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.
