Ship’s Clocks

Ship's clocks were different from normal clocks in a few ways. First of all, they had to be much smaller because there was not as much room on a ship as there was in a house or in a store. Second, the clocks needed to be built so that they were portable. The tossing and turning done on a boat would have rendered normal pendulum driven clocks basically worthless, because the clock would never be level and would constantly be changing altitudes. Third, the clocks needed to be functional and practical, now showy or complicated. They needed to be easier to read, work well, and needed to be reliable. So, making ship's clocks was a challenge to any clock making factory, but for the clockmakers who made good ones it paid off. By the time of the early 1900s, every ship and/or boat needed a clock. That was a lot of clock sales for the ones with competitive prices.
