Wedding Anniversary Gift help...

Greetings fellow gents, I have a significant upcoming anniversary soon with my lovely bride. I have planned ahead and have already acquired a DJ31 in RG/SS for her (her first mechanical watch). I want to preface that primary gift with a house clock of some sort that we can enjoy together. I am not smart on house clocks, so I'm looking for advise on something that I will appreciate having over time. I will appreciate any quick advise you can provide me. I need to acquire and have it wrapped up on about 1 week's time. Thank you in advance for any help! BTW, its's our 15th, so that is the reason for the focus on 'time' gifts. Gotta take advantage of these rare opportunities :)

Chelsea Clocks. We have several from WWII vintage (they were on every US Naval ship), to new ships bells, to barometers. I would post a link but I can’t yet. Google will take you to them- they are in MA.

Very good, will take a look now - I'm a former soldier from moons a-past, so sounds interesting for sure. Thank you again.

ok, the Chelsea didn't do it for me. Any other ideas out there? looking for a good initial distraction gift (a clock) that will be something we later learn to really appreciate in time. IF no ideas, I do appreciate any time spent considering input. I'll figure it out. Cheers.

Hands down. It’ll be an heirloom and piece of art to look at and functional until the end of time.
