The brass case houses a clean white dial with bold black Roman numerals, crisp minute markers and slim black hands that read with absolute clarity. The faux brass bezel completes the traditional ship's clock aesthetic — the combination of warm tones and polished chrome is a pairing with centuries of nautical precedent behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 21cm (8¼ inches) overall diameter with a 12.5cm (5 inch) dial face, this is a well-proportioned and nicely scaled piece — large enough to make a genuine presence on the wall without dominating a room. Quartz battery movement, fully working. Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetamec — The Pride of Dereham, Norfolk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetamec were one of Britain's most respected clock manufacturers, founded in Dereham, Norfolk in 1947 and producing clocks for British homes and export markets for nearly four decades until their closure in 1984. Their ship's clock range drew on the long British tradition of nautical timekeeping — the bulkhead clock, mounted on a circular backboard, is a form with roots stretching back to the age of sail. Metamec produced their version with the quality and care they brought to every piece that left the Dereham factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship's clock aesthetic has never dated — it works in a hallway, a study, a kitchen, a man cave, a workshop or a boat with equal authority. This example is clean, working and ready to go straight on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetamec, Dereham, Norfolk — Made in England --Model 4685\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaux brass bulkhead body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBezel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaux brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircular faux mahogany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite with black Roman numerals and minute markers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuartz battery — working\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8¼ inches (21 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 inches (12.5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShip's bulkhead, nautical, traditional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition.
