Extreme Performance, Durable Design, Refined Aesthetics. Hook + Gaff Crafts New King Tide Watch
LEXINGTON, S.C., Oct. 30, 2018 — Founded out of necessity, Hook + Gaff Watch Companyhas crafted another watch combining classic design principles with extreme performance. The South Carolina-based watch company has officially announced that the new King Tide Watch will be available for pre-sale on November 1, 2018.
Tide watches track the water’s tidal cycle for a specific location, showing the times for high and low tides. Tides affect not just where you can fish but what you’re fishing for. Knowing these conditions is extremely useful for coastal fisherman, and salso helps surfers know when the wave conditions will be best, and for recreational boaters that don’t want to risk the embarrassment of getting stuck on a sandbar.
But the Hook + Gaff King Tide watch has a unique edge. The King Tide watch is analog, as opposed to most other tide watches on the market being digital. “There is a shift back to analog tide watches. Most digital tide watches have specific preprogrammed locations, like for Charleston and Wilmington for example. But the tides in those neighboring areas can be drastically different and more dramatic, so your tide watch won’t always be accurate.
Our analog tide watch is awesome because it has the ability to set the precise stage of the tide for your location.” said Michael Sims, founder of Hook + Gaff Watch Company.
The Hook + Gaff King Tide watch’s analog tide indicator provides precision and accuracy to set the local tide anywhere on earth, and boasts all of the necessary features needed to support you while you’re out on the water. Unlike other outdoor watches where the digital technology will soon be outdated or style is too bulky, Hook + Gaff watches are designed with a classic and timeless style that you can wear at any occasion.
