- Based on the ever-popular Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby, England, this clock depicts a vantage point from close to the town's bandstand, whilst also telling the tide though its clever animated mechanics.
- Whitby's memorable townscape, looking East, is framed by the ruins of Whitby Abbey, above the 199 Steps and the rest of the quayside buildings. Seagulls stream over the bobbing trawler and tour boat that go up and down with the mechanical scenery throughout the day.
- Designed to be both a helpful indication of when is a good time to go for walk at low water or a swim at high tide, the clock is also a moving piece of artwork, brought to life by the artistic seascape that updates every thirty minutes.
- The clever electro-mechanics work in the same way as our regular Tide Clocks - the Whitby Tide Clock keeps track of the day's Tides (learn more here). No internet connections required or anything difficult to get right - just set the clock at high tide for your preferred location or Whitby's tide itself, and off you go.
- All our clocks are made with great affection at our workshop in Hampshire, England. And, as with with all Limited Edition designs, we will will make only 250 of these very special clocks.
- Whitby was chosen after multiple requests from enthusiastic Yorkshire locals voted for us to choose the view from the Pier.

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 day of Whitby's tide
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. -

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!

Beautiful clock, grandchildren are fascinated. It’s in their kitchen so they can keep an eye on the tides for when they go out in their boat. Also a reminder for our daughter of many a happy day spent at Whitby in her younger days!!
