Our nautical tide clock showcases the landscape of Charleston and its surrounding areas. The Charleston Clock is sixteen and a half inches in diameter, including an outline of the island in birch with a recessed layer below the land.

What is a tide clock and how does it work?                                                                  Fun facts: The lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long & the moon is the biggest influence on the tides! Since there are two high tides each lunar day our tide clocks rotate every 12 hours and 25 minutes. Quartz tide clocks are perfect for the more predictable tides of the Eastern United States. You can always set your tide clock by either a quick internet search for high tide in your area for the next high tide or set it monthly at the full or new moon.

Please note: The tides on the US West Coast and Gulf of Mexico are too unpredictable for quartz tide clock mechanisms, therefore we do not offer those locations.
