Description
This distinctive, handcrafted timepiece was sold to Chevrolet Dealers Assoc. November 30, 1949. The Claremont Clock signals the passing of time with gentle, rich-sounding chimes – eight bells at 4, 8, and 12 o’clock to mark the end of a mariner’s four-hour watch, with one bell the first half-hour after, plus one additional bell with each subsequent half-hour. Accompanied with the clock is the barometer featuring a curved thermometer. The base of this clock and barometer set has a custom engraving that reads:
BOSTON CHEVROLET DEALERS CLUB
