Originating from Triberg in the German Black Forest where the company was founded in 1881, Schatz 1881 has built a worldwide reputation for legendary maritime timepieces and meteorological instruments. Known particularly for classic mechanical eight-day ship's bell movements, the brand continues its traditional craftsmanship today under Delite. When you choose a Schatz 1881 instrument, you invest in enduring nautical heritage engineered to perform reliably on board or at home.
What Schatz 1881 makes
Our curated selection of 59 Schatz 1881 instruments spans the brand's renowned ranges, catering to both classic mariners and modern interior enthusiasts. You will find iconic series such as the compact Fyrkat and the versatile Midi.
For traditionalists who value mechanical engineering, the Schatz 1881 Midi Mechanical Ship's Bell Clock Roman Polished Brass features an intricate 11-jewel movement that strikes the maritime bells across every four-hour watch. If you prefer low-maintenance quartz accuracy, choices like the Schatz 1881 Fyrkat Quartz Ship's Clock Arabic Chrome Brass or the Schatz 1881 Midi Quartz Ship's Bell Clock Roman Chrome-Plated Brass provide silent precision without winding.
To track atmospheric conditions, Schatz offers highly responsive barometers and environmental meters. The Schatz 1881 Fyrkat Barometer Hi-Sensitiv Chrome-Plated Brass and the Schatz 1881 Midi Hi-Sensitiv Barometer Thermometer Brass use sensitive aneroid mechanisms to forecast subtle weather shifts well in advance. For coastal navigation, instruments such as the Schatz 1881 Midi Time and Tide Clock Arabic Brass display both the time and tide state on a single dial, while the Schatz 1881 Midi Comfortmeter Polished Brass helps maintain optimal cabin conditions.
Choosing a Schatz 1881 instrument
Selecting the right instrument depends on your available wall space, aesthetic preferences, and practical needs:
- Sizing: The Fyrkat collection features a compact 140 mm flange diameter, ideal for smaller cabins, wheelhouses, or cozy living rooms. The Midi series, measuring 155 mm across, offers high legibility across larger saloons and study walls.
- Finishes: Choose warm, polished solid brass for a traditional, classic nautical look, or mirror-finished chrome-plated brass to complement modern yacht interiors and contemporary home spaces.
- Movements: Decide between a traditional eight-day mechanical movement—celebrated for its authentic chime and mechanical craftsmanship—and precise quartz movements, available with or without a striking bell function.
- Dial Styles: Select crisp white dials featuring traditional Roman numerals for classic elegance or clear Arabic numerals for quick readability at a glance.
