The stunning Comitti ‘Navigator’ Clock is based closely on the world’s first reliable marine chronometer which was created by the world famous clock maker John Harrison (1693-1776). Harrison's famous 'grasshopper' escapement invention enabled mariners, for the first time, to calculate longitude and therefore to chart their position on the map more accurately.
For this special limited edition, Comitti of London has worked with fine artist David Galbraith, featuring four truly historic British ships. The panels show Admiral Horatio Nelson flagship HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Lieutenant James Cook ship HMS Endeavour on a voyage of discovery to Australia and New Zealand in 1770, HMS Beagle commanded by Captain Fitzroy undertaking hydrographic surveys and accompanied by Charles Darwin the famous naturalist between 1826 to 1843 and the Cutty Sark the record-breaking tea clipper launched in 1869
A limited edition of 100 pieces worldwide. Each piece is numbered and signed by the artist.
