Hours
Wikipedia's InterCity route list confirms IC81 runs Interlaken Ost-Bern-Zürich HB-Romanshorn hourly as one working, so the Zürich-Interlaken leg genuinely needs no change at Bern despite Bern being an intermediate stop, not a terminus for this train.

Easy to get wrong
Reported durations range widely, from about 1 hour 50 minutes on the fastest individual working up to roughly 2 hours 17 minutes on average across all services of the day, so no single duration is stated as authoritative here - a resort-bound traveller should check the specific departure rather than assume one fixed time.
