travel clock identification

[luiazazrambo]

Hi *,

Could anyone ID my travel clock? Its a swiss made 8 days travel clock but I cannot read whats written above the "8 days" text. Not even with magnifier.

Best regards,

Lui

Not much detail there, can you try with better light. I can't think what else would assist, perhaps using a polarising filter, or taking the image from a low angle to see if there is depth information there.

This is the best I can come up with in terms of image manipulation, but there is next to no detail in the original image.

More pictures of the rest of the clock might also be a help.

If I were to take a completely uninformed guess, I would go for Tiffany & Co, in a similar style to the image below, but it might be almost anything.

The raised lettering in the dial font numbers is somewhat similar to this example too, not that this proves much.

Sometimes an ultraviolet light can help. I would use one on Loncase Clock dials, always worked for me.

Good point, often even though the pigment is faded and is damaged,  where it has been applied may fluoresce or react differently to UV from the surrounding area. Certainly worth a try.

I got one what I use to make circuit boards I just need to find it as I have no idea where I put it. I will post a picture If I manage to find it.

Unfortunately the UV light trick did not help. I am going to put the clock together (once i can replace a broken screw) and will post a picture here.
