Schatz - Weather station (2) - ship's clock & barometer, brass and glass, near mint condition

Founded in the 1850s, Schatz was the leading manufacturer of classic ship’s instruments, making fine mechanical chiming movements, before closing in 1985.

This set comprises fine examples of the top-of-the-range Schatz Royal Mariner clock and matching Schatz barometer, fully functional and showing fine workmanship. The clock has two eight-day mechanical movements for clock and chimes. The clock strikes the ship's bell 4-hour-watch-sequence marked by progressive cycles up to eight-bells, struck at 30-minute intervals. The clock-hammer will be stabilized for transport (see photos #24-26 - turn screw on back).
The white faces are in good condition; the clock face shows light marking around the winding holes. The clock and barometer have lacquered brass-housings, that are in fine condition with only minimal patina (see photos). There are no cracks, dents or major blemishes. The doors are secured by brass scuttle clamps. The facet-cut glass ports are clean and intact. Regulate time on the clock using lever at XII. A winding key s included.

The barometer is calibrated in millibars and inches (mercury units), adjustment (e.g. after transport) from rear. There is a fine capillary thermometer (Celsius/Fahrenheit).

A great opportunity to own a set of these superb instruments in excellent condition - use at home, in the office or on-board ship.

I always pack with great care (see reviews) and send securely with insurance.
