Description
A late 20th-century brass wall clock of nautical design, constructed in the form of an eight-spoke ship’s wheel. The central circular housing features a silvered metal dial with black Arabic numerals for 1-12 and secondary smaller red Arabic numerals for 24-hour time (13-24). The dial includes an outer minute track with numeric indicators at five-minute intervals. It is fitted with black spade-shaped hour and minute hands and a slender orange sweep second hand. The dial is printed with the words SHIP’S TIME below the 12 o’clock position and features a small circular logo depicting a ship’s wheel above the word QUARTZ at the 6 o’clock position. The design is in the style of the Helmsman model produced by Seth Thomas. The reverse brass backplate is fitted with three pre-drilled holes for wall mounting and bears handwritten inscriptions in black marker reading 3.6.95 and 9.8.2000-. The clock is powered by a quartz movement.
