goes off approximately two hours earlier than it is set. I am sure this could be corrected at the jewelers in no time.
It is being sold As-Is. The problem with older clocks is they can leave one location working just fine, and arrive in another with issues.
However, this one is made by Bucherer a very old, trusted name in clock making. The clock is also marked seven jewels.
It is in very good used vintage condition.
