Traditional navigation has always been reliant on precise instruments. Barometers or barographs for measuring air pressure or hygrometers for measuring humidity were important nautical instruments for determining the weather at sea. A chronometer was indispensable for exact time determination when taking a position with the sextant. On sailing yachts and traditional sailing vessels, a mechanical or quartz-driven ship bell clock still indicates the watch times using acoustic signals (bells). Ship's radio room clocks, on the other hand, are ship clocks in a classic design, with radio sectors printed on the dial. The green and red shaded areas denote periods during which radio silence was maintained to facilitate listening for distress calls. Whether made of brass, chrome or in a noble case made of mahogany, these nautical antiquities are characterized by timeless elegance and are not only suitable for use on board or in the cabin but also serve as elegant, maritime furnishings in offices and apartments. The Toplicht product range provides a large selection of nautical instruments, inclinometers and mechanical and battery-operated ship or boat clocks.
