• Dust the ship's bell with a microfiber cloth to remove dirt without damaging the protective alloy.
• Remove the battery during long-term storage, such as in winter.
• Hang or store the ship's bell in a dry place to prevent moisture and corrosion damage.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or polishes, which may damage the protective layer and/or cause corrosion.
• Is the ship's bell with ship's bell moisture resistant?
To protect the mechanism and casing of the ship's bell, also known as a glass-striking clock, we recommend keeping it out of damp environments as much as possible. A cabin or a dry spot in your home are ideal locations, perfect for adding a maritime feel to your interior.
• How do I wind a mechanical ship's clock with ship's bell?
To wind a mechanical ship's clock with a bell, use the winding key and slowly turn both windings (one for the time display and one for the bell mechanism) clockwise. Stop as soon as you feel slight resistance to avoid overloading the mechanism. Do this preferably weekly at a fixed time to keep the clock running smoothly and regularly.
• What do the bells of a ship's bell ringing mean?
The bells on a ship's bell follow the traditional schedule of watches, which last four hours and are divided into eight half-hour periods. Each half-hour is marked by one additional bell, increasing from one bell after the first half-hour to eight bells after four o'clock, which marks the end of the watch. This allows crew members to determine the progress of their watch by the number of bells without having to look at a clock—since four bells, for example, indicates two hours after the start of a watch.
• Is a ship's bell durable and does it last a long time?
Yes, the ship's clock is made of durable brass, known for its strength and longevity. The high-gloss polished and lacquered finish also protects the clock against rust and corrosion, contributing to its durability.
• Is there a warranty on the ship's clock?
Yes, when you purchase a Wempe ship's clock, you receive a three-year international warranty. This warranty covers damage or defects not caused by external influences or improper use, including problems with functionality and the clockwork.
