With so many different types of unique gifts out there, it probably seems like you’ve exhausted all your options. If that’s the case, you haven’t been introduced to whimsical tide clocks. Distinct, animated, functional, and beautiful, Tidepieces’ clocks offer reliable readings of the local tides with whimsical designs that keep everyone informed and entertained. We have a wide selection of handcrafted tide clocks, available in a series of nautical designs, including mermaids, sandcastles, kayaks, and more.
Wherever you are and wherever you go, if you consider yourself one with the sea, it’s important to keep your connection to the ocean strong. Whimsical tide clocks can help you do just that.
About Tide Clocks
A tide clock's operation relies heavily on fine-tuning the clock to the moon's cycle. This is due to the moon's impact on the tidal motions of the sea and is easily obtained from published tide tables for various coastal locations. Once that is done, seafarers, water sports enthusiasts, and coastal living aficionados can all enjoy using their tide clocks day in and day out.
The whimsical design of Tidepieces’ nautical instruments brings a lighthearted element to these otherwise practical devices. Not only are our tide clocks useful, but they also make for some of the best nautical-themed home decor options in any home or houseboat.
What Makes Our Whimsical Tide Clocks Useful
The whimsical design of these tide clocks may be the draw, but another benefit of them is that they’re actually quite useful. Regardless of your location, you can set your tide clock to track the tides so long as the place you’re following has a regular high tide and a regular low tide.
Pro tip: it’s always best to calibrate the tide clock to the high tide on the day of a full moon for the most precise reading. This should yield the fewest number of interval delays and inaccuracies.
Using a tide clock lets you obtain tidal readings without having to rely on complex tidal charts and tables. All you have to do is look at your tide clock and you’ll be able to determine the best time to go fishing, crabbing, or participate in other waterfront activities.
Not only are whimsical tide clocks good for recreational fun, but they can also be used for safety. Knowing when the tide is expected to be high during a storm could give you insight into whether it might be necessary to prepare your house in the event of coastal flooding. A tide clock offers fast, immediate, and reliable tidal readings while the whimsical tide clock designs make the whole experience fun and interactive.
