Captain’s Clock on Tripod | Online8 New Zealand

A small brass clock mounted on a timber tripod stand, 320mm tall overall. The tripod is what makes it: it borrows the form of a surveyor’s or navigator’s instrument, so the piece reads as equipment rather than ornament, and the clock face itself is only 100mm by 120mm within a stand that gives it presence. Handcrafted in India.

Why It Stands Apart

• Tripod instrument form. Borrowed from surveying and navigation equipment, which gives a small clock the character of a working instrument.
• Real brass and timber. Genuine materials rather than plated or printed imitations, so it ages properly.
• Handcrafted in India. Made by hand, so small variations between pieces are part of the character.
• Compact overall. At 320mm tall on a 200mm footprint it works on a desk, shelf or console without dominating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does it sit best?
It is a freestanding desk and shelf piece rather than a wall clock, and it rewards a spot where the tripod detail can be seen properly.

Is the tripod adjustable?
The record does not specify whether the legs adjust. Call our showroom on 09 278 8881 to confirm before ordering if that matters to you.

How should the brass be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Real brass will develop a patina over time, which most people prefer to leave. Metal polish will remove it if you would rather keep it bright.

How is it delivered?
We ship nationwide. Shipping charges are available at checkout.
