Frequently Asked Questions

Ten tips for choosing your perfect ship's clock

Want to keep track of time on board in style? Follow these handy tips to find the ideal ship's clock, perfect for your needs and space.

1. Location is key.
Measure the space where the clock will be installed and check if there is room for additional gadgets such as a barometer or weather station.

2. Note the diameter.
The clock size ranges from 72mm to 270mm – choose the size that suits your space.

3. Size of the dial.
A larger clock face makes the clock easier to read, so choose a size that suits you. This also depends on the available space in your cabin or living room. And consider carefully whether you want to hang a matching nautical instrument.

4. Functionality.
Do you want just the time or also extras such as tides, a silent clock or a ship's bell?

5. Choose your scale.
Arabic or Roman numerals, or a unique dial such as the Corum flags from the Wempe Regatta series.

6. Quartz or mechanical clock?
Quartz is convenient with a battery, while mechanical clocks are hand-wound – a classic for craftsmanship!

7. Your style.
Porthole, closed watch, or a sporty limited edition? White or black dial? Casing color? Choose what best complements your boat or nautical style. It's a sustainable choice, so it should be well worth the investment.

8. Material and weight.
Brass, stainless steel, aluminium or even carbon fibre – the material determines not only the look, but also the weight.

A ship's clock is an essential timekeeping instrument on board, not only for keeping time but also for navigation and tides. It helps you calculate arrival times and manage wait times on board. Furthermore, the ship's clock is a stylish addition to your vessel, clearly visible from various angles. Usually made of brass, chrome-plated brass, or stainless steel, these materials are resistant to corrosion and the humid conditions at sea.

Ship clocks are specifically designed for the maritime environment and are therefore robust and resistant to the elements at sea, such as shocks. They feature a nautical design, such as a classic ship style or a mechanical winding system. In addition, ship clocks offer features such as tide or dual time zones, which are not usually found in conventional clocks. Conventional clocks are more often designed for home or office use and are less resistant to the harsh conditions at sea. The main differences, therefore, lie in the materials, design, and functionality.

Some ship's clocks come with screws so you can hang them directly in the pre-drilled holes. Other brands offer a convenient wall-mounting system: first attach the wall mount with screws and then simply hang the ship's clock over it. This system makes adjusting the time, such as for time zones, tides, or daylight saving time, much easier.

There are several types of mechanisms, two of which we offer at Studio Maritime. A mechanical movement, which works with a winding system, is typical for classic ship clocks and traditional clocks. It requires manual winding, usually every 7-8 days. A quartz movement, on the other hand, requires batteries, is highly accurate, and requires little maintenance.

A glass-striking clock is a traditional ship's clock with a ship's bell. The bells of this clock follow the traditional schedule of ship watches, which last four hours and are divided into eight.
Half hours. Each half hour is indicated by one additional bell, increasing from one bell
after the first half hour until eight, after four o'clock the watch ends. So
crew members can tell how far their watch has progressed by the number of bells
is, without having to look at a clock, since four bells, for example
Two hours after the start of a watch. A clock striking the glass is available with a mechanical (with a winding key) or quartz movement (battery-operated).

A tide clock follows the lunar cycle and shows the moment of high or low tide. The needle at the top indicates high tide.
The pointer at the bottom indicates low tide. The pointer moves continuously so you can see
whether the water rises or falls.

The unique radio room ship's clock, with its iconic green and red silent sectors, takes you back to the days of early maritime radio and telegraphy communications. The clock has colored sectors that indicate when Morse code (red sectors) or radio telegraphy (green sectors) is active. It was used to synchronize communication time, so radio operators knew when to listen or transmit. Today, the ship's clock with silent sectors, also known as a radio room, is a valuable collector's item for maritime history enthusiasts. A unique tribute to early maritime technology, it deserves a valuable place in your collection.
