The Herne Bay Clock Tower was the first freestanding tidal clock tower in the world. Built in 1839 on the Herne Bay seafront in Kent it has over its 176-year history become a much-loved landmark of the town.

- Fixtures include Philips ColorBlast Powercores and other RGB units across all four sections of the tower, and all are managed and controlled from a Pharos TPC
- Pharos Designer software enables a tidal-linked colour-changing scheme through a scripted program which utilises a comprehensive database of tidal information. At low tide the top section is illuminated in red, subtly changing to green at high tide.
