The metal base of the original Chelsea model is forged from thick
brass plated in thick chromium. The forged bezel opens with a hinge and latch design. The polished finish is majestic
in its presentation. The clock's face is deeply etched brass, silvered, enameled and lacquered. A lacquered Mahogany
wood base is included at no extra cost adds a further elegant touch. Inside, the famous Chelsea Ship's Bell precision
wind-up mechanical timekeeping movement chimes the ship's bells on the hour and half hour. 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.
CONDITION: Considering it age, and years
of use it is hard to tell this clock from new except for a few tiny scratches around the case's center mounting
hole. And the heart of the clock, works in perfect unison with a quartz watch used for comparison. There is nothing like
the resonant ringing of a ship's bell from this design.
