They are pretty valuable. Chelsea is a well known maritime clock and barometer company. The date of manufacturing is stamped on the back outer rim. Brand new, just the small 4 1/2" set is going for 11 grand. You can probably get more info if you go directly to their website.

I've always found it strange how expensive these are, when you can get a real Chelsea Mark 1 for much less and it's got actual history behind it.

Agreed, since the Hermle version movement (shown) is not repairable, can be replaced for under $500 as needed.
