Mark time in the captain’s quarters, living room or office with a Chelsea Clock Ship’s Bell desk clock and base that sets the standard for nautical timekeeping.
This distinctive, handcrafted timepiece signals the passing of time with gentle, rich-sounding chimes – eight bells at 4, 8 and 12 o'clock to mark the end of a mariner's four-hour watch, with one bell the first half-hour after, plus one additional bell with each subsequent half-hour. Behind its classic, hand-silvered dial, 290 precision brass parts and an 11-jewel movement, ensuring accuracy in time and enduring quality for years to come. Since the first patented Ship's Bell left our factory in 1900, it has been held as the standard by which all other Chelsea clocks are measured. This Ship’s Bell 4.5-inch brass clock is mounted on a black wood base. This complements the lacquered finish for a stunning appearance wherever you set it.
