This a tide clock of the Cape Cod area. The dimensions are 18"x 12" and the artwork is printed on an aluminum plate with gloss bright smooth finish. The image is infused into the surface of the aluminum. The wood frame is finished in a rustic tone. This one is intended to be a wall hanging but could be put on an easel. The clock is entirely hand crafted by us in our South Daytona shop except for the movement of course. The image is permanently embedded into the clock face, very high quality! We use quality quartz clock movements and are tested before they are shipped. Please keep in mind, although this clock is pretty accurate tides are not always exactly the same. The Atlantic coast is the most accurate, The west coast and Gulf of Mexico not so much. Please note that the tide clock is NOT intended to keep track of the time, ONLY occurring tide levels on the east coast of the U.S. Comes with instructions on how to set which are laser engraved into the back.
