This Bristol 'High Water' clock is an exptional example in many aspects including the high quality mahogany case with the original fretwork top section so often found missing.


The painted dial is an early example and the moon dial to the arch displays the time of the high tide at Bristol


The tidal dial is significant -  Bristol Quay could only be accessed at high tide and has the second highest tidal reach in the world.
