CHELSEA 24 HOUR MILITARY CLOCK Boston, Massachusetts / USA (1940) ******************************************************************* This bakelite clock has a 24 HOUR FACE: The short HOUR HAND has to be read first ( 00 .. 23 ); the long MINUTE HAND & the SECOND HAND read as usual. The clock has no chime. It was made in WWII for the US GOVERNMENT. FULL WIND-UP it runs more than 2 WEEKS! The SPECIAL WINDER has a stylus on the other end for the "AdjustmentWheel" in the (+/-)Window ... A 2nd MODEL ( SN = 84807E ) was made for the U.S. NAVY ... Now my friend on the other side of the globe uses the "US-GOV." as "BERLIN"-Time - And me, the 2nd "US-NAVY", in Berlin as "SFO"-Time. Both we prevent so telephone calls in the partner's sleeping time.
