ZENITH - Marine Clock or 8 days Clock

Hi Watch Collectors,

Found this piece on a Vintage Shop, it is a nice marine timekeeper piece or chronometer that is used as a standard portable time to tells its location until the modern era with high tech equipment such as GPS that eventually replaces them.

In Switzerland, only timepieces certified and tested by the COSC and meet certain precision standards may display the word 'Chronometer.'

The brand ZENITH has been around pre-1945 and unlike the many modern brands that are post 1945.

Here are some pictures:





Hope you like it as much as I do. I do collect vintage table clocks are other clocks as well. Especially the French ones.
