Georgetown Pottery Tide Clock - Purple Wave

Title: Georgetown Pottery Tide Clock - Purple Wave

Description: Tide Clocks were one of the first products Georgetown Pottery made some 40 years ago. Jeff Peters, the owner, is an avid fisherman and wanted to know when the tide would be right for a lunch break fishing trip. The patented off center circle design represents the height and direction of the tide. Hand up is high tide and hand down is low. The Tide Clocks run on lunar time, 24 hours and 50 minutes. While they were initially created for fishing, they make a wonderful gift for any boater, sailor, beach goer or lover of the sea. To use, simply set to the local harbor, beach, or body of water of your choice. They use 1 AA battery and are 7.5 inches in diameter.

FAQs:

Does this clock wok for Puget Sound? This clock will work for any area as you set it per your local tides

Does it have to be hung on a wall or does it come with a stand so you can sit it on an end table? Hello! Our tide clocks come with a hanger attached on the back of the mechanism so you can easily hang your clock on a wall. They do not come with a stand, but would certainly fit onto a clock stand with ease!

Just moved 2 miles from the beach. Will this work 2 miles from the beach? Absolutely! I live 100 miles from the beach, you set it to tide at whatever city you want. It's works on lunar time, which is about 25 hrs. We love ours we always know the tide where we go out of. It's also a conversation piece. Enjoy!

Does it tick out loud? It does tick out loud, sounds as soothing as any clock
