THE ORIGINAL
“The tide comes in, the tide goes out. We wait for no one, and no one waits for us.”
J.R.R Tolkien
- Mini animated harbour in a clock – watch the waves move and the light house flash as the clever mechanical scenery brings the little harbour to life.
- Delightfully uncomplicated set up – synchronise the clock when your local tide is highest, and the semi-diurnal timer will do the rest, tracking the tides without needing an internet connection.
- Plan sea swims, beach walks or boat launches – the moving scenery is connected to a central dial, so you can count the hours until high or low tide.
- Happy to blend in, or stand out – proudly hanging in your kitchen, hallway or your room with the sea views, it adds even more homeliness to coastal living.
- Impress your visitors – push the little button on the bottom of the clock when friends and family are round, and watch them be amazed as it goes through a fully animated tidal cycle.
- A good size – the Tide Clock's frame measures 33cm diameter (13 inches) and 12.5cm deep (5 inches) – big enough to be a focal point, but small enough to sit alongside other wall art and furnishings.
- Peace of mind – reflecting the trust we put in our dedicated workshop team and the quality of our clocks, every one comes with a one-year warranty, easily extendable to two years by registering your purchase.

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 at the seaside
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 that assembled it for you. -
Personalise your clock with a plaque
A Tide Clock is a wonderful item to mark an event, person, house purchase or memory. The only thing better? Having one assembled specially for the occasion, with a plaque attached to the back of the clock. The Bramwell Brown assembly team are always incredibly proud to make personalised clocks. -

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 bought a weather clock a few years ago and absolutely love it - it has pride of place in my kitchen and is such a talking point . Having bought a little place by the sea , I couldn’t wait to then get the tide clock . It’s even more delightful ! I go for cold water swims on the nearby beach and can see when best to go. . I just love the bobbing boat and flashing lighthouse . The service from Bramwell Brown has been excellent and I know I’ll treasure the clocks for many years .

Bramwell Brown - Andrea S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat clock
Set up about a month ago when we had the last spring tides. Working well, even though we are inland on a tidal river, set to display high water as it can't do both high and low where we are.
Very pleased with it. Good quality item.
BBBramwell Brown Art Clocks1 year agoDear Andrea,
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5* review! It is lovely to hear you are using your Tide Clock to map your tidal river. Our Tide Clock's are just as happy inland as they are on the coast.
Many thanks,
Bramwell Brown - Grace N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoWow what a gorgeous clock
I have had my eye on the Bramwell Brown tide clock for a while now and decided to go for it. I am super pleased with it. I live by the sea and go for regular beach walks and sea rowing. How fab to be able to know the tidal conditions at a glance. So beautiful and elegant too, I particularly love the little flashing light house.
Thanks Bramwell Brown what a lovely piece of art in a clock.
BBBramwell Brown Art Clocks1 year agoDear Grace,
