TIME & TIDE CLOCKS


We all have personal experience with a time clock. But, for best beachcombing, boat launching, fishing, or quiet walking along the shoreline, one should consult a tide clock. Tide clocks are specially geared to keep pace with the tides. Most coastal areas have four tides per day, two low & two high with about a 15 minute slack time between each tide change. This makes the "tidal" day approximately 25 hours, not our 24 hour time day. These tide clocks have a specialized quartz mechanism that uses a AA battery & cycles on this tidal or lunar day. If your coastal area has more or less than four tides/day these clocks will not keep efficient "tidal time". Setting instructions are included with each tide clock, but essentially one consults a published tide chart for your area, & when it is time for the high tide, you move the clock hand to HIGH, insert the AA battery, & you are good to go...to the beach, to the boat, to the launch ramp.

Capiz Shell Wall Clocks

Capiz shells are the outer shell of a marine mollusk whose scientific name is Placuna Placenta. They grow abundantly in the shallow coastal waters of the Philippines. They are not endangered & the Philippine Government is supportive of their harvest. They are prized for their natural iridescence & translucency. They are also known as "windowpane oysters" since in colonial times they were used in making windows. These windows were made of small squares shells, held together by thin wood strips, & designed to slide open and closed. They can still be seen in older Philippine houses. The pieces featured here were made by heating & molding many layers of capiz into the desired shape.

All clocks come with specialty hangar on back.
