How does a tide clock work?

Answer 1

The tide makes one complete cycle (high, low, high l) every 12 hours & 25 minutes. So a tide clock moves at the right speed to point to the nexty tide. A time clock, moves at the right speed to pont to each minute, every sixty seconds and one hour every sixty minutes.

Its period is about 12 hours and 25.2 minutes, exactly half a tidal lunar day, the average time separating one lunar zenith from the next, and thus the time required for the Earth to rotate once relative to the Moon. This is the constituent tracked by simple tide clocks.[6]
