Discover our Lunar Calendar and Tide Calculator, a unique handcrafted piece designed by our team at Dracolite. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Spain, this instrument combines tradition and precision.
This perpetual lunar phase calendar features a tide abacus on the back, inspired by British Renaissance instruments. It allows for accurate tracking of lunar cycles and their effects on tides.
Designed to precisely predict the times of tidal changes, this tool relies on the close relationship between the Moon's rotation around the Earth and the maritime variations it causes.
The Tide Calculator is a traditional abacus used to estimate these key moments. Its design is inspired by 16th and 17th-century instruments, including astronomical collections, volvelles, and ancient abacuses.
Made of brass with a wooden base, this set also includes booklets detailing its historical context and how to use it, making this object a true treasure for history and astronomy enthusiasts.
