Howard Miller 620-132 Lancaster Wall Clock Review

Howard Miller 620-132 Lancaster Wall Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I chose this clock as a 10 year gift from my former employer. If I knew I'll have to wind it every week, I'd have chosen something else. Initially, I adjusted the pendulum's swing everyday to try to optimize the accuracy of time. Perhaps the room's fluctuating temperatures affected the clock's mechanics or something but the it was always two or three minutes off after every week. I gave up the adjustments and after a year or so, the clock is now at least five minutes ahead every week. I didn't mind winding the clock every week initially but eventually, it got annoying. If I forget to wind it, it'll die in less than a week. The chime is quite loud and can be disruptive at night, even though the clock is downstairs and I sleep on the second level. The volume cannot be adjusted so I simply shut it off. For whatever reason, shutting off the chime affected the clock at times; the clock would just die even though it was recently wound. All this attention is too much for a clock that's about $650. Besides, the color is dark cherry and doesn't work with my furnishings. I would much prefer a battery operated clock, such as River City's 6023C, that costs much less (usually less than $200) and offers much better features, such as keeping much better time, adjustable chimes and looks just as beautiful.

Brookwood™ Wall Clock Review

Brookwood™ Wall Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is truly a splendid clock! I bought it about 2 years ago, and I am happy with both the sound of it's chime and it's looks. Some assembly is required, as the top has an ornemant that sets easily into a slot, and you must screw three other fixtures into the bottom of the clock once you have it successfully mounted on the wall: Not to worry, as
those go on quite easily, as well.
Although I am wary of recieving such fragile items as clocks in the mail, this one has worked splendidly without a moment's problem.
You do need to use a level to make certain the clock is going to chime right, but these clocks do vary slightly from clock to clock... where one might need to be perfectly level to make the pendulum swing just right and not stop. They might not always need to be perfectly level - I have three Kassel clocks, and one needs to be perfectly level to function properly - the other two won't function perfectly if they are completely level!
Finding that right level for each individual clock is somewhat tedious, but worth it.. I made a small line on the wall for each clock to line up with, and that helps greatly.
The pendulum will need to be adjusted, too, in order to find the right speed for the pendulum to swing, for this is the part of the clock that helps it keep the time.
To adjust it, turn the weight at the bottom.. to the right to speed it up, and to the left to make it slower.
I like the chime very much on this clock.
This clock is a replica of a more famous and prohibitively exspensive antique clock, and you will be quite happy with it's looks and strong, cheerful chime. I know I am! Mine just chimed six o'clock a few minutes ago. I am glad I bought it.. and so will you.

This is a great clock - beautiful and fits well with my decor. The chime is pretty nice, not a cheap, tinny sound. Instructions were not clear on set-up. Took me a long time to get it set so that it would actually chime - went through the routine many times. Now that it does chime consistently, I love it! Good features are volume control and automatic night-time shut-off

Even though I love key-wound clocks, I wanted a quartz because it has volume control. I wasn't expecting the chimes to sound so real! It's actually kind of hard to tell the difference, the tones are that organic and have the same dissonant harmony, especially with the Westminster carol. Really beautiful case too, although I wish it was a little more modern and came in a darker finish.

Howard Miller Frenwick Quartz Wall Clock Review

Howard Miller Frenwick Quartz Wall Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For this price you would think you're getting a quality clock, but not this one. The back of the clock has a piece of cheap plywood or fiber board half way up the clock. The rest is open for where you set the time and chimes. There is a cheap plastic pendulum holder, and the time and chime setting knob is cheap plastic too. The brass pendulum is part plastic as well. Since the back of the clock is open, dust will settle in the bottom and cleaning it will be difficult. The moon phase is stamped on and it looks awful and cheap. I've seen $50.00 clocks that look and are built better then this. Save your money. Don't buy this clock.

River City Clocks Chiming Regulator Wall Clock with Swinging Pendulum and Oak Finish - 24 Inches Tall - Model # 6023O Review

River City Clocks Chiming  Regulator Wall Clock with Swinging Pendulum and Oak Finish - 24 Inches Tall - Model # 6023O
Average Reviews:

The pendulum wall clock is a beautiful addition to my livingroom. The design and finish are stunning. The construction is solid. It truly adds a rich elegance to the room. It has a night silence feature which is nice, but since the volume of the chimes is adjustable, I have chosen to have it ring at the same level all day.
Only two things for me that brings this down from a 5 rating.
1 The clock does not tick. I was hoping for the gentle "tick tocking" I would expect a clock like this to have
2 The chime lacks a deep bell tone. The Westminster chime is beautiful, don't misunderstand, but sometimes it sounds just a bit electronic (which it is) rather than the sound of a true chime.

I have ordered from this company before. You get top quality for the money. Not some cheaply made China crap. This clock is heavy and solid. I thought it might have been a little small, but it's perfect where I have it mounted. I guess my only complaint would be is the chime sounds a little like a service bell. It would have been nice if the chime was a deeper sound.
This item arrived within 3 days. Fast service. It was packed well too.

Timeworks' Leonardo series is as much a fascinating combination of elements to consider them art as they are instruments to tell the time of day. Mini Leonardo clocks are available as a wall or table clock and with a black or cream dial. All have a brass gear plate that is a reproduction of a clock escapement - the part of a clock which, together with the pendulum (internal or external), regulates the time. Requires AA Battery. Black clocks have gold-colored Roman numerals while the cream clocks designate time with black bars; all have brass accents that add to the beauty of the clock. The Mini Leonardo clock is a great choice for a smaller space including a foyer, hall, den or dining nook. This clock also makes a great gift. Timeworks began with three brothers and an idea - to create a line of affordable, functional and beautiful historically authentic clocks.Timeworks clocks are made individually, by hand, in the U.S.A. - most of them at our factory in Berkeley, California. We use the finest components available - solid, hand-antiqued brass for cases and pendulums, die-cut steel hands with time-worn patinas and beautifully finished frames. Our quartz clock movements are the finest obtainable to ensure reliability and trouble-free service. After more than 15 years in business, Timeworks continues to create quality clocks that are innovative and original, clocks you'll be proud to give as gifts and pleased to own.

I give Bulova a standing ovation! This is an extraordinary timepiece of fine quality. I'm pleased to say the clock far exceeded my expectations! The movement is a 5-Jewel, Keininger which operates precisely by a balance wheel. The triple chimes is the crown jewel of this clock! The craftmanship is superb to say the least...being able to see the movement and the chimes play is an added bonus. This clock tells a lot more than merely the time -- this is a showpiece of museum quality, in my opinion.

This is a nicely constructed cabinet with fine details .. worth the price.
The downside is the chimes start out clear and sharp and degrade over time (less than a week) so that it sounds like a dying battery. The battery is fine, it just seems to lose energy during the day. I'm surprised that Seiko did not figure this out before they started shipping this item.
With the exception of the chime issue, it's a very nice piece.
