- The mechanically animated artwork is based on the idyllic harbour village of Roundstone, Co. Galway, Ireland. (A regular family holiday location for Bramwell Brown brother & sister Co-Founders, Rob & Sarah.)
- Our design team took images of the village, including the usual boats and street scene above the harbour wall, to create an illustrated depiction of village life, that is brought alive by mechanical tidal movements.
- Working in the same way as our regular Tide Clocks, the Roundstone Tide Clock keeps track of the day's Tides (learn more here), moving every half an hour to update its scenery.
- All our clocks are made with love at our workshop in Hampshire, England. And, as with all Limited Edition designs, we will make only 250 of these very special clocks.
- If you’re nearby Roundstone yourself and would like to see one in the flesh, drop in to see our good friends, James and Aoife, in Coffee Cottage, just by Roundstone pier, where there is one on the wall.
- If you have a village close to your own heart that you'd love our design team to make into a clock for you, we could either make you a incredibly special 'one off' Tide Clock, complete with your own choice of scene and bobbing boats! Or you can vote here for where you would like us to depict next!

Clever electro-mechanical design
The scenery updates every 30 minutes to keep track of the average moving tide. Like all Tide Clocks, it is set to work on a semi-diurnal timer of 12 hours 25 minutes and 15 seconds between high tides. Just set the Clock to 'High Tide' when your favourite coastal location is also in flood and you're in sync. -
Watch a full day of Roundstone harbour
The ‘mechanically animated’ illustrations can be demonstrated to friends and family at the push of the ‘Mechanimate’ button on the clock – it will then complete an entire tidal loop with boats bobbing up and down along the way. Swimwear and ice cream is optional! -
Hand Assembled in Great Britain
All of our patented, British-designed Tide Clocks are crafted by hand at our workshop in Hampshire, England – delicate, skilled work. -
Sustainable Design
We’ve designed the clock to work for many happy years in your home. It’s fully serviceable (if it ever needs to be) – with all the parts available in our workshop. -
Easy to hang (indoors!)
A single screw in the wall can hold the clock and you get a nifty hanging guide in the box. This clock is for indoor use only – and please don't hang it within 50cm (20 inches) of a radiator. The delicate mechanics don’t enjoy direct heat. -
Certificate of Authenticity
A badge of honour for every Bramwell Brown Clock we make, signed by the team members at the workshop that assembled it for you. -

A note on unusual tide patterns
Our Tide Clocks forecast the tide state on a semi-diurnal mechanism. They therefore time the twice daily rise and fall of a standard semi-diurnal tide, (as found in all of the United Kingdom, most of Europe and the East Coast of the USA) that results from the gravitational pull of the moon. If you are in a location not listed above or with a known unusual tide then you can read more here.
I am so pleased to be the owner of my tide clock in Dorchester, Dorset, which unfailingly guides me to dog walks with the beach exposed. It's much admired by visitors.

read more testimonialsWe absolutely love it and we have so many comments and compliments. Our seven-year old shows it proudly to all of his friends.
read more testimonialsThe clock has gone down very well and it hangs pride of place in our stairwell. It looks fabulous! The animations are really quite fun and we get quite excited when the forecast changes. Thanks again for the amazing clock.
read more testimonialsWe now have a beautiful clock that tells the time, predicts the weather, reminds us of London, and proves that some people still care about craftsmanship, and about taking the time to get things right.
read more testimonialsWe love having the clock. The children check the weather every morning and all throughout the day run into the kitchen to see how it has changed if we hear it moving. We love it!
