A seaman setting out to sea leaving England would be equipped with his watch in his pocket. This paper weight that sits atop ones desk emulates a Victorian London watch- a classic antique heirloom from the 1800's. Double-sided with a roman numeral clock on one side and a compass on the other. Made out of aluminum with a bright annealed finish. Clock uses one AA1.5V battery (battery not included). Battery is inserted my unscrewing the compass side.
