425-3831 11.8-inch Tide Wall Clock

While other clocks may show the time down to the minute, this Tide Wall Clock goes by its own natural flow. At just under 12 inches across, a single navy hand tracks the rise and fall of coastal water — flowing to high, ebbing to low — on the Atlantic's natural 12-hour-25-minute lunar rhythm. The softly flecked dial and pale beechwood finish flush-mount frame put a nice change of pace on the wall of a living room, home office, or pool house — a tranquil focal point for any room, even when the waves are crashing. Calibrate once at high tide with the tide-set wheel, hang from one wall hole, and run on one AA battery for 12+ months. (Best on twice-a-day tides; calibrate to your coast.) The clock keeps time with the moon — you just have to look up.
