Nautical clocks are timepieces that have been specially designed for use on ships. They are typically much larger than regular clocks and have special features that make them particularly suitable for use at sea.
Both functional and aesthetically-pleasing, nautical wall clocks may be the perfect gift for the boating, fishing, or sailing enthusiast in your life.
Calming Effect
Whether you’re looking for a gift for a boater or someone who just loves the sea, a nautical wall clock makes a great choice. These clocks typically feature images or themes related to sailing, boats, or the ocean, which can make them calming additions to any bedroom or office.
The gently rolling waves and soothing colors of the sea can help create a serene atmosphere that the recipient will enjoy. With that being said, the person you’re giving the clock to as a gift does not have to have those passions, per se. Anyone who appreciates watching the mechanically animated display and seeing the tide actually moving in the picture will love this gift.
Nautical Wall Clocks Can Detect the Tide
Nautical wall clocks make great gifts because some can detect tides. Using the Moon's gravitational pull, these clocks can calculate the tides for any location on Earth.
Nautical wall clocks are a unique gift for anyone who loves spending time near the water. These special clocks use the Moon's gravitational pull to calculate the tides for most locations on Earth. This information can be helpful for fishermen, boaters, and beachgoers who want to know when the tide will be high or low.
They can also be great gifts for people who love other waterfront activities, such as clam digging, hunting for sea glass, and building sandcastles. Furthermore, knowing about the tide’s behavior could be instrumental for those who prefer to swim at certain times of tide or want to walk their dogs on wet sand.
Equally important is the ability to keep you safe. Tide clocks don’t predict storms, but they will indicate when the shore will be most vulnerable to flooding and high-water damage when a storm is in the forecast.
Anyone with an interest in shoreline activities can use and enjoy a tide clock. The key is to find the right one. Tidepieces offers a wide variety of tide clocks to suit every preference. Our clocks offer precision movement, a mechanically animated display, adored nautical themes, and come in 80 unique images. All of our nautical clocks are handcrafted in New England for the utmost authenticity.
