Sestrel Ships Wall Clock, Excellent Condition

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Clockwise is pleased to have for sale this lovely eight day ships clock from the respected Henry Browne, a manufacturer of high quality bulkhead clocks and marine instruments. Dating from circa 1950 this slightly smaller version of a marine clock has a bevelled glass hinged door and both the dial and heavy brass case are in excellent condition; there is the usual fine timing adjustment on the dial but hidden by the bezel door and the original hands and bevelled glass finish off this lovely piece. The high quality movement is fitted with a lever escapement platform and the entire piece has just been fully dismantled, serviced and cleaned. The 14.5 cm diameter dial is in lovely condition and the clock is covered by my three year warranty.

Henry Browne was born in Lewis, Sussex in 1842 and died in Barking in 1935. In c1888 Henry Browne built a factory in Barking to manufacture marine compasses and navigational instruments. The business was so successful that within a few years a bigger factory was built. The common liquid compass was outmoded by the "Sestrel" (the product's brand name) Dead-beat compass, one of the most outstanding improvements in compass design.

This is just one of many ships clocks that I have for sale.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

FAQs

A bulkhead clock is a specialized maritime timepiece designed to be mounted on the vertical walls or bulkheads of marine vessels, engineered to keep precise time despite vessel motion.

These clocks are traditionally constructed from heavy cast brass or bronze to withstand corrosive marine environments, featuring heavy glass lenses and mechanical metal movements.

Authentic Sestrel timepieces feature maker markings identifying Henry Browne & Son Ltd with locations such as Barking & London printed on the dial face, alongside heavy brass casing and latching bezels.

A bulkhead clock serves as a focal point when mounted on a narrow wall, in a home office, or alongside architectural features to add historical interest.

The exterior brass should be dusted with a dry microfibre cloth without aggressive polishes that remove natural surface patina, while the internal mechanical clockwork requires periodic servicing by a horologist.
