This distinctive, handcrafted timepiece was sold to Tildon-Thurber Company on April 18, 1919. The House Strike clock 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.  Accompanied by the clock is the matching barometer, which has been recalibrated. Both clock and barometer movements were overhauled, red brass cases were refinished and dials re-silvered

Customer Testimonials

★★★★★

"I just opened my father's brand new Chelsea boardroom clock and WOW! It is absolutely exquisite. The engraving is beautiful and the clock itself is a work of art."

"I was thrilled to discover that Chelsea Clock Company is still in business making and servicing their clocks for over 120 years. I was able to have my 1906 Ship’s Bell clock’s movement cleaned and a new coat of lacquer applied to the brass case. The craftsmanship is exemplary, suitable for something you’d expect to see on display in a museum collection."

"I recently ordered 2 clocks with engravings as leaving presents for 2 colleagues. The office was excellent in working with us in formatting the text to fit the clocks, and accommodating our short timeline. The clocks looked beautiful and loved by the recipients."
