SHIP'S BELL CLOCK

Long regarded as Chelsea's signature timepiece, the Ship's Bell is renowned by mariners and collectors world wide.

Available in three sizes: 4.5, 6 and 8.5 inch dials. Forged solid brass case, hinged bezel, deeply etched hand silvered dial. The Ship’s Bell mechanism is hand-crafted here in Chelsea Massachusetts, and consists of 364 brass and gold plated Chelsea-made parts with an 11 jewel clock movement. Strikes the traditional ship’s bell code – one bell for each half hour on a four hour watch.

 

Chelsea clocks and barometers are made of heavy solid brass forgings designed to last for generations. Chelsea uses more brass than any other clock manufacturer in the world. The 6" Ships Bell Clock for example, contains up to seven pounds of solid brass, most of which is the casing, forged (not cast) from a single chunk of metal to provide maximum protection from rust and corrosion. The high quality and volume of brass also accounts for the distinctive bell tone of the Ship's Bell Strike.

DARTMOUTH CLOCK IN BRASS

Fashioned after the Hancock, a vintage model desktop clock Chelsea produced from 1928-1934, the Dartmouth is a contemporary version of the earlier classic. Solid brass case and base, individually hand buffed, polished and lacquered to a flawless tarnish-resistant finish. Precision-made interlocking parts control the swivel style case, featuring hand-silvered brass dial, etched numerals, period European hands and beveled glass. Mounted on a three tiered, felt lined round base. Beautifully designed and crafted to maintain integrity for generations to enjoy, the Dartmouth was recently chosen by the White House to gift diginitaries abroad.

CARBON FIBER NAUTICAL CLOCK

Looking for a more modern rendition of a classic clock? A sophisticated marriage of nautical style and elegant watch design, the Carbon Fiber 12 Hour Clock features a 4.5 inch face, sport hand, a precision etched dial and enameled numerals one through twelve. Durable carbon fiber material adds a unique accent to the clock dial. Forged solid brass, chrome finish. Streamlined sport screw bezel. Mounted on handcrafted black contemporary base.

PATRIOT DECK CLOCK

 

Perfect gift for a Naval veteran! Authentic reproduction of Chelsea Clock’s original WWII era navy engine room deck clock. Found on thousands of navy vessels dating back to the early 1900s. The case is custom made from phenolic, a durable, heat resistant resin designed to last for decades. While brass is the typical material used to make a Chelsea clock, the company turned to phenolic during war time due to the metals shortage.
