Mariners have used a unique bell code to tell time at sea for hundreds of years. The code is based on the crews typical workday routine while the vessel is underway. Therefore, the day is divided into six four-hour periods that are each called a watch.

Similarly, the crew is broken up into three divisions. First Watch: 8:00 p. Mid-Watch/Black Watch: 12:00 a. Morning Watch: 4:00 a. Forenoon Watch: 8:00 a.

Afternoon Watch: 12:00 p. Evening Watch: 4:00 p. To rotate each divisions watch times, the Evening Watch is periodically divided into two watches. These are called Dog Watches because they dog the watch schedule for all divisions ahead by one watch period. The watch officer struck the ships bell every half-hour to apprise the crew of the time.

A single bell denoted the end of the first half-hour. 1 bell was added each half-hour. Eight bells, therefore, signaled the end of each four-hour watch. Due to Shatz going bancrupt in 1986, the clocks are no longer made, making them a rare collectible!
