Aesthetically beautiful. The clocks are my favourite.

I love old stuff like that. A bloke came round to change my LEB leccy meter to a new Seimens one. Let me keep the old one. New one is a really boring plastic box with LCD panel. 🙁

Reminds me of "Polar Star" by Martin Cruz Smith. Great book, thriller set on a massive Soviet fish processing boat.

First time Ive seem a clock with only the 12, 4, and 8 shown

...maybe they worked 4 hour shifts or something.

Excellent - the medical room looks better equipped than our local hospital, and the ship is clearly way better appointed than a cross-channel ferry! Really interesting - thanks.

No idea why it was blocked at work. Probably beacuse it had the word "Soviet" in it or something. Cheers

Did you remove the magnets before he came?

I saw a bloke with a watch with just 12, 4 and 8 on it. Looked strange but I thought it was a fashion thing. perhaps there is a good reason.

anyone know?

I think that's because they do 4 hours on watch on the bridge?
