Nautical maps can inspire seaside daydreams as well as provide a wealth of information for safe sailing. With coastal outlines and depth markings, boaters can begin to read the topography of the world away from land. Provide us with your favorite U.S. town or landmark that is located on the coastline of the Atlantic or Pacific (including Alaska and Hawaii) or the Great Lakes, and artisans in New England will screen-print a local chart on rustic, tumbled marble to create an analog clock.
Comes ready to hang, or use our forged-steel easel (sold separately) to display the clock as a desk accessory. If you'd like a clock featuring an inland waterway, please see our National Geographic "My Town" TOPO! Map Clock.
Please note: To avoid errors and delays with your order, you must provide the name of a town or landmark that is located along a coastal waterway. Personalized items cannot be returned unless damaged or defective. Please check your order carefully; once placed, your order for this item cannot be canceled. Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery. Expedited shipping is not available for this item.
One AA battery, not included. 8" square.
Our rustic tiles are carved from large marble blocks, ensuring that no two stones will ever be exactly alike. Then the pieces are tumbled to give them character that can be seen on every surface, edge, and corner. The result is a one-of-a-kind keepsake with more personality that would be possible from a piece of manufactured ceramic. Please see additional images for an example of a tumbled marble tile.

Comments about Custom Nautical Tile Clock:
The clock and easel made an excellent gift for the person who loves to boat or fish and the purchase could not have been made any easier without Nat Geo Store's Customer Service Dept. A slight discrepancy occurred regarding a zipcode vs geographic nautical depiction which was immediately corrected after a phone call to the Nat Geo Store Customer Service Department. My giftee received the gift in time for Christmas and I could not have been more pleased by both the Nat Geo Store and it's vendor.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Custom Nautical Tile Clock:
This is really unique looking, catches the eye. We have it in a large entertainment center and it really stands out. Be careful to choose a shoreline or location with depth and character. Needs a secure shelf to sit on, if it fell, it would not survive the fall. Be sure to get the easel, it finishes the look.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Custom Nautical Tile Clock:
It did take a little time to get this clock right. After being disappointed with the placement of the waterway on the first clock I received (it was placed far to the right, under the 3)---it was redone and I was satisfied with it. It is a beautiful piece!

Comments about Custom Nautical Tile Clock:
I purchased two tile clocks, both for gifts. The quality of the tile is substantial and very high-end. At my age, gift giving becomes difficult because my friends have or buy everything they want or need. I am quite certain my friends do not yet know how much they want and need this beautiful, personalized clock. I definitely plan to purchase more in the future and have already shared this gift idea with others.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Custom Nautical Tile Clock:
Plan to give this timeless gift to an avid fisherman in my family. It is extremely well made; durable and heavy. I love that it is printed on tile and has the weathered, rough edges that make this clock even more unique. I plan to order many more of these as future gifts. Perfect as a retirement gift, Christmas gift, birthday, Father's Day......and definitely something for the person who has everything!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
