Ship's clocks for maritime flair

The Hermle brand is a special pioneer in the field of ship clocks. Nowadays, most ship watches are searched directly in connection with an international search query for Hermle ship watches, as the high-quality workmanship precedes the brand's reputation far beyond the country's borders.

The special position of the ship's clocks derives from the possibilities that these timepieces offered to sailors. For example, ship's clocks not only reliably measure the time, but also display important data for seafaring via such indispensable measuring instruments as the barometer (measurement of air pressure) and the thermometer.

Even the first models in this category had an important function, the determination of geometric length. This made it possible for the first time to determine the longitude very precisely and thus to determine the position on the high seas very precisely. Longitude was determined by accurately measuring the current time at a certain point (the longitude of which is known), and this value was compared at a second point (the longitude of which had to be determined) by reading the current time of day from the chronometer and calculating the longitude of the second position. If you now determine a time difference of four minutes, the longitude is changed by exactly one degree.

In order to meet the demands of a watch suitable for ships, the Hermle ship clocks have been made of particularly high-quality materials. Many are made of brass or partly of fine woods.
