Chelsea's Ship's Bell Clocks and Barometers are the world's finest clocks and barometers, setting the standard for over 100 years. Flawless forged brass case made in USA. The hand made mechanical wind-up clock movement strikes the ship's bells each hour and half hour, using a leather tip hammer striking a coil gong. The accuracy of the Chelsea Ships Bell Clock is regulated by a fine quality jeweled escapement. Five year warranty. The Chelsea Ship's Bell Barometer uses a high precision double bellows aneroid barometric pressure mechanism. The Ship's Bell Barometer matches the Ship's Bell Clock in Design. Chelsea Shipstrike Clocks and barometers are a lower cost, yet high quality alternative to the Ship's Bell models. Chelsea Shipstrike Clocks use the same solid forged brass cases found in the Ship's Bell models. The difference is in the movement. The Chelsea Shipstrike Clock contains a fine German windup mechanical movement which strikes the ship's bells each hour and half hour. These movements are "retro fitted" by Chelsea prior to use. The striking mechanism is a coil gong mounted inside the back of the case. The Shipstrike barometer uses a precision single bellows aneroid barometric pressure mechanism.
