Acctim CK0030 Large-Bell Alarm Clock - Brass, 16.5 x 12 x 5.5 cm

Nice vintage looking clock with a very loud alarm. Wind up, so no impact on the environment from discarded batteries (just don't forget to wind it!) Once fully wound, the clock will run for 2-3 days before it needs doing again. I had to adjust the regulator to get it to keep time, but now that I have, it's perfect. One possible issue is that it does have a loud tick. That's fine for me, I find it rather comforting, but light sleepers might find it a little intrusive.

A traditional clockwork (!) alarm clock. Brass effect, though quite lightweight. Face approx. 9cm diameter. Fluorescent green hand and hours markers. Needs to be wound daily, as alarm clocks always were. Alarm can be silenced or inactivated by moving a small lever that lies between the bells (this simply presses the hammer against one bell and prevents its oscillation). There are separate winders for the clock and the alarm but note that the main winder, which must be used daily, is quite close to the time adjustment knob. If this is a problem for those with larger fingers, however, I've discovered that the time adjuster can be removed simply by pulling it off its pin (it can be replaced with a firm push, 'though this isn't a design feature!). The clock ticks! This is quite a fast tick, unlike a wall or pendulum clock but I quite like the regular sound as I drift off to sleep. The alarm should wake all but the heaviest of sleepers. All in all, a great alarm clock.

It does the job, but so difficult to wind , this is my third clock like this in 40 odd years, as they have very good rings ☺️

The clock looks absolutely gorgeous on the nightstand and it makes you wake up a few minutes early just to stop it from going off so it's effective. Unfortunately it is running behind despite winding it daily and the alarm hand moves as well, it moves forward more than an hour in one day which make it quite unreliable.

WORST ALARM CLOCK IVE EVER OWNED. DOESNT KEEP TIME. STOPS WORKING CONSTANTLY DESPITE BEING WOUND UP. PICK IT UP SHAKE IT WORKS A WHILE THEN STOPS AGAIN KNOBS ON BACK KEEP FALLING OFF. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AVOID THIS CRAP AT ALL COSTS !

I have had this clock going for a while now and it keeps good time, there is an adjustment feature on the reverse which I've not had to use so far. It speeds up or slows down the clock. Ask your elderly relatives for instructions. I'm old already so I'm familiar with it. The clock looks nice, is not heavy, ticks loudly, which is what I wanted as I find it soothing and it helps me sleep, reminds my soul of my childhood perhaps. To me it's a proper clock. Very happy with my purchase.

I saw this beautiful clock and thought to myself 'yes, this is the one for me - classic design, wind up, proper bells and a tick!' I love a ticking clock, the tick......tock......tick.....tock, gently moving in time with my resting heartbeat, gently lulling me into restful sleep. Sounds perfect, yes? Not this clock though! oh no! This clock will make you feel like you are having a panic attack - the tick....tock....tick....tock is not gentle or lulling or in rhythm with any heartbeat - the tick tock of this clock is more ticktickticktickticktickCLUNKtickticktickCLUNKtickCLUNKtickticktickticktickticktickticktickCLUNKticktickCLUNK and so it goes on and on and on all night long - the CLUNKS are random though, so don't expect to find them predictable in order to ignore them, no, they will lull you into a false sense of security and just as you are finally getting used to the very fast (around 200 per minute, I didn't actually count them as I was too busy trying to get my resting heartbeat under control again) it CLUNKS again, causing a heart skip and your dog to start growling at the clock. In the end I was forced to open my bedroom window and hurl said clock into the garden. Where it continued to tickticktickticktickCLUNK like The Tell Tale Heart. I have always slept with my bedroom window open, as I love the sound of the little river that runs through my garden and to be woken by the sounds of the birds waking up and can only recall having to close it once in over 15 years, when the temperature here dropped to -27C and I felt chilly, but last night, my bedroom window was closed to try to drown out this clock. So, there you go - I do not like this clock.

Great product really loud alarm just what I need as I am a heavy sleeper great price

I have seen a number of negative comments about this product which I think are unwarranted and can be simply put down to people not knowing how these clocks work. The first thing I will say that it is a mechanical clock that requires lubrication to work correctly and as the demand for these clocks is generally low due to modern technology, these clocks can sit in their boxes for months on end with no movement with their oil drying out causing inaccurate time keeping. The first thing you need to do with any mechanical clock like this which is new is whip out your can of wd-40 and lubricate the mechanism. In relation to this clock, use the can with the red straw and spray it in the holes. Wind the clock and leave it run for a could of days, then you can use it as normal making sure to adjust the speed with the lever at the back. Long gone are the days when you walked in to a shop and received a maintained and serviced mechanical clock. After lubrication, mine worked perfectly fine. I knocked a star off because of the plastic winders and knobs at the back, would have preferred metal.

Un poco regular, pero más o menos cumple su función. Le falta exactitud.

Sveglia di buona fattura, considerando il prezzo di vendita. Meccanica a carica manuale, presenta un ticchettio non troppo molesto al quale ci si abitua facilmente, fino a non essere più percepibile. Tuttavia sconsigliata per chi pretende assoluto silenzio. Il suono è molto forte, impossibile non svegliarsi. La precisione deve essere controllata, all'inizio, attraverso l'apposito correttore sul retro. Nel mio caso anticipa di circa 6 minuti ogni 5 giorni. Ovviamente occorre ricordarsi di caricarla, possibilmente alla stessa ora. Le chiavette retrostanti sono di plastica, quindi occorre prestare attenzione a non forzare la carica.
