BRIGHTON

"Brighton: a town for those who dream of escape, where the streets hum with stories untold."

Sir John Betjeman

Highlights
  • Our Tide Clock collection could never be complete without featuring the Brighton seafront, famous for many things, including its pier, beach, arts and fun to be had; all of which we hope to have captured in this delightful timepiece.
  • The little mechanical scene shows a rising a falling tide in front of the beach, naturally populated with families and friends there enjoying the sun and sea. Sea swimmers in the waves appear at high tide and the Palace Pier forms an iconic backdrop.
  • 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 Brighton 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 Brighton’s tide itself, and off you go.
  • All our clocks are made with great affection at our workshop at a not-so-distant location in Hampshire, England. And, as with all Limited Edition designs, we will make only 250 of these very special clocks.
  • Brighton was chosen after multiple requests from enthusiastic Sussex locals voted for us to add it to our range.

  • 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 tides 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 the swimmers bobbing up and down along the way.

  • 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.

  • 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.
