Nauticalia offers timeless designs with high-quality materials and attention to detail. Our stocked range includes:
- Chatham Range (quickfix clocks and barometers in polished brass – convenient quick-mount system, elegant bezels, quartz movements for precise timekeeping, and aneroid barometers for reliable pressure/weather forecasting)
- Fitzroy Range (clocks and barometers in polished brass and chrome – sophisticated traditional styling, bevelled glass, silent quartz clocks (including tide options), and accurate aneroid barometers with adjustment mechanisms)
- Historical Reproductions (vintage-style ornamental pieces: solid brass compasses (domed paperweights, tribute models), sextants (vernier replicas), armillary spheres (celestial models), and portable sundials (with adjustable gnomons and compass bases) – fully functional yet primarily intended as beautiful display items, collector’s pieces, or nautical decor)
These instruments feature solid brass construction (with natural patina development), chrome options for modern shine, and classic nautical aesthetics perfect for bulkhead/wall mounting or as standout gifts.
