Seiko Clocks Wooden Mantel Clock QXJ013B

Exactly what I was looking for. Very well made, got a bit of weight to it. Nice size. I wanted a clock that chimed the Whittington Chimes and this one does (you can also set it for the Westminster Chimes). Volume is loud, but you can lower or higher the volume as you want. Option to turn off the chimes overnight. Arrived well packaged and easy to set up, but it does say in the instructions to give it 24 hours to settle into the correct chimes pattern, and mine did take this long - don’t panic, it sorts itself out! Keeps good time. Very easy to read the clock face. Lovely chimes on the quarter hours, quite a mellow, deep chime which is very beautiful. Sounds and looks more expensive than it is. Very pleased with this clock indeed.

I wanted a traditional clock when redecorating our dining room. The house is early 20th C so this is a perfect style match. It's a lovely clock, good quality, nice weight and wood. It's a good size for a mantle piece. Only comment is that in some lights the handle position can be difficult to see straight away in the centre of the dial. The chimes are really mellow - I'd been worried they might be tinny but the sound is rounded. You can't hear the ticking at all. You can't opt to run it without the chimes, but the volume dial means that you can get the sound to an agreeable level. The night control is really useful - no chimes from 23:45 until around 5:30 I think - as everything is so quiet at the moment when it gets late. I've had it a week. It is definitely worth the money on first experience.

Have been looking for a traditional chiming wooden-cased mantel clock for ages. Initially I had had my heart set on a mechanical mantel clock as had thought the chimes on a battery-operated device might sound less `authentic' - but, finding the mechanical chiming timepieces rather thin on the ground (and expensive!), decided to take a punt and order this beauty. I am pleased to say I have not been disappointed with my purchase - the Westminster chimes sound lovely (I have them on almost the lowest setting which, when playing, instantly bring to mind old libraries, studies and gentlemen's clubs!) but, if these aren't your bag, the clock also comes with a Whittingham chime option. It does not emit a discernible ticking sound either so would blend in to the background of any room you care to keep it. For those that do not wish to have the chimes at all, you can completely shut these off with little effort - there is also an easily operated night time `shut-off' so the chimes don't play during the night. All options/tweaks for the mantel clock are carried out by opening its back (an easy to pop out black plastic disk insert). A `C' battery is also included in the box which will require inserting in to the back of the timepiece to activate the mechanism.

Having just purchased my first house, I needed a clock for my living room, and what better than a Napolean clock. This thing just oozes class. It's a very well-built quartz mantle clock with Westminster and Whittington chimes. I've personally turned the sound down to 'zero' and mine is completely silent. But that's how I wanted it. I just wanted to be able to look at the time and sometimes, because the clock is so elegant, I look at the clock and admire it and don't even check the time. Made of solid wood and taking a C battery, you can go to youtube and type in 'QXJ013B' and you'll see my overview of this fantastic piece. Highly recommended.

If I could give this item 10 stars I would. Lovely mantle piece clock. It looks really good quality and really sets of the fireplace. The chimes have a very subtle sound and you can turn them to your own required volume; you can actually turn them off during the night or off completely. Lovely, lovely item - would highly recommend.

This is a pleasant clock, which has a nice face. You have a choice of two chimes and if you want to turn off the sound all night you can just turn down the volume to zero.

I am very happy with my clock. It looks good, sounds good, and keeps good time!

I bought this clock when I was studying for a exam so that clock tells how much time passed and "Go back to study!" I could not find such function on mobile phone clock settings. This clock does what I wanted. A short chime sounds every 15 minutes. And number of ding-dongs for number of hours at every hour following chime. The chime and ding-dongs sounds gently and volume is adjustable. Clock ticking sound by second is hardly noticed. It is a bit big on study desk at 40cm wide but I made space by clearing my desk - that was a bonus.

Ottimo, preciso, il suono ottimo, elegante, ma mi sarebbe piaciuto che lo spegnimento notturno non fosse legato ad un orario 23 (troppo presto) 06 (troppo presto) ho ovviato interrompendo un filo allo speaker con un micro interruttore e intervenendo manualmente sull’interruttore così lo si può zittire quando si vuole 😊 Sarebbe anche utile potere avere solo i rintocchi orari e non anche le melodie

An absolutely gorgeous timepiece by Seiko. Classic watch face, great quality and finish of the wooden body. Also a big thank to the seller (Chronike World) for the neat packaging.

Recibí el reloj puntualmente, de hecho antes de lo esperado. El reloj tiene presencia, hecho de madera maciza y muy compacto. Muy exacto, no se retrasa ni un segundo; a la hora esperada, empieza la música. No se lleva las 5 estrellas, porque el sonido salía muy distorsionado. Era algo desagradable. Más que la grabación (que será igual para todas las unidades), sería el altavoz. ¿Qué pasa con Seiko? La tenía por una empresa de calidad, pero el control de la misma se lo pasan por el forro. Creo que es inaceptable que un producto salga así a la calle, sencillamente. Evidentemente lo reemplacé, y el reemplazo sí que suena bien, no hay color. Poco más que decir, se puede elegir entre dos melodías, suena cada cuarto de hora y la hora en punto da las campanadas. Tiene una rueda de volumen que, aunque tiene pocos puntos de volumen, permite que el reloj sea más discreto (sobre todo si lo tienes en el salón con la tele). Además, se puede elegir que no suene entre las 23:45 y las 5 am. Para mí ha sido un gran compra (salvo la pifia de la primera unidad que me llegó). Edito casi 5 años después, el reloj sigue funcionando igual de bien que el primer día. Sonido contundente, las baterías duran un montón (pierdo la cuenta el tiempo que llevo sin cambiarlas), y puntualidad absoluta. Encantado con mi reloj

Jeden Cent Wert. Sieht sehr schön aus. Klang sehr angenehm. Besonders positiv ist die einstellbare Lautstärke. Also ich bin begeistert von dieser Uhr.

Très bel effet sur la cheminée, grâce à la faible épaisseur. Le son est très bien et les mélodies à choisir aussi. On peut même mettre la sonnerie en veilleuse la nuit pour ne pas déranger. Très satisfaite de cet achat
