Clock and marine barometer

Barometer, clock and thermometer

Many models of barometers exist which can vary in size, material (brass, chrome, stainless steel, plastic, etc.) and type of clock (standard or electronic). A barometer is a measuring instrument whose function is to measure the atmospheric pressure in details and thus predict the weather.

A barometer can integrate a clock or even a thermometer, it will depend on the model.

You can buy a thermometer, a barometer and a clock separately, or all in one barometer. A barometer or clock can be made of several materials. The most common are brass and chrome.

Use of the barometer: When a depression approaches, a drop in air pressure is expected over a period of 3 to 12 hours. The time of variation will give an indication of the intensity of the disturbance. If you don't have an electronic weather station, or if you prefer to make short term and local forecasts, the barometer will be your ideal companion.

Which barometer to choose, brass or chrome ?

The prices of the barometers can be quite variable. On our site we have created a selection of plastimo barometers with prices that do not vary too much depending on the model. These are very good barometers made in France, the first price is 3" brass opening barometer. This product is a solid brass barometer with a high sensitivity aneroid mechanism. Its opening case can be, in addition to a measuring instrument, a very nice decoration for your boat. It has a diameter of 3 inches. The delivery time for this product is very short, 4 to 6 days.

In the same range for a larger diameter (4,5"), we propose you the 4" brass barometer Plastimo. It has, like the previous one, a solid brass case and is made in France.

If you prefer a chrome barometer, the 4" chrome barometer Plastimo is made for you. Its chrome case, not brass, gives a very clean look to your boat and can be fixed on any surface, wood or plastic. It has an aneroid mechanism that will give a very accurate indication of air pressure, and therefore weather.

Looking for a weather station or a clock?

Each barometer model presented above exists in a clock version, with the same dimensions and the same material. You can combine a barometer and a clock of the same style if you wish. You can choose between brass or chrome clocks.

For a room containing both instruments at the same time, the3" barometer watch set will suit you perfectly. Mounted on a wooden base, you will have both a clock and an aneroid barometer for accurate pressure measurement.

For weather stations, the best product is probably the Plastimo meteorologist. This tool is in fact 4 instruments. It contains in the same case a clock (quartz watch), a barometer, a hygrometer and a thermometer. You will be able to see the current weather and predict the weather to follow. Every good sailor should know how to use this kind of tool which will help you in many occasions while sailing. The proposed price of 265€ is quite reasonable given the precision of the instrument and its 4 onboard instruments. The delivery of this station will be done in about 1 week.
