Westclox Ardmore Twin Bell Reviews
I've found a more comfortable way of winding it is to 'hold the key' while turning the clock. The alarm certainly gets my attention.even from another room. After a bit of adjusting with the regulator inside the clock, it keeps good time. Sure, it might gain a minute or two now and then, but that's ok. I very much love the way it looks and the way it ticks.
However, the clock has stopped numerous times (even after turning the key daily) making it an unreliable alarm clock. Look elsewhere. The tick-toc isn't loud enough to disturb my sleep and setting the alarm is quite easy (just make sure the pin doesn't interfere with the alarm hammer). As other reviewers have mentioned, it has a cheap brass finish (your fingerprints will be all over it), and the alarm bells are loud. After owning this clock for over a month here's my verdict: For the price, it's a decent clock, but in the end you get what you paid for. If you really want a reliable "old school" twin bell alarm clock- they cost around $50 online- they are made in Serbia (where those old school clocks were originally from); this clock is made in China and is a cheap knockoff of the real thing.
Unless of course you forget to pull the knob to activate the alarm. Annoying bell. But you will make that 4 AM flight to Kalamazoo, MI. Yes. Put it just outside your bedroom to avoid tic-toc, if it interferes with your falling sleep. This is what's going to do it.
I agree the finish is cheap and for the price this clock is just ok. I had it for about 2 months and then the alarm hand fell off, sucks to be me but i am kinda rough on my clocks.
She wanted a simple alternative to the digital clocks that are becoming hard for her to read. . The brassy finish is the cheapest you can imagine. The wind up and alarm mechanisms are difficult to use. I bought this for my mother at her request. Skip this one.
