Tide Clock $11.35 (US)
Movement only $9.99 http://www.klockit.com/products/prod...?sku=BBBHH&tab Google is your friend... Sal's Dad All that they have to do is to change the gearing such that it has a 12 hr 25 min period rather than 12 hours. Of course it is. Why is this such a hard thing to believe?

I saw a tide clock on ebay today, had a single hand with a 'high' at the top, a 'low' at the bottom and that was pretty much it. All this for the bargan price of AU$70. It occured to me that all it was, is a standard analogue clock with the second and minute hand removed. open tha face and glue on a bit of paper, right high at 12 and low at 6 and you have your very own homebuilt version. set it to high or low when you know the tide is there and you'll always have the tide at a glance. a lot cheaper than the rip curl tide master watch i bought a few years ago and lost somewhere in asia Shaun tides are based on a lunar cycle; not on the solar cycle. |
