The tide indicator
The time from the highest position of the sun one day to the highest position the next day is 24 hours. But for the moon it is 24 hours, 50 minutes and 28 seconds. Therefore the ebb and flow cycle can only be displayed with a watch if the time is 50 minutes and 20 seconds longer than a normal day. Therefore a normal watch cannot display the cycle between high and low tide, but needs a special tide clock/tide graph/tide indicator. Delite produces in Denmark with the help of suppliers in France and Germany.
