Barnacle, Radio Silent Clock

$399.00

The Radio Silent Clock honors maritime safety history. It was inspired by the Radio Act of 1912, which required ships to monitor radio 24/7 following the Titanic disaster. The clock’s dial visually marks three-minute “silent periods”—times when all radio transmissions ceased so operators could listen for distress signals. This design, patented by George J. King in 1935, helped ship crews track emergency communication times. The result is a timepiece that blends vintage nautical aesthetics with practical safety innovation.
