Our previous pendulum clock fell off the wall. So we had to replace it and found this one. We are so happy with this clock. It came with its own hangar, which ended up being really nice because of the type of hanging system that is on the back of the clock. It sits really well in that hanging system. Making us feel confident that it will not fall off the wall. It chimes on every quarter hour. Which took a little time getting used to, but we really do like it with that feature. Add the quarter hour at times 4 times at the half hour. At times eight times at the three quarters hour at times twelve times and on the full hour at times sixteen times and then does the bell toll for the hour number. It seems quite excessive except for most of the time you don’t even end up hearing it because you are busy with other things. It also comes with a feature that keeps it silent at night.

This Seiko wall clock is an attractive addition to my office wall…This clock was easy to assemble, set time and chime features and it’s very accurate to the second..There were other attractive clocks available, but I chose this one because of the Seiko name and because I have never had a bad product from Seiko. You’ll like this clock!

Antique look, great accuracy, no winding. Great hourly and quarterly chime.

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.

At first the sound was distracting. I set it to chime every 15min not every hour. Now, I am use to it and find it soothing and convenient. Every chime after the melody is the hour. Love it!

I have had it for a few weeks and it is one of the most satisfying purchases I have made. The clock is the highlight of my home. The wood color is somewhere between a walnut and subtle cherry. The gold numbers and face decorations are raised, there are detailed designs on the wood front. The clock has the option of two different chime tunes, one the traditional Westminister heard in large park bell towers and England, the other another traditional one. It chimes every 15 minutes, with 1/4 of the tune at the 15 and 45 minutes position, 1/2 the tune at the 30 minute position, and the full tune on the hour with associated number of chimes. The friend who set the clock up for me adjusted the clock volume per my request to chime soft enough so as not to interfere with the television, yet still be audible. It is programmed to stop chiming between 10:45 pm and resume at 6:00 am. The pendulum is silent and moves back and forth inside the glass case. Beautiful clock with substantial quality that people are taken aback by when they see it.

I love this clock – it’s heavy! – drywall anchor required. The dark wood needs a lighted area to appreciate the grain IMO. It’s beautiful! Silent tick and deep chimes that can be shut off. Love it!!! Worth the money for me.

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.

Such an elegant look, easy to figure out, just got it this afternoon, it’s hanging on my office wall keeping time in such a beautiful way. Chimes just went off. It’s perfect!
Extremely pleased with this purchase. Thanks Seiko!

I am a collector of Seiko watches and this clock is a fine example of craftsmanship, functionality and beauty, just like their watches. I am proud to have this clock displayed in my home

Wife loves it. Two options for the chime – we use the Westminster. Volume control works well. We have it set low enough to not be a pain during the day and then have the night-silence option chosen so it doesn’t chime at all from 11pm to 6am. It is pretty and it works. The only negative to me is that the controls (volume, options, time set, battery compartment) are all only available from the back. There is no front or side door. The result is that to turn it up or down or change the chime settings or change the battery you have to take it off the wall. Not the best maintenance approach.
