Chronometers

Some clocks tick. This one tells stories. The Weems & Plath Gimbal Box Clock 701100 pays tribute to the classic marine chronometers trusted by generations of sailors. Crafted from solid forged brass, it's something you can see and feel. Inside, a reliable German quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping. At the heart of this clock is a traditional polished brass gimbal with a locking arm. Thanks to this clever system, the clock always remains perfectly horizontal, even when the surface shifts. The center of gravity remains below the suspension point, ensuring smoothness and stability. Functionality with a historic touch.

The clock rests in a square, solid wood box with a warm mahogany finish and polished brass fittings. A combination that fits effortlessly into a nautical interior, a classic office, or a modern living space with character. As icing on the cake, this clock comes with a battery and a lifetime warranty, and includes a plate for personalization. That is craftsmanship.

A marine chronometer has traditionally been the most trusted instrument on board, the clock on which navigators staked their lives. Fischer brings that tradition indoors: a quartz movement in a mahogany-coloured wooden case with a glass viewing window, 160 mm wide and built to stand out. The authentic design directly references the ship's chronometers of great navigation, but requires no mechanical maintenance. Mahogany, glass and brass materials: they give a quartz movement the weight it deserves. In beautiful packaging.

This chronometer is gimbal-mounted in a beechwood box with a mahogany finish measuring 192 x 192 x 185 mm, with 18-karat gold-plated brass on all metal parts. The quartz movement comes from the German manufacturer U.T.S. and runs with a deviation of less than 1 second per day. The dial features Roman numerals and a second hand, behind 5 mm thick crystal glass with beveled edges.

This marine chronometer is a gold-plated brass clock with Roman numerals and a second hand, set on an inclined bed in a beechwood box with a mahogany finish measuring 200 x 200 x 85 mm. The lid features a clear panel, allowing the clock to be read whether open or closed. Technically not a classic chronometer, but a high-end quartz movement with a deviation of less than 1 second per day.

The Wempe unified chronometer is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and precision, an investment in timeless quality and refined engineering. For more than 75 years, this mechanical instrument has been handcrafted according to the highest WEMPE standards, proudly bearing the “Made by Wempe” label. With dimensions of 200 x 200 x 210 mm, the piece radiates classic elegance. The housing is made of wood with a piano lacquer finish, while the polished brass gimbal mounting ensures stability and balance on any water.

The unique design, where the movement rests on just three pillars, makes this chronometer not only a technical marvel but also a true art object. The white dial with brass details and the transparent plexiglass casing provide a full view of the Caliber 5 movement, which offers an impressive power reserve of 56 hours.

A "56-hour power reserve" means that the movement, once fully wound, can run continuously and accurately for a period of 56 hours before it needs to be wound again. The Caliber 5 movement is a specific mechanical movement design by WEMPE, representing the unique configuration and high-quality components of this internal mechanism.

This exclusive mechanical masterpiece combines the tradition of maritime timekeeping with a modern, refined aesthetic and forms a unique addition to any high-end nautical setting. It is a collector's item, an object of art, with a price tag that reflects this value. In return, you receive a work of art from jewelry manufacturer Wempe.
