What’s New at Barometers & Clocks in 2026

As we move through 2026, Barometers & Clocks is expanding in all the right places: more premium German-made weather instruments, more marine and nautical pieces, more sauna gauges, and more outdoor weather stations for people who would rather measure real conditions than rely on guesswork.

For more than two decades, we have specialised in proper instruments: barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, weather stations, tide clocks, marine clocks and nautical instruments.

In a world full of cheap plastic gadgets, phone forecasts and digital displays that seem to object to salt air, moisture, batteries and real life, our focus remains refreshingly old-fashioned: quality, accuracy, craftsmanship and instruments that actually earn their place on the wall.

Introducing Barigo Weather Instruments

One of the biggest additions to our range is Barigo weather instruments.

Barigo is a respected German manufacturer known for beautifully finished barometers, clocks, thermometer-hygrometer combinations and marine instruments. These are not novelty pieces pretending to be useful. They are proper instruments with a design language that feels clean, precise and quietly confident.

The Barigo range is especially well suited to:

• boats and yachts
• coastal homes
• modern interiors
• offices and studies
• milestone gifts
• people who appreciate German engineering and beautiful design

Whether you are fitting out a yacht, upgrading a beach house or choosing a meaningful gift, Barigo brings a different kind of elegance to weather instruments.

New Fischer Weather Instruments

Our long-standing relationship with Fischer Germany continues to grow in 2026.

Fischer remains one of our most important brands because it represents everything we look for in a weather instrument: accuracy, build quality, clear dials, proper materials and the kind of design that still looks right years later.

This year, we are expanding our Fischer range across:

• barometers
• hygrometers and humidity gauges
• thermometers
• thermometer and hygrometer combinations
• weather stations
• sauna thermometers and hygrometers
• tide clocks

If you are looking for accurate analogue weather instruments built to last, Fischer remains a very sensible place to start.

Outdoor Weather Instruments for Australian Homes

Outdoor living is part of everyday life in Australia and New Zealand. Patios, verandas, pool areas, garden walls, lifestyle blocks and coastal homes all benefit from instruments that can show local conditions at a glance.

Our outdoor weather instruments are designed for people who want practical readings without relying on a phone app or a cheap gadget that looks tired after one season outside.

Outdoor instruments can help you check:

• temperature
• humidity
• barometric pressure
• changing weather conditions

They are useful for gardeners, entertainers, pool owners, lifestyle blocks, coastal homes and anyone who enjoys knowing what the weather is doing right where they are.

Sauna Gauges Are a Fast-Growing Category

Home saunas, outdoor saunas and wellness spaces are becoming increasingly popular across Australia and New Zealand. Once people invest in a sauna, they quickly discover that guessing the conditions is a rather poor strategy.

A proper sauna gauge helps measure temperature and humidity inside the sauna. This is especially useful for wood-fired saunas, outdoor saunas and any sauna where conditions change during a session.

Our sauna range includes:

• sauna thermometers
• sauna hygrometers
• combined sauna thermometer-hygrometers
• sauna hourglasses and sauna accessories

These instruments are ideal for home sauna builds, Airbnb properties, wellness retreats, gyms, recovery rooms and anyone who wants their sauna setup to feel finished rather than improvised.

More Marine Weather Instruments for Boats, Yachts and Coastal Homes

Marine instruments remain one of the most important parts of our range.

On the water, weather changes quickly. Wind turns up uninvited. Visibility can disappear. Conditions that looked perfectly civilised half an hour ago can become much less charming. That is why serious boat owners have always valued proper instruments onboard.

In 2026, we are increasing our focus on marine and nautical instruments, including:

• marine barometers
• ship clocks
• tide clocks
• brass marine instruments
• stainless steel marine instruments
• nautical weather stations

These instruments are suited to yachts, launches, cruisers, coastal homes, beach houses and anyone who wants a more dependable sense of changing conditions.
