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.
