French marque? If so it could be a Garcin circa 1905, which was produced by the Société de la Voiture Bouquet, Garcin et Schivre, of Courbevoie, or BGS. BGS simultaneously produced electric vehicles sold under the Créanche brand.

A swiss Tribelhorn?

Doktorwagen from 1906. Now, if that is not a coincidence!! Here is what I received today (you can read the date on the box):
I see :( :( I've been trying to sell my spare copy of Schweizer Autos for many months now. Anyhow this is not the 1906 Doktorwagen. One more try

I've been quite lucky & patient....I set my budget quite low to buy more books and from time to time I still find the right occasion ;).
Back to the puzzle, according to that book, in 1910 there was a Typ A 2-seater.
According to that same source (that I still have to translate...) around 1908 there were 2 cars named Modell 1: the Typ A, light 2-seater kleinwagen and Type C, 2-seater kleinwagen.
Puzzle car seems to be a 2-seater kleinwagen so I'll go for a Typ C from 1908, because the Modell 2 Typ D Doppel-Phaeton of the same year in the following picture shares the same lines.
Okay, you went with the wrong answer, but mentioned the correct one - this is from 1910
