Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Tide & Time Clock | Carved Birch Coastal Wall Clock
How the Water Becomes Wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
- ChartThe recessed birch face carries the water's etched shoreline over a hand-stained sea.
- MovementA quartz mechanism turns the tide hand once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar tide cycle.
- Set onceAlign it at your local high tide, or at the full or new moon, and it tracks from there.
- NoteTide movements are offered for East Coast waters only; Gulf and West Coast tides run too irregular for a quartz mechanism.
A Chesapeake Bay tide and time clock: a framed carved birch face with the Bay etched beneath two movements, one keeping the hour, one tracking the tide.
Bay life runs on both clocks at once, the marina's hours and the water's, and this one carries them together: standard hands for the human schedule, and a tide hand turning every 12 hours and 25 minutes with the moon. Set the tide side once at local high water and it holds honest through crab season and duck season alike, the etched shoreline from the Susquehanna to the capes underneath.
Right for a river-house mudroom or the office wall that wishes it were one.
The Bay's carved depths hang full-size as the Chesapeake Bay 3D chart.
