AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This double-dial clock, made of heavy brass or bronze, makes an impression with its presence and the solidity of its construction. At 29 centimeters tall and wide, it is not a simple desk accessory: it is a robust piece, designed to stand out and to convey the rugged aesthetics of traditional nautical instruments.

The metal body, with rounded lines and balanced proportions, shows that warm shine typical of aged brass, where the patina adds depth and character without sacrificing elegance. The structure recalls the bridge or engine-room instruments of classic ships, where reliability and legibility were essential.

Each of the dials features a design inspired by marine horology: clear numerals, well-defined markers, and a graphic style that evokes the navigation and control instruments used aboard. In one view you can see the typical arrangement of a 24-hour clock, while the other reproduces the look of telegraph order indicators, reinforcing the sense of an object that combines function and historical evocation.

The whole rests on a firm, well-proportioned base that balances the weight of the metal and ensures stability. The piece, in its entirety, conveys the perfect blend between technical utility and decorative presence, typical of nautical objects with classic inspiration: solid, precise, and with a maritime-adventure air that makes them irresistible to collectors and lovers of naval style.

Certified shipping and careful packing.
