The Mariner Clock LIMITED EDITION OF 500! Chelsea forged its early reputation as Timekeepers of the Sea with yacht wheel clocks that evoke the romance of the sea. First appearing in the 1911 catalog, these classic collectors clocks are now available as limited edition pieces. The MARINER design was patented by Chelsea in 1911. Later the design was copied by other makers - affirmation that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Special tooling was painstakingly created for the yacht wheel and metal base to ensure each element of the unique design was reproduced exactly like the original. Metal base and case are forged from thick brass. The forged brass bezel opens with the original shield hinge and latch design. Polished and bronzed finishes are preserved with a clear lacquer coating. The clock's 6 inch face is deeply etched brass, silvered, enameled and lacquered. Wood base and back are solid mahogany. Inside, the precision wind-up mechanical timekeeping mechanism chimes the ship's bells on the hour and half hour. A uniquely satisfying way to record the passage of time. This is no ordinary timekeeping movement. Designed over one hundred years ago, the Chelsea movement has achieved a reputation for accuracy and reliability of a fine Swiss watch. These Timekeepers of the Sea evoke the romance of the sea. They will be the focal point of any room to be enjoyed for generation after generation. Dimensions: H. 17-1/2" x W. 14-1/2" x D. 5-/12" SKU Number: chelsea2003m |
