The origin of the ships bell clock, comes from the 4 hour "watch" that a sailor would undertake. Every half hour the sailor would strike a bell to indicate that all is well. The number of bells also tells you the time. The first watch starts at midnight, so at 1.30am the clock will chime 3 bells, at 4am at the end of the first watch, it will chime 8 bells. ie it chimes and adds 1 bell every half hour. You only have to count the bells to know exactly what the time is.
Background designs - the plain clock is shown above, but you can ask for a background design relevant to your location. eg Sydney, Whitsundays. If you do not specify that you want a relevant location in the background, you will get a plain clock. There is no extra charge for using any of our standard location backgrounds. We can also put on a logo or dedication for a small extra charge.
