Product Description: |
Destined to grace the finest locations: from the main bulkhead of a J-Class yacht, to the mahogany-panelled walls of a retired Admiral’s study. This ultimate range of ships’ bridge instruments is specially made by a world-renowned instrument maker, located in the Black Forest region of Germany. We choose them for their high degree of “vertical integration” (they make the majority of components themselves) and watchmaker-like precision quality control. The care with which the individual stages of work are performed – cutting, drilling, polishing, and assembly – really can be seen and felt in the finished product. The instruments’ clear glass faces and white dials with black markings are the opposite of “fussy”, and offer exemplary clarity even in poor light. All have lacquered brass cases with robust hinges and screw closures, designed to last a lifetime. Both clocks in this range have the facility to chime the “Ships Bells” watch pattern developed over centuries and favoured to this day by almost all navy and merchant navy officers worldwide. Whilst it looks all-but identical to the mechanical version, this has a high-precision battery-powered quartz movement, which (romanticism aside) doesn’t need winding up. Uses one AA battery. Dimensions: dial: 100 mm, case diameter: 140 mm, depth: 70 mm.
