6" ANNIV.BRASS BAROMETER

Seventy-five years ago Captain Philip Van Horn Weems (USNR) founded this Company with a single purpose in mind: to improve sea air and space navigation methods and safety. The precise measurement of time has been central to the progress of navigation throughout navigation history. To commemorate the 75 years of rich heritage of Weems & Plath that is closely linked to this man who strove to perfect the field of navigation we are pleased to offer our elegant Anniversary Collection of ship s clocks and barometers. Each piece in this series is created from solid forged brass that is hand polished and lacquered. The collection includes the finest German movements dials hands and components available in the world. The distinctive dial of each instrument is intricately etched to create a subtle but rich pattern. Each instrument is labeled with a unique serial number and is provided with complete instructions mounting hardware and a fresh battery as required. This barometer houses a highly reliable and accurate double diaphragm German aneroid movement that is visible through the open dial. It displays both of the barometric scales; inches of mercury and millibars. The movement is temperature compensated and calibrated for altitudes up to 3500 feet above sea level. Dial: 5-1/4" Base: 7" Depth: 3-1/2".
