Product details
This green and yellow striped tide clock combines a rectangular case with a dial devoted to the marine cycle. Teal, mustard yellow and cream form its retro pattern. It provides a decorative guide to tidal trends and does not replace a clock that tells the time.
A dial devoted to the sea
High- and low-tide indications change how this object is read. Its hand relates to the tidal cycle rather than the hours and minutes of a conventional clock. The model's page states an average cycle of approximately 12 h 25. This average indication cannot establish exact times for every coast.
For a walk on the foreshore, a trip to sea or an activity that depends on water levels, consult official forecasts for your area and local instructions. This clock is not a safety or navigation instrument. Its role in the home is to recall the marine rhythm; decisions about outings require other information.
Stripes without anchors or boats
The pattern can suggest deckchair fabric: one way to create a holiday feel without multiplying nautical symbols. You can echo the cream in a curtain or let the stripes stand alone against a light wall. Green and yellow then provide the decoration, even in a room far from the coast.
The rectangular shape measures 27 × 18 × 4 cm. Before choosing its position, mark these measurements on the wall and look at the result from your usual viewing point. Above a console, leave space around the case so that objects below do not obscure the dial's indications.
Installation reference points
This model uses one LR6 AA battery, not included. Its page calls for initial setting using the rear wheel, based on a reference local tide. Follow the instructions for this clock when starting it; do not set it like a watch displaying the time of day. Setting does not turn its average cycle into an accurate local forecast.
The frame is thermoset resin, the cover PVC and the hands aluminium. The stated care is limited to a soft cloth, for indoor use. Its design was developed in France; this refers to the design, not French manufacture of the complete object.
To compare designs in this category, explore the tide clocks. If your main aim is telling the time in the kitchen or living room, the vintage wall clocks meet a different need.
