These clocks strike the ship’s bell strike sequence and run 8 days on a winding. See our ship's bell clocks for sale page for how the ship's bell sequence works.

Seth Thomas “Helmsman”

The back of the case is labeled: Cat. 1008, Helmsman-W, Model E537-001, Seth Thomas, Div. of General Time Corp., Thomaston, Conn., U.S.A. The bottom of the dial is labeled: Made in Germany. This model was made from about the 1960’s to the 1980’s. It has a brass case, an engraved, silvered dial, a screw-on bezel, and uses a movement made in Germany by Hermle.
