The Chronometer is a nautical desk clock, 7 inches wide, with a captain's alarm clock in polished brass set inside an octagonal hardwood chest in a Rosewood Hall finish. The clock swivels to the angle you want, and the white dial carries black Arabic numerals and hands with a red second hand under a convex glass crystal. An octagon plate in the lid and a loose plate in the carton are included for engraving. Quartz alarm movement runs on one AA battery.
