CRAFTSMANSHIP FROM BARCELONA
Precision and tradition, crafted in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Autonautic Instrumental combines over fifty years of experience with a keen eye for detail. Every compass, ship's clock, and weather station is crafted from high-quality materials such as brass, stainless steel, and aluminum with a finish that is equally at home on a wall as it is on board a sailing yacht.
The instruments are available in chrome, gold, matte black, and brass, with white or colored dials and Arabic or Roman numerals. Functional in every detail, beautiful enough to show off.
