Schatz, founded in 1881, are the world?s leading manufacturer of classic ship?s clocks, barometers and associated instruments. They are particularly renowned for their eight-day mechanical chiming movements, and have supplied both commercial and naval fleets for many years. Cases are a combination ofmachined solid brass castings, pressings and spinnings, heavily stove-lacquered for a lasting finish. The whitefaces, with black hands and Roman numerals, are viewed through a substantial glass opening port with abrass cleat fixing. This allows access to the movements for winding, battery changeover or adjustmentwithout removal from the bulkhead. Swiss made. THE MIDI MARINER RANGE - is specifically aimed at smaller vessels, where our other ranges would look oversized in relation to other cabin furnishings, but where top quality is still required.

MIDI BAROMETER - (left of the two smaller images) calibrated in millbars (metric units of pressure) and millimetres (mercury units of pressure). MIDI HYGROMETER & THERMOMETER - reads relative humidity as a percentage (of the moisture that surrounding air would contain if it were fully saturated) and temperature in degrees Celsius (centigrade).
