from the website. Pontifa?

Our vintage movements were originally built by a small Swiss manufacture named Pontifa, located in Les Ponts-de-Martel, in the canton of Neuchâtel. Founded in 1850, Pontifa produced movements used in everything from pocket watches to dashboard clocks, but its speciality was eight-day travel alarm clocks just like ours. Movements built by Pontifa were used by some of the most prestigious firms in watchmaking for decades, and to find any number of them in unused, practically new-old-stock condition is unheard of in the contemporary clock collecting community. To assist with the clock's physical construction, we are collaborating with one of the top and longest-tenured firms in today's industry that specializes in clocks and complications. That's why, despite the vintage movement inside, the HODINKEE Eight-Day Travel Clock is not a museum piece. It is a fully functional tool built with thoughtful consideration for the particularities of contemporary watch collectors.
