eBay Created to celebrate Chelsea Clock’s 100th year of fine American clock making, the Centennial features a handsome forged solid brass case and hinged bezel-set atop a hand-finished American walnut and brass base. The clock's 6” silvered brass dial features elegant gold-plated numerals and an intricate gold-plated reveal centerpiece. The precision wind-up Chelsea movement chimes the traditional Ship’s Bell code. Each Centennial is individually numbered and registered in Chelsea’s manufacturing log book.This distinctive, handcrafted timepiece signals the passing of time with gentle, rich-sounding chimes – eight bells at 4, 8 and 12 o’clock to mark the end of a mariner’s four-hour watch, with one bell the first half-hour after, plus one additional bell with each subsequent half-hour. Behind its classic, hand-silvered dial, 364 precision brass parts and 11 jewel movements, all of which are made in Chelsea, Massachusetts, ensure accuracy in time and enduring quality for years to come. Since the first patented Ship’s Bell left our factory in 1900, it has been held as the standard by which all other Chelsea clocks are measured. (From Manufacturer's website)I purchased this clock from Shreve in Palo Alto, CA in November, 1998. Clock # 0553 of the Centennial Edition series. Clock is in good working order. Included: original instruction booklet and key. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
