Nauticalia

Schatz, founded in 1881, are the world's leading manufacturer of classic ship's clocks, barometers and associated instruments. They are particularly renowned for their eight-day mechanical chiming movements, and have supplied both commercial and naval fleets for many years. Cases are a combination of machined solid brass castings, pressings and spinnings, heavily stove-lacquered for a lasting finish. The white faces, with black hands and Roman numerals, are viewed through a substantial glass opening port with a brass cleat fixing. This allows access to the movements for winding, battery changeover or adjustment without removal from the bulkhead. Swiss made.

 

The Midi Mariner Range is specifically aimed at smaller vessels, where our other ranges would look oversized in relation to other cabin furnishings, but where top quality is still required.

 

MIDI MARINER CLOCK , mechanical (5030) - Ship's Bell chiming clock with mechanical movement.

 

MIDI OCEAN CLOCK , quartz (5031) - Uses one AA battery (see ref 93195 below) 

 

MIDI BAROMETER (5033) - calibrated in millibars (metric units of pressure) and millimetres (mercury units of pressure).

 

MIDI HYGROMETER & THERMOMETER (5034) - reads relative humidity as a percentage (of the moisture that surrounding air would contain if it were fully saturated) and temperature in degrees Celsius (centigrade).

 

MIDI OCEAN TIDE CLOCK , quartz (5017) - These provide an "at-a-glance" indication of tidal state by means of the blue hand, showing high, low and half-tide. They work by following the lunar cycle - approx 12.5hrs - thus reflecting the main influence on the tides. Quartz movement using one AA battery (see ref 93195 below).

 

Measurements for all are: case diameter 6", clock face diameter 4", depth 3".
