An everyday object with a maritime soul! This pocket mirror reproduces the dial of the Chadburn, the famous order transmitter that allowed the captain of Belle Époque ships to communicate his instructions to the engine room.
From STOP to GO, via HALF SPEED and VERY SLOWLY, the Chadburn dial sets the rhythm of life aboard the steamboats of Lake Geneva. Even today, the boats La Suisse, SavoieSimplon and Rhône are equipped with these mechanical chain and cable transmitters between the footbridge and the engine room.
This 8cm diameter pocket mirror, with its original design, faithfully reproduces this iconic dial adorned with the ABVL logo. A useful and historically significant accessory, ideal for sailing enthusiasts or as a gift.
