- After huge demand, the design team at Bramwell Brown has created the Limited Edition St Ives Tide Clock. Depicting the ever-popular Cornish harbour town and beautifully bringing it to life.
- The moving mechanical scene has local boats bobbing on the waves as the tide rises and falls. We've even included the well-known cheeky pair of seals that can usually be found at the end of the pier. What else can you spot?!
- Working in the same way as our regular Tide Clocks, the St Ives Tide Clock accurately keeps track of the day's Tides, like a regular tide clock does, just in a more expressive way. (You can learn more how our Tide Clocks work here.)
- All our clocks are made with love at our workshop in Hampshire, UK. And, as with with all Limited Edition designs, we will will make only 250 of these very special clocks.
- FREE shipping within the UK, EU and USA. For deliveries to Ireland and the rest of the EU, all post-Brexit custom charges are paid for by Bramwell Brown - so there are no unexpected costs or delays whatsoever.
- After popular demand from Cornish locals and visitors alike, St Ives was chosen as part of Bramwell Brown's growing range of Tide Clocks. If you have a coastal location close to your own heart that you'd love our design team to make into a clock for you, we could either make you a incredibly special 'one off' Tide Clock, (complete with your own choice of scene and bobbing boats!). Or you can vote for your preferred spot here.

Clever electro-mechanical design
The scenery updates every 30 minutes to keep track of the average moving tide. Like all Tide Clocks, it is set to work on a semi-diurnal timer of 12 hours 25 minutes and 15 seconds between high tides. Just set the Clock to 'High Tide' when your favourite coastal location is also in flood and you're in sync. -
Watch a full tidal day in one go
The ‘mechanically animated’ illustrations can be demonstrated to friends and family at the push of the ‘Mechanimate’ button on the clock – it will then complete an entire tidal loop with boats bobbing up and down along the way. Swimwear and ice cream is optional! -
Hand Assembled in Great Britain
All of our patented, British-designed Tide Clocks are crafted by hand at our workshop in Hampshire, England – delicate, skilled work. -
Sustainable Design
We’ve designed the clock to work for many happy years in your home. It’s fully serviceable (if it ever needs to be) – with all the parts available in our workshop. -
Easy to hang (indoors!)
A single screw in the wall can hold the clock and you get a nifty hanging guide in the box. This clock is for indoor use only – and please don't hang it within 50cm (20 inches) of a radiator. The delicate mechanics don’t enjoy direct heat. -
Certificate of Authenticity
A badge of honour for every Bramwell Brown Clock we make, signed by the team members at the workshop that assembled it for you. -

We’re sure you’re going to love this clock. But if you change your mind, for whatever reason, just send it back to us within 60 days of delivery for an exchange or full refund. You can read more about our hassle-free process here.

A note on unusual tide patterns
Our Tide Clocks forecast the tide state on a semi-diurnal mechanism. They therefore time the twice daily rise and fall of a standard semi-diurnal tide, (as found in all of the United Kingdom, most of Europe and the East Coast of the USA) that results from the gravitational pull of the moon. If you are in a location not listed above or with a known unusual tide then you can read more here.
I am so pleased to be the owner of my tide clock in Dorchester, Dorset, which unfailingly guides me to dog walks with the beach exposed. It's much admired by visitors.

I usually send one of the children down first thing in the morning to check it! Several friends are hoping to get one having admired ours.

The clock has gone down very well and it hangs pride of place in our stairwell. It looks fabulous! The animations are really quite fun and we get quite excited when the forecast changes. Thanks again for the amazing clock.

We now have a beautiful clock that tells the time, predicts the weather, reminds us of London, and proves that some people still care about craftsmanship, and about taking the time to get things right.

We love having the clock. The children check the weather every morning and all throughout the day run into the kitchen to see how it has changed if we hear it moving. We love it!

My wife loves StIves and it’s the nearest she can get to being there all of the time because she can look at the clock face and it takes her back to many childhood memories of summer holidays.
I’m an Engineer and love it’s quirkiness and lighthouse.

Bramwell Brown - Nicky C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoSt Ives Tide Clock
I had been considering buying a tide clock for so long since my hints for birthday and Christmas gifts had been ignored! Everyone felt it was too expensive! They are, to be honest, but if you can afford one, get one, especially if your favourite seaside place is available as a special edition! I am really pleased with my clock, it’s a fabulous piece of art, very well made, and a wonderful addition to my kitchen. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and enjoy watching the tides change on the clock face, and it’s really useful as I swim and walk at the local beach most days.
