On 1stDibs, you can find authentic humidors from some of the top sellers around the world.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Most Rolex watches work thanks to a perpetual rotor found inside. Every time you move your wrist, this rotor glides back and forth, creating kinetic energy. That energy moves into the mainspring of the watch to power the timepiece, eliminating the need for winding as long as the watch is being worn. You’ll find a large selection of Rolex on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How a ship's telegraph works involves two components: one in the bridge and one in the engine room. The captain turns the dial to a desired command on the bridge side. This causes a bell to ring in the engine room and the dial to move to the corresponding position to share the captain's orders. On 1stDibs, shop a range of ship's telegraphs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    A banjo barometer works because of a small capsule or box made of beryllium and copper called an aneroid. In most designs, the aneroid box or capsule was on the back. Fluctuations in air pressure would cause the shape of the box or capsule to change, and this, in turn, moved the needle on the barometer dial. Shop a range of banjo barometers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A longcase clock works with the help of a pendulum, which is usually hidden away in the body of the clock. As the pendulum swings, it creates kinetic energy that then turns the gears to move the hands on the face. You'll find a variety of longcase clocks on 1stDibs.

    The Congreve clock is a stroke of genius. A brass ball zig-zags down a platform in a time span of 15 seconds.

You can shop a selection of Congreve clocks on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
