Hang it where the sailing gear is stored or the boots are kept — you read the tide on your way out, not when you're already on the mudflats.

1. How do I set the tide clock?
The tide clock is set to the time of high tide in your sailing area. Use an up-to-date tide table for the nearest port. We are happy to help you set it.
2. How does a tide clock work?
The hand follows the average lunar cycle of 12 hours and 25 minutes between two successive high tides. This allows you to see at a glance whether the tide is rising or falling and when high or low tide will occur.
3. Does the tide clock show the exact time of high tide?
The clock provides an indication. Wind, atmospheric pressure and local conditions affect the actual tide. Always use up-to-date tide tables for navigation.
4. Does this tide clock require a battery?
Yes, the Plastimo tide clock has a quartz mechanism that runs on a battery. This allows the hand to automatically follow the average tidal rhythm.
5. Where can I hang the tide clock?
The heavy brass case with a classic porthole closure looks beautiful in a wheelhouse, cabin, beach house or maritime interior. Mount the clock securely to a wall, preferably in a dry, sheltered place.
