All Barometers 20% Off – Nautical Instrument of the Week

Barometers

Early seafarers carried crude instruments to sea to aid in navigation.

One instrument was the barometer to measure air pressure.

Suddenly falling air pressure predicted rough weather ahead.

High pressure meant fair and sunny weather and probably good sailing.

The word barometer comes from the Greek words “baros”, meaning weight and “metron”, meaning measure.

When you purchase one of these attractive, solid brass barometer clocks you will get both weight and measure for your dollar!

Both eye catching and accurate, these barometer clocks allow you to forecast the coming weather in the same way ship’s captains have been doing for hundreds of years.

This week only, our Barometers are 20% off when you use coupon code NIOW at checkout.
