Eb- en Vloedgetij: GETIJKLOK van Jacob Venker "With the hand as a gauging rod"

Custom made clock that tells the tide and tidal streams for your local port and beach

Its mechanism and computer feature a complex calculation combining the lunar and 93 other harmonics.Therefore it is far more accurate than any other existing type of tide clock. The usual cumulative time deviations regularly add up to more than two hours. These clocks reduce it to less than five minutes.
