As you see even the US Army got into the act with message center clock got two of those made by Chelsea clock co some of the US Navy clocks are made by Seth Thomas and Chelsea clock co and even one US Maritime Commission clock made by Chelsea probably came off a Liberty or Victory ship in WW2 and even two from the axis powers of WW2 Japan and Germany. I all most bought a Bund ships clock because the price was so cheap but I got to stop this insanity I got enough.

See the two US Army message center clocks they were ahead of there time with a extra hand for two time zones before wristwatches did it by 20-30 years.
