This beautiful piece of art came actually off a ship. Is in perfect working conditions and has all the features a marine chronometer should have: two-metal balance for temperature variations, variable diameter unwinding construction for a constant pulling force, 54 hours run time, etc. I made a career in the Merchant Marine up to Master on large vessels and I dealt with such chronometers for the best part of my sea life, until they were replaced by quartz models, and then also those became obsolete due to modern satellite navigation.
