Notes
This rare chronometer is a multi scale instrument for time measurement: the engraved ''zero'' on the bezel can be positioned to the minute hand and measure a time of up to 15 minutes.
The Pivoted disc in the auxiliary seconds can be set to the seconds hands by an external screw. We know of of no other marine chronometer of the kind.
