Time, Tides & Tradition
Handcrafted Nautical Clocks

Every LUXURY111 timepiece is shaped by hand in our coastal workshop โ€” blending centuries-old clockmaking traditions with the raw beauty of the seashore. From reclaimed driftwood cases to hand-finished brass movements, each clock carries the salt and soul of the Atlantic.

Whether you are a mariner tracking the lunar cycle, a collector seeking heirloom quality, or a coastal homeowner who loves the sea โ€” our clocks bring the tide into your home.

Where the Sea Meets the Workbench

Our workshop sits a quarter-mile from the Atlantic, where the sound of waves mixes with the tick of movements being assembled. Every LUXURY111 clock begins as raw material โ€” driftwood collected after winter storms, brass stock cast in small batches, glass smoothed by tumbling with beach pebbles.

We cut, shape, and finish each case by hand using traditional joinery and hand planes. Movements are cleaned, oiled, and regulated to marine-grade precision on our test bench. A single tide clock takes three days to complete โ€” not because the work is slow, but because patience is part of the craft.

We build clocks the way they were built a century ago: one at a time, with attention that no machine can replicate. The result is a timepiece that does more than tell time โ€” it connects you to the coast with every glance.

Our methods are deliberate but not secretive. We welcome visitors to the workshop by appointment, and we regularly share process videos and stories through our journal. We believe that when you understand how something is made, you value it more deeply.

Materials We Work With

Every material is chosen for its beauty, durability, and connection to the coastal environment that inspires our work.

๐Ÿชต

Reclaimed Driftwood

Sustainably harvested from shorelines after winter storms. Each piece is dried, stabilized, and hand-shaped to preserve its natural grain and character.

๐Ÿ”ฉ

Cast Brass

Solid brass components cast in small batches using traditional sand-casting methods. Develops a natural patina over time that enhances the nautical character.

๐Ÿชธ

Sea Glass

Tumbled sea glass collected from New England beaches. Each piece is hand-set into clock faces and decorative inlays, catching light like the surface of the tide.

โšก

Precision Movements

German- and Swiss-sourced quartz and mechanical movements, hand-regulated and tested against NOAA tidal data before assembly. Each movement is serialized and logged in our quality archive.

๐ŸŽจ

Hand-Applied Finishes

We use tung oil, shellac, and marine-grade varnish โ€” applied in multiple thin coats by hand. Each finish is buffed and cured to withstand coastal humidity, salt air, and temperature changes.

Understanding Tide Clocks

A tide clock tracks the rhythmic rise and fall of coastal waters using a specialized lunar movement โ€” different from any ordinary timepiece and essential for mariners and coastal homeowners alike.

What Is a Tide Clock?

A tide clock displays the current state of the tide using a single hand that completes one full rotation every 12 hours and 25 minutes โ€” the exact time between consecutive high tides. It shows whether the tide is rising, falling, or at slack water, giving mariners, anglers, and coastal homeowners a constant read on the ocean's rhythm without needing to consult a chart or app.

How the Movement Works

Unlike a standard clock movement that tracks 12-hour solar cycles, a tide clock movement is geared to the lunar day. Our movements feature precision Swiss- or German-made components, waterproof sealing for marine environments, and hand-adjusted regulation to ensure the tide hand stays synchronized with local tidal charts. A simple calibration adjustment at installation matches the hand to your local tide schedule.

Installation & Setup

Setting up a tide clock is straightforward. Mount the clock securely near a dock, boathouse, or coastal window. Set the tide hand to the current local tide level using NOAA tide data or a local tide table. The movement will track the lunar cycle automatically. We include full setup instructions and a tide chart reference with every clock.

Caring for Your Clock

Coastal environments demand robust timepieces. Our brass components are treated with a marine-grade lacquer to resist corrosion. Wipe the case with a dry cloth periodically. The movement is sealed against humidity. If you live in a salt-spray zone, we recommend an annual inspection โ€” we offer a complimentary check-up for all LUXURY111 owners.

Why Choose LUXURY111?

We pair precision movements with handcrafted cases made from reclaimed driftwood, solid brass, and sea glass. Each clock is assembled in our coastal workshop, tested against NOAA tidal data, and backed by a lifetime movement warranty. A LUXURY111 tide clock is as much a functional instrument as it is a piece of coastal art โ€” built to last generations.

What Sets Us Apart

LUXURY111 is built on principles that go beyond commerce โ€” rooted in coastal stewardship, traditional craftsmanship, and a belief that the things we own should be made to last.

๐ŸŒŠ

Coastal Stewardship

For every clock sold, we contribute to coastal restoration and marine habitat protection. Our driftwood is foraged responsibly, and we plant a dune grass for each order placed.

๐Ÿค

Built to Last

Every LUXURY111 clock carries a lifetime warranty on its movement and a guarantee that we will repair or replace any clock that fails due to materials or workmanship โ€” no questions asked.

โœ‹

Truly Handmade

We do not use CNC machines or assembly lines. Every case is cut, carved, and sanded by hand. Every movement is regulated by eye and ear. If it leaves our workshop, a person made it.

๐Ÿ“–

Education First

We believe in sharing knowledge. Each clock ships with a tide guide, a booklet on the history of nautical timekeeping, and access to our online library of clock care and coastal navigation resources. We also host seasonal workshops at our Maine studio.

"My LUXURY111 tide clock has been hanging on our dock house for three seasons now. The brass has developed a beautiful patina that matches the weathered shingles perfectly. The tide tracking is spot on โ€” verified against our local tide table. It has become a conversation piece for every guest who visits."

"I build custom clocks as a hobby and ordered a set of the day-of-week motors and hands. The quality exceeded my expectations โ€” smooth engagement, perfectly cut pinions, and the hands have a lovely heft to them. The brass work is exceptional. I will be ordering again for my next project."
