Breezy beach walks, wild swims and lazy days on the open water. Every day’s an adventure when you live by the sea, and the Tide Clock tells you when it’s time to stretch your legs or pull on your wetsuit. Bobbing boats in the quaint harbour rise and fall in tune with local tides, so you can plan more of the good life while giving your coastal home the handmade finishing touch it deserves.

Select a frame colour:


  • 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.
  • Want a different harbour scene? - our design and assembly team can create a fully Bespoke Tide Clock that shows your favourite part of the coast. Or, you can vote for the next location we design for open sale.
  • Daddy it’s time for a swim – “The Tide Clock has turned my six-year-old grandson into a good little swimmer,” says happy customer Lorraine. Read more reviews.
  • 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.

    The tide clock looks good next to my weather clock even though I am not by the sea 🤣

    It’s a wonderful clock

    We love our new clock and it’s beautiful construction. The tide clock is really accurate in telling ebbing and flooding tides and the moving display is lovely. We particularly love the flashing lighthouse. Very pleased with our purchase that has already been admired by lots of people.

    A great timepiece that also lets me know when it’s time for a wonderful dip in the sea.

    Tide clock

    I couldn’t wait to order my tide clock as I already have the barometer clock. The tide clock is excellent and so unique as it flashes on the lighthouse! I do admire bramwell brown for their quality clocks. Keep up excellent products

    Expensive for what it is

    Good points: provides an accurate indication of the tide state at our local quay, is definitely a talking point for visitors. Not so good points, case appears dented, was going to return but website information indicates the distortion is normal where internal brackets are welded. The tide display movement is noisy, unfortunately the clock makes a noise like a large African animal breaking wind, which can be quite embarrassing for visitors not accustomed to this feature. The wife likes the clock though and finds this attribute amusing.

    Hello Tim, and thank you for your review!
    We're delighted that the clock is helping you keep track of the tides but we're less delighted that you have an especially noisy clock, there...! We're just wondering whether there is something wrong here. The clocks should make a 'burble' for sure (that will quieten even further with use). But they shouldn't cause alarm!
    Our clock frames might have 'dimples' in them from hand welding at the metalworks but there should be no distortion. This could, perhaps, be preventing a good seal around the face and making the mechanism more audible than usual. If you are able to get back to us with a video of the clock frame and the clock moving, we can advise?! Thanks so much again for you custom and reviewing the clock here - looking forward to discussing.
    Warmest regards, the Bramwell Brown team

    Beautiful addition to kitchen

    Such a beautiful clock, it reminds me of my school days in Southwold. The different sounds and tide motions are a great talking point in the kitchen and I can’t stop looking at it!
