SEIKO Stately Dark Brown Solid Oak Case Wall Clock with Pendulum and Chime

The media could not be loaded. This clock is absolutely beautiful and the sound is beautiful. The set up was very easy and it arrived on time. The color is a rich mahogany and very expensive looking, good solid case! It matched my furniture perfectly, very accurate clock as well! I highly recommend this purchase !

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.

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 7/9/15I 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.

Very beautiful it makes my house look different. Beautiful sound. Good price.

This clock is perfect..it keeps perfect time. looks like a miniature grandfather clock. Very Happy with this purchase

Purchased this Seiko wall clock because I wanted a large wall clock that would chime. Originally wanted a mechanical but found I could not afford that kind of wall clock. Since I purchased 2 Seiko chiming table clocks around 12 years ago and both of them continue to work perfectly, I decided to stay with Seiko. The clock keeps excellent time. Uses only one battery which lasts forever it seems and the quality of the chimes is excellent. The chime quality on my other desk clocks is also excellent and that is why I stayed with Seiko. Listened to other brands and found the chimes very digital sounding.Some reviewers find taking the clock off the wall to adjust the volume, time, etc. a nuisance but once the volume is determined, one only has to change the time twice a year if you have daylight savings time. Since the clock is only 13lbs, it is not heavy to remove and one can place back on the hook easily. Used a 50lb hook to be safe and it hooks securely. The pendulum is also very nice. I consider this a high quality wall clockclock The pendulum is only for decorative purposes anyway and does not contribute to keeping time.Looking forward to having this clock for many years to come. Also, I discovered Seiko provides a replacement mechanism if the it should break so that is nice to know. I could swap out the mechanicals if necessary.Update: November 2018: The wall clock continues to run flawlessly. Just changed the time due to the end of daylight savings time. Very happy with this purchase.

What a beautiful clock. My childhood clock stopped working 2 years ago but kept it on the wall.Received this in December. The chime is beautiful. Has 2 different ones. My old clock was a key wind up in which I couldn’t find . This runs on 1 C battery.That’s fine. I love this clock. Stops chiming from 11 pm and starts back up at 6am. So very happy with this clock. I hope it serves my home many years like my old clock did.

It's a very pretty clock but even sitting close to the clock, it's really hard to see the face and see what time it is. It's very reflective of the light and unless we get up and stand in front of it, we can't read the time. Bummer, it wasn't cheap.😔
