Quartz Ship's Clocks

Choosing a quartz ship's clock

When selecting a quartz ship's clock, consider the mounting location, casing material, dial size, and movement type. Quartz movements offer exceptional accuracy with minimal maintenance, making them an ideal choice for both active seafaring vessels and residential interiors. Matching the case diameter to your space is essential: compact instruments like the 140 mm Schatz 1881 Fyrkat fit snugly in smaller cabins, whereas larger instruments like the Schatz 1881 Royal 180 Quartz Ship's Clock Roman Brass create an authoritative focal point in spacious saloons.

Material selection defines the character of your instrument. Polished brass provides a timeless nautical look, while chrome-plated brass and stainless steel suit modern helm stations and contemporary interiors. You can choose between classic Roman numerals or highly legible Arabic dials. Many models feature standard silent timekeeping, while specialized maritime models include a traditional ship's bell strike that sounds the half-hour watch pattern.

Care, delivery and warranty

To preserve the finish of lacquered brass or chrome casings, wipe them regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal polishes, as these can wear away protective lacquers. We recommend replacing the battery annually with a fresh, high-quality alkaline cell to prevent leakage and guarantee continuous accuracy.
