Bulova Dalton Chiming Pendulum Table Clock - Walnut Finish - Gold-Tone Accents

After realizing that attempting to own and maintain any actual working antique mantle clock was not cost effective in this day and age, we begrudgingly relegated ourselves to a battery-operated clock with faux chime. This clock appeared to come out on top amongst Amazon’s offerings at this price tier so we decided to give it a shot. We love it. I was concerned that it would look and sound cheap, but it doesn’t. It has a classy high quality look, and even the “chime” has a reasonably convincing percussive sound rather than a tinny electronic recording sound. Initial setup is a *little* tedious, but not particularly difficult. You’ll just need to give it your undivided attention for about 5 minutes or less to properly set the clock and then move on with your life. It’s been about 2 or 3 months now and has kept time consistently thus far. I can be anywhere in the house looking at a clock on my phone, computer, an appliance, digital alarm clock, etc, and I can count on hearing that chime from our living room on the hour, right on time. I appreciate the volume control and night time mode — which we use — that silences the chime on the hours of 11pm thru 5am.

This clock is incredible value for the cost. Itis delightful! Its well made, with easy access to settings. What really wowed me was the sound. For a more or less mini- type version of a wall Schoolhouse Regulator, there is nothing mini about the sound. Theere is no tin-like tone to the chimes, and it keeps time perfectly, matching my automatic atomic time keeping clock. Readability is relative to the quality if your eyesight & distance. I only use readers for close up but I can easily read it from 6ft away.

We bought this Bulova clock for its nostalgic style and the Big Ben hourly chime. As opposed to the much more expensive plastic imitations, this Bulova clock is made from real wood -- and it sounds like wood. It is a beautiful and expertly finished wooden piece that fits perfectly our 19th and 20th century living room furniture. The clock-work is obviously modern, but so far -- after about a month -- it has been very accurate. A welcome modern touch is the option of switching off the bongs from 11 o'clock at night to 5 o'clock in the morning.

Beautiful clock! Small, lovely clock face, and I love the pendulum. I’m also enjoying the chimes at low volume. Took off a star because the instructions for setting up the time and the chimes are really confusing and unclear. For example, there’s a big warning not to turn the hands backwards, followed by instructions to turn them counter-clockwise, and syncing the chimes to the clock was so hard to figure out. It seems to be working now, but it was a hassle for such an expensive clock.

Amazing clock. Very well mad, keeps time perfectly, the chimes pretty realistic. I am very happy with it. Easy to setup, if you read the manual.

This is a beautiful clock; great quality, great chime that automatically shuts off at 10:00 PM and perfect size for a shelf. Would also look nice on a mantal.

Nice clock, love the chiming

It will not chime the hour properly. The directions for setup are not accurate. There are no youtube videos for this model. The setup did not go according to the instructions what so ever. Setting the time per directions to 5:50 then inserting batteries is supposed to make the clock reset to 5:45. Nothing happens. You are supposed to be able to press a red button to set the number of times it chimes representing the hour but only it if doesn't work properly on its own. This has not worked. for example, at 5:00 PM sometimes it chimes 5 times sometimes 6 or seven. Setting for the AM or PM function makes no difference. It plays the tunes properly on the hour but the chime representing the hour will not work. Now I have to take the time to drive back to a store and get a refund. Not worth your time. It is made it China, so that accounts for much of the poor quality and poor instructions.

This surpassed my expectations. It is not that easy to set up, but once it is the clock keeps perfect time, the chimes are very rich sounding, and the night time shut-off feature is very smart. I am really happy with this handsome purchase, which looks much more expensive than it is. Bravo, Bulova!

Envio rápido. Produto bonito decorativo, além de ter um som agradável

Está hermoso y funciona de Maravilla, el toque de campanas es muy padre. Lo super r comiendo

Smart looking clock, arrived on time well packed. Really pleased with the lovely chimes which can be as loud or as soft as required. Good value for the price.

Die Uhr ist wirklich sehr schön und hat einen fantastischen Klang. Meine Erwartungen hat dieser Klang jedenfalls weit übertroffen. Auch Optik und Qualität sind ohne Beanstandungen. Eine tolle Kamin/Tischuhr zu einem günstigen Preis.
