Kevin, can you expand on the Chelsea Clock Co. connection? From your reference I see from your citation that it was owned by the Bunker Ramo Corp. from 72 -76. Was the Chelsea Clock Co. name ever used on Car Clocks? Thanks.
Thanks Kevin for the information and appreciation. I'll have to do some research on the connection between John Warner the clockmaker of the late 1600's.

Bruce99,
I googled Chelsea car clock images and found a few with their name on them.
Kevin,
I also saw some Stewart-Warner speedometer marked clocks made by Chelsea.
Dave
Thanks Dave. I suppose it makes sense since Chelsea was known for manufacturing Ship's Bell Clocks. Can't very well have a pendulum clock in a car either. :)
Thanks again BELLIN68 for the appreciation.
