This clock is absolutely beautiful. I bought it to put on our mantle and was a bit skeptical that a clock at this price point would be very nice. I read the other reviews and placed my order. The clock arrived the next day and upon unpacking I was completely amazed at how handsome it actually was. At a bit over 13 inches I was concerned it would look too small on our mantle but I was wrong. This clock is quite well made and the tone of the chimes is extremely impressive. I love the adjustable volume which allows you to hear the clock without it being annoying!! Seiko has mad a winner here! As I am writing this I hear it chiming downstairs!! Love it. Great product and great service Amazon!
