   I don’t get why people are saying this clock is hard to set up. You just put the batteries in, set the time, hang the pendulum and that’s it. Hanging on wall within 5 mins of opening the box. Seems to be keeping good time and sounds great!! I hope it lasts. Love it!

   This was a replacement for a 1910s wind-up family antique that was getting too awkward to wind yet my dad really liked hearing the chimes. This sounds a bit computerized or “tinny” but is very, very close. Minor quibbles: at the 3/4 hour there’s a pause as it first plays the 1/2 hour recording, then a follow-up clip. You might not notice if you didn’t have decades of knowing what a real one sounded like. There’s also a pause before the hour chimes and they’re a bit higher pitched than they feel like they “should” be. None of that is a deal breaker. I wish the same music portion came with different designs because I think the “harp” thing in the pendulum looks a bit goofy but maybe if I were a more cultured person I would understand what that’s supposed to represent.

   I am happy with the clock, it is beautiful, and was happily surprised when I discovered the clock counts the hour. Would have been nice if it would strike once on the half-hour (as opposed to the quarter hour), but I’m still delighted with it. The chimes don’t sound cheap, keeps accurate time, love it!

   Muy bonito es loq ue esperaba calidad y diseño – July 13, 2024

   Beautiful clock to replace 37 year old bulova gifted on 25th anniversary. Very similar in style and chime. In fact some of the kids didn’t notice the new style but that the chime was working again.

   Muy buen diseño , exelente sonido y material está hermoso , lo único un poco malo es que está un poco más pequeño de acuerdo a las mediciones especificadas y a simple vista si se ve más pequeño , pero en todas las demás categorías está perfecto

   I love this clock; just what I wanted. I would rate it down a bit, maybe a 4.5 if I could, because the directions were a bit difficult to follow. However, if you are a logical, patient person who enjoys a bit of a challenge, you will be fine. This sweet clock keeps perfect time and the chimes are deep and pretty for a small clock. I like that there is a pendulum, even though it’s just decorative. The most difficult part was the necessity to give the pendulum a slight swing to get it started; really that’s a two person job. You can’t stand the clock up on a flat surface because of the decorative piece on the bottom. So I took the back off, propped the clock on a counter (with the decorative piece extending over the counter) with the clock facing away from me, gave the pendulum a swing and it started right away. Then, I couldn’t lay the clock down (that would stop the pendulum) and awkwardly held the clock upright with the decorative piece on the edge of the counter so the clock could stay upright. Then, I had to screw the back on again, really a two person job. I held the clock upright using my chin. Anywho, it worked, and now it’s just the right clock. Update: June 7, 2017 – the chimes began donging 1 number less than the hour time about 2 weeks ago. Now, the chimes are completely random and not connected with time at all. Each hour gets a random number of dongs from 1-12. I’ve contacted customer support (212 497 1864). I hope they can help as I really like this clock.

   It’s perfect, I can adjust the volume which is awesome. It reminds me of the clock my grandparents used to have. Such an amazing clock and built beautifully.

    This clock has three settings with adjustable volume for the sound. This is a great feature as many chiming clocks don’t have it.

    Clock was just what I wanted. Beautiful even close up, no ticking and really loud time bongs.
    HOWEVER — what I didn’t like was the shipping. It came in original soft packaging box that one would walk out of a store with. Also the Bulova name in bold letters on box was left facing the street for anyone walking by could see. Just lucky nothing was broken. This type of packaging should be put into a larger box for shipping.
