Bedford Clock Collection BED1247CHR Weathered Wall Clock with Pendulum, Cherry Wood

What caught my eye first was the light cherry oak color that would match my curtains and some furniture. Second were the slight curves top and bottom and clean side columns, giving a softer feeling than the sharp edges and jagged trim of other clocks. I was looking for a pleasant looking clock, not a mini cathedral. So I decided against the gargoyles and steeples. The wood framed glass door with magnetic latch is a nice touch with a pretty gold trim on the glass. The clock face with easy to read roman numerals and hands are fairly fancy but nice to look at, not drawing attention from the rest of the clock. The board the clock mechanism is mounted on is not much to look at, a thin piece of wood colored fiber board with an unfinished edge on the bottom. Seems to keep good time so far and the artsy looking fancy pendulum with what looks like a stringed musical Lyre instrument, swings much like a real one. Not a big fan of the electronic noise boxes in these things, but its ok for the time being. Not much of an audio selection or options for half hour bell. I like that you can control the volume. I already have a mechanical Thomas mantle clock that tick-tocks, so wasn't looking for that bit of ambiance. All in all, a beautiful clock for the price. A very nice case to later upgrade the clock mechanism at least to an actual gravity winding style with the large pine cone pull chains. I think most people would find this a nice addition to any wall in there home at a decent budget price. Not a gaudy looking clock, yet not a plain one.

Love the clock. It looks just like a mechanical clock but much easier to maintain. This made a nice functional replacement for the mechanical clock that I no longer have access to a repair service. I wish there was a way to have it chime during the nighttime hours as well as daytime hours. Also might be nice to choose whether it would tick or not. Otherwise no complaints.

All I'm going to say is "This Company is a Buyer be Ware Situation". Do not expect to receive any kind of assistance from them; not even a simple answer to my "your" mails for help. Never again will I buy one of their products! Disgruntled in Rock Tavern, NY.(3-Problem Clocks in less than 13 months. I kept thinking that this won't happen again...ha...ha...ha...Wrong)

Very good value. Keeps accurate time. Looks very nice on parlor wall. Wish it chimed louder, wish it chimed all night. I expect clocks three or four times as expensive might do that. Reviews told me about I might expect that. Took me a while to figure out how to get the chimes to match the hour, but it can be done. Instructions are not well written in the English language, but they work. Any home should enjoy this clock.

We personalized this clock and gifted it to a couple for their wedding. The clock is beautiful, and all we did was add a plaque (bought from a trophy store locally) The plaque on the too says "Love is timeles love like purse will stand the test of time." On the bottom we added another plaque with their names and wedding date. They cried when they saw it. It is truly a beautiful clock. The sounds it plays are beautiful, and it has volume control. I want to buy one for my house too.

I love this clock! Very nice and elegant. I wanted to replicate the clock/chime that I grew up with and this does it perfectly. The packaging was great! The flap that I am holding with my hand goes on top of the clock for protection. No damage and quick delivery.

Horrible quality, the chimes sound terrible, and what they don't tell you is that the chimes do not work from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. barely keeps time and looks like it should be in the finest single wide trailer in town!

Lots of flaws. Clock face was slightly damaged. Screw holes in back were off centered. But otherwise nice clock.
