Stylish. Modern. Eco. How did you come up with the idea for this product? Living and working ashortwalk from the sea, we are always acutely aware of how useful it is to know what the tide is doing, whether you’re sailing, surfing or just walking the dog on the beach. A wall clock seemed the easiest and most convenient way of displaying the tide, just a quick glance and you can start planning your day. What makes your product special? "A tide clock is very functional, it has a very clear and useful purpose rather than just being ‘the next fashion statement’. It genuinely helps people get more from their day and enjoy the sea or coastline which can never be a bad thing. To help the environment all our products are designed with longevity in mind, the clear, simple clean design means it will fit within most tastes and homes and won’t be thrown away because ‘orange’ is no longer in fashion. " What has been the best part of your startup experience? Seeing something that was once just an idea, a little something in the back of your mind whilst cutting the lawn come to life, become something tangible, useful, helpful. Being able to make that idea from recycled materials and so contribute in some way to helping society is also greatly rewarding. It’s nice to know that a business you started from scratch is in some way contributing rather than just existing for one persons benefit. Review: Looks great - Really liked this clock the thickness and accuracy make it just perfect for our Devon holiday home. Review: Poor quality clock mechanism - When it works, it’s great. However the clock component is a cheap, poor quality, generic plastic affair, which frequently fails despite having new batteries installed. It’s a false economy from ‘A Short Walk’ - I would happily pay a couple of extra quid for the same clock if it meant it was more robust and reliable.
