A Rare and Original WW2 Third Reich Kriegsmarine (War Navy) Wall Clock
It is highly probable this clock would have adorned the wall of a German ship’s wardroom. This is where the ship’s officers would gather at mealtimes and during any brief periods of relaxation.
Ship’s clocks served as general time displays on board and were not normally used for navigational purposes. Time indication signals were received on a daily basis which was then compared to the time shown on the radio stations clock. Any deviation was rectified and duly noted in a journal.
The Kriegsmarine clock for sale is housed in an octangular Junghans wooden case with a brushed steel dial with Arabic numerals and an outer chapter ring with twenty-four-hour markers.
The hour and minute hands are made of blackened steel above which there is a subsidiary seconds dial with sweeping hand.
The dial is printed with a small eagle and swastika with the letter ‘M’ below.
The clock has a rounded circular glass-panelled hinged door with white metal edging.
The Third Reich Kriegsmarine clock offered for sale comes complete with winding key (replacement) and a free six-month warranty.
