The Chelsea Pilot Clock

Details:

17.5"H x 14.5"W, 6" dial, 5.5"D

Description:

The Mariner & The Pilot are exact reproductions of the original yacht wheel first patented by Chelsea in 1911. 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.

The metal case is forged from thick brass. The forged brass bezel opens with the original "shield" hinged and latch design. Polished and bronzed finishes are preserved with a clear lacquer coating. The clock's 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. It has over 300 exquisitely polished, gold plated and jeweled precision parts.

The 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.

Each timepiece is engraved with registered limited edition numbers. Each clock is sold separately and is limited to 500 pieces. Five year manufacturer's limited warranty.
