The Ship's Bell- 6" Dial Chelsea's signature timepiece in forged brass and mahogany. They began making the Ship's Bell Clock over one hundred years ago – before the age of machines – when the art and craft of fine mechanical clockmaking reached its zenith. Some of the finest timepieces the world has ever seen were created in Europe and America at that time. Among today's treasured antiques are early models of The Chelsea Ship's Bell Clock. Remarkably, you can still acquire the original. Very little has changed in the way the Ship's Bell Clock is made today. Computerized machines may shape some of the hundreds of precision movement parts but the greatest value comes from changes that haven't been made. The clock's original balance wheel movement is unchanged... it cannot be improved upon. It is the finest wind-up mechanical striking movement in the world. The hand-silvering process used to create the clock's beautiful face was developed by Chelsea in the 19th century when silver graced every table. Indeed, the Chelsea Ship's Bell Clock has achieved its pre-eminent status today because to "improve" it means to preserve its original integrity. The clock's classical design evokes the romance of the sea – the universal love of the limitless ocean. Its distinctive striking tones are warm yet command attention. Admired around the world, this masterpiece of the clockmaker's art becomes the focal point in any room. The 6" dial clock (pictured on the right) can be purchased alone for wall mounting or, if purchased with a base, it can be removed from the base for wall mounting.
