Marine clock
Description
This is a mechanical ship clock with authentic specifications, featuring a heavy brass case with nickel plating.
It is characterized by its high-quality finish, combining a classic appearance typical of marine clocks with a glass bezel. The robust and beautiful nickel-plated case harmonizes well with office desks, studies, living rooms, and marine-themed interiors.
The movement features an 8-day mechanical ship clock movement. It is a traditional mechanical clock that operates by winding a spring, without the need for batteries. By winding the spring approximately once every 8 days, you can enjoy the unique and rich passage of time that only a mechanical clock can offer.
The striking mechanism employs an authentic glass-striking system with a bell. This traditional time-signaling method, unique to marine clocks, changes the number of strikes every 30 minutes, with the bell ringing from 1 to 8 times in a 4-hour cycle.
It also features a striking stop function that allows you to stop the striking when necessary. This ensures peace of mind when using it in quiet environments or when you wish to mute the bell sound, such as at night.
This is a distinctive piece that combines the traditional beauty of marine clocks with the unique charm of mechanical timepieces.
