Marine chronometers were essential for navigation and these days they make great desk timepieces.

All our chronometers have been overhauled and sympathetically restored. They are in good working order and have a 12 month guarantee.

Delivery is free in England and Wales and we will be pleased to arrange packing and shipping of any item, to anywhere in the world.

We also have some good books for sale on marine and pocket chronometers and deck watches.

Marine Chronometer Winding Keys

If you don't have a proper key for your chronometer we can supply a ratchet winding key, specially made by our key maker to suit your instrument.

To make a key that fits properly, we either need to have the chronometer or a key which fits the chronometer so that we know the exact size.

This photo shows an orignal key on the left and the new key on the right.

Price: Ask for quote.
