What Makes It Uncommon

Be the keeper of your own lighthouse watching the tides change from the shore…or anywhere you display this handcrafted piece. The lovely coastal scene on Alan Winick’s tide clock depicts a watercolor of the East Coast lighthouse of your choice, with a mechanically animated ocean that rises and falls along with the real tide. Below, a traditional dial tracks the hours to the next tide.

  • Choose from 60 lighthouses.
  • Counts the hours until the two high and two low tides each day (in areas with semidiurnal tides).
  • Handmade in Connecticut.

Key Features

  • Custom lighthouse design with moving tide indicator shows actual tide times
  • Handmade in USA by marine biology expert with engineering background
  • Personalized coastal decor perfect for nautical enthusiasts and beach lovers
  • Functional timepiece combines lighthouse charm with practical tide tracking
  • Made-to-order craftsmanship using quality styrene, plexiglas, and engineered wood

I love this product!!! It is high quality and very well made

Love this tide clock for an accurate monitoring of the tide in my area. Love that the water rises up/down with the tide. And personalization of the lighthouse in my area!! Would definitely buy this again!! A very unique gift to give also!!❤️🌊


Pretty cool item

Bought this as a gift for someone who lives by the shore. It is a unique peice definitely worth talking about. I hope that custom lighthouse broadens thier list of shore lines to pick from.


The Highs and Lows

I gave this as a gift and the recipients loved it!!


Tide clock fun

What do you buy for the Dad who has everything- this! I cose Nubble Lighthouse since that is his favorite and it was a definite win!


Beautiful, customized gift

Beautifully crafted tide clock that captures the essence of Maine's historic lighthouses.


Not worth the price

The tide clock inner portion was detached from the outer frame when I received it because there were pieces missing to hold it in place. Also, image quality of the product was not good in my opinion.


Could be better artwork

Keep in mind you cannot return this product. The gauge works well. However, the picture of what was supposed to be the lighthouse location I chose, did not reflect my lighthouse. So, if this is important to you, I would pass.


I bought this as a gift

As it is a gift, I have no idea if this works but it is a beautiful piece that I hope gift recipient will love!


Unique and Wonderful

This was the first and only time I had seen this item anywhere!!! It is a wonderful addition to coastal decor. And as a gift it went over the top!!! Excellent craftsmanship as well


Disappointing

The item was very flimsy, not the solid frame as expected.

Got questions? Find your answers here


When the batteries die, how do we reset it to the appropriate position?

Verified reply from Justin

Hello! The clocks run on AA batteries that need to be changed approximately once a year. The clock will come with instructions on how to set the Tideclock (it functions like a regular time clock). If you need a new copy of the instructions that came with the clock please email support@uncommongoods.com and we can work on getting that to you.


We live in Saint Simons Island, Georgia. You don't offer our state nor our Lighthouse. Any chance you can do ours? Thanks.

Verified reply from Iriscelis

At this time we only offer the options shown on the item page. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, we are always working to add new options so be sure to check back!


Is this moving tide clock compatible with the tides in the pacific northwest?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! At this time, the Custom Lighthouse Moving Tide Clock is only made to work with eastern tides.


Where is the list of lighthouses?

Verified reply from Ashley

Hi please choose the customize button, where you will find different states listed. Once a state is chosen you can select a lighthouse. Hope this helps! Thank you for asking.


How can you control the frame color? I want the blue frame on the Nubble Lighthouse (Maine). I can't tell what color it is.

Verified reply from Itamar

At this time, the color of the frame is not customizable and only comes in the shown dark color. However, we will pass along your feedback :^)


Hi can you post a larger picture of the Asbury park, NJ option?

Verified reply from Itamar

At this time, we cannot change the sizing of our lighthouse options on the product page. We will pass along your feedback :^)


There are two options for the lighthouse I would like to order. How do I specify the option I want?

Verified reply from Andy

Hi! Select customize on the right, select the state you want, then select the lighthouse you want.


Is the tide clock battery operated

Verified reply from Michelle

Yes! The tide clocks run on a single AA battery which should last about one year, before you have to replace the battery.


This lighthouse clock is such a great idea. I have a friend that toured all of them off the coast of New London CT but none of the lighthouses he loves are listed. Is there any way I could order a custom one of RaceRock off of Fisher's Island NY or Ledgelight in CT?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! Unfortunately, the artist does not take custom orders. The only lighthouses available are the ones listed.


Is it possible to choose a different lighthouse in CT to be customized?

Verified reply from Jasmine

Unfortunately, only the lighthouses listed are available. The vendor isn't taking any custom orders for this clock.
