42cm Black Nautical Weather Station With Barometer & Quartz Time & Tide Clock By FISCHER

Maritime Weather Station | 100% German Made

Both traditional and functional, this Nautical Weather Station Set is 100% made in Germany by world-renowned experts Fischer, and helps you to keep an eye on the weather at all times. 

This set features two separate instruments- a barometer on the top, and a quartz time & tide clock on the bottom. Both instruments feature a white dial with easy to read information, protected by a flange bezel in chrome plated brass, each 160mm in diameter, and mineral glass lens with facet cut. These components have been set neatly in a black stained and lacquered timber board that can be easily mounted on the wall.

This maritime weather set has been manufactured with meticulous precision and attention to detail, using robust and high-quality materials that make it not only appealing in looks, but also suitable for real-world applications. It is an excellent gift idea that will keep on giving for many years to come. 

Measurements: Individual instruments: 16cm diameter; timber board: 42cm (h) x 22cm (l)

Components:

Barometer: A barometer is a scientific instrument that measures atmospheric pressure (or barometric pressure). Because the Earth has gravity,  the air molecules in the layers of the atmosphere stack up and exert pressure, with the air density and pressure increasing as the altitude gets lower to sea level. 

Barometers measure the changes in the atmosphere and pressure to determine the weather. A rapid drop in atmospheric pressure means that a low pressure system is nearby, meaning cloudy, windy, rainy, or stormy weather. A rapid increase in atmospheric pressure means the weather is clearing, bringing in cool dry air. The faster the pressure is rising or falling, the faster the weather is predicted to change.

How To Set your Barometer: Simply adjust the small brass screw at the back of the instrument, which turns the black hand to set the barometric pressure for your location. Set a reference point for barometric pressure readings easily with the nut in the centre of the glass lens at the front of your barometer.

Measuring accuracy barometer: ± 2 hPa (suitable up to 3000 feet altitude/900 metres)

Measuring range barometric air pressure: 950 hPa to 1050 hPa

Quartz Time & Tide Clock: This eye-catching time & tide clock houses a highly precise and reliable quartz battery time & tide clock, offering the convenience of being able to keep an eye on the current tidal cycle and the time all from the one instrument. Please note, the tide clock is suitable for most semi diurnal tide zones*.

*Please note, this is a semi diurnal time & tide clock, and it is recommended that you reset a tide clock at the start of each lunar month. Please see this article for more information on how tide clocks work.
