Mass-production techniques and the Victorians' high status for industrial progress created a market for industrial-themed clocks such as this, often given as presentation items. This example is inscribed, '1st Admiralty Prize, Study Subjects, HMS 'Britannia', Ap 1898 Henry G Thursfield'. The movement, with cylinder platform escapement, is numbered 1351.
