Nautical Sailboat Wheel Office Mini Desk Clock
Remember all of the sweet memories of a trip to the seas whenever you take a look at this sailboat Desk Clock. The silver-coated desk clock is the perfect desk accessory for the home or office desk. It's designed after the shipping wheel with a mini clock embedded in its center, spokes out to the rim and the dial sitting where the helmsman's hands would go. It's a unique product for sailboat enthusiasts and also a perfect gift for a colleague departing on a cruise vacation. Make it even more unique and add engraving on the backside of the sailboat wheel.
The shipping wheel clock makes an ideal gift for fans of sailing. Its metallic makeup adds durability and strength to the fashionable desk clock, so it holds its finish on a desk that gets used rather than looked at. At 2.75" wide it takes up about as much room as a coffee cup, small enough for a crowded desk, a shelf or a cabinet, and heavy enough in the hand to feel like an instrument rather than a novelty.
This nautical desk clock is a must-have for cruise and seaside gift shops, and it can be used as a gift for sailboat competitions or tournaments on the cruise boat. Engrave the event, the year and the winner's name on the back and the trophy becomes something that sits on a working desk for the next twenty years instead of in a box.
As a sailboat fan, you may choose to present the ship wheel Clock to friends, colleagues on special occasions. It is also a unique gift item for sailboat and sea theme events. Because the engraving lives on the backside, the front stays clean and nautical while the private part of the gift, the names, the date, the line you wanted to say, waits on the reverse for the person who picks it up.
Every clock is engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, with up to sixteen characters on each of three lines. Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and set it where they will see it every working hour.

Which one should I choose
A nautical desk gift has to decide whether it is decoration, an award or a working object, and whether the wording is on show or kept for the person who picks it up.
| Nautical Sailboat Wheel Office Mini Desk Clock | Choose it when the gift should earn its place on a desk every day: a working mini clock in a shipping wheel, engraved on the backside. |
|---|---|
| A plain engraved desk plaque or trophy | Choose it when the wording is the whole point and it needs to be read across a room, rather than discovered on the reverse. |
| An unengraved nautical ornament | Choose it when the gift is decor for a seaside room or gift shop shelf and does not need to name anyone. |
For a sailing fan who sits at a desk, the sailboat wheel clock does both jobs: nautical on the front, personal on the back, and useful all day.
