FAQs

Ships clocks, often known as bulkhead or marine clocks, were essential navigational instruments used historically to keep accurate time at sea, which was vital for calculating longitude and maintaining shipboard routines like watch systems.

Authentic marine clocks typically feature heavy forged or cast brass cases designed to withstand corrosive saltwater environments, paired with durable glass lenses and white enamel dials featuring clear black numerals.

Authentication involves examining the weight of the brass casing, the maker marks on the dial or movement, the quality of the escapement, and signs of genuine age such as oxidation and patina on the metal.

A brass ships clock serves as a striking focal point when mounted on a panelled study wall, above a mantlepiece, or integrated into a gallery wall alongside other metallic accents and nautical elements.

Maintenance requires regular professional mechanical servicing, gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the historic patina from the brass casing.
