SEIKO QXH004BLH Oak Wood Pendulum Wall Clock with Chimes, Dark Brown, 28 x 12.5 x 6 Inches

This really is a nice clock. Made mostly of what appears to be real wood, it is very elegant. It seems that they did not skimp anywhere on this time piece! Even the individual 1-12 numerals are individual "gold numerals" and NOT just "printed on a dial".(Gold color, not real gold I assume) The clock keeps very good time and the batteries last for many months so it is also very efficiently designed. This is my second one (this one is a gift) so I have had the first one for about a year and it is still on the first battery. You can control the volume and you can deactivate the chimes at night if that is your thing. You have 2 different chime sound options. It is very easy to set, just put it to the correct time and it chimes the right amount of times. You don't need to "synchronize" it or wait at every hour like older clocks (well...I didn't and it works like clockwork...pun intended). It is a bit of a hassle to turn the hands with the small "gear" in the back but you shouldn't have to do it but a handful of times over the life of the clock so not such a big deal. The bottom line is: This is a high quality, very expensive looking, wooden clock made my Seiko so you are buying into proven quality and I feel like they delivered. It looks and feels more expensive than it is (IMO). It keeps very good time. It DOES NOT suck the life out of batteries like low quality clocks, it is somewhat flexible in sounds meaning you can choose from 2 different chimes, you have control over volume and you can kill the sound altogether if you choose. If you want something made of wood, built nicely, with the old fashioned sounding Westminster chimes then this is definitely worth the price Amazon is asking.

Very nice clock. Exceeded my expectations. The only thing you can hear is clock chiming, otherwise it is very quiet. It was a very easy setup.

Arrived on time. Clock is beautiful and keeps time perfect. The sound is nice, sounds like church chime….Happy with purchase and would HIGHLY recommend! Thank You!

It's a beautiful clock and seems to keep good time, but the pendulum doesn't work in mine. Specifically, it will swing back and forth but it won't keep going - it stops after a few minutes. There doesn't seem to be any indication in the instructions as to how to deal with this. The speaker is tinny sounding, but the controls for the speaker volume and choice of melodies work well. I guess I just got a dud. If you want a beautiful clock - and you get one that works correctly - this is a good choice. UPDATE 7/9/15 I figured out what was wrong with my pendulum. After examining the back mechanism for a while, I realized that the black plastic piece has a coil at the bottom that is supposed to be producing a magnetic charge opposite one that should be on the front of the top of the pendulum. There was no magnet on the pendulum, however, and that's why it would lose momentum. I think it was supposed to ship with a magnet on the black plastic piece at the top of the pendulum. Fortunately, I had some very small, thin magnets with good power that I stuck on there. The pendulum now continues to swing as it was supposed to. So to summarize - if your pendulum doesn't swing with a new battery in it, put a thin (but fairly strong) magnet on the black plastic piece at the top of the pendulum. If you have the magnet there and it doesn't swing, change the battery (it powers the coil that creates the opposing charge to push your magnet and pendulum). Since the clock works with a simple fix, I upgraded from three stars to four - not five, though, because it needed that fix.

BEAUTIFUL!!! In every way this clock is beautiful. The clock face has scroll work, the penduleum has raised / embossed scroll work, the glass front has a lovely gold border and the reed columns have brass details. It fits perfectly between two windows, please note the smaller size when you order. It has an adjustable volumn control and the tone is very soothing. You can't go wrong with the clock.

Such a lovely clock and well made. If there would be one way to improve upon it, I would say they need to make more of these clocks that allow you to access the hands from the front, instead of taking the clock off the wall twice a year when daylight savings time starts or ends. I love the chimes and the dark wood matches my decor perfectly

This is a beautiful clock. There is quite a bit of glare on the face but can still tell the time. The movement is smooth and even, but the chimes quit working after a short 3 months. Have taken the clock down and checked the battery (still plenty of charge) and made sure that the chimes were turned on and the volume high enough to be heard over normal house noise. Both were set properly; the chimes just won't chime. Of course the support expires after 60 days so no help that way. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know of a help number I could call? thanks.

Perfect!!! I got tired of winding my old clock, every time I did it become unbalanced. Trying to balanced it was a nightmare. I bought this one battery operated, no winding and very nice looking. Best decision

The watch is absolutely amazing but unfortunately the one I got had a big crack on the top so I had to return it, I would order it agin but I'm worries that I will get the same watch that I have return

Good quality finish Easy to setup & mounting 2x chimes as stated in listing Only negative (subjective) is that you cannot select for quarterly, half-hourly or hourly chimes. It's all or nothing. I went with the chimes being on (set to mute between 11pm and 6am) initially but found it was overbearing with the clock chiming every 15 mins. So now I have a lovely (and silent) clock. Why in this electronic age one cannot select between these 3 options escapes me. Otherwise a 5 Star clock!

This seiko wall clock was more than I was expecting. It is a solid oak cabinet with a Seiko time piece in the back. Assembly was easy but I found adjustments were hard as it needed taking down off the wall and the volume knob was small. I did know this from reviews I had read. One other thing is it seems to chime slowly. Hmm I think that is normal. But sound is beautiful.

Keeps accurate time. Easy to set up. However, most importantly my wife absolutely loves it. Excellent quality.

very well made .. looks really nice.. perfect size
