Know before you buy
Yes, the clock features adjustable volume control. It also includes an automatic nighttime shut-off feature, which silences the chimes during late-night hours.
This clock runs on two C batteries. Please note that batteries are not included with your purchase.
The removable crown sits at the top of the clock frame. Removing it provides a more streamlined, minimalist silhouette, while keeping it attached offers a more traditional, decorative appearance.
The clock features a triple-chime Harmonic movement, allowing you to choose between Westminster, Ave Maria, or Bim Bam melodies.
The Antique Gray finish is intentionally distressed to create an aged, vintage appearance. Because of this, the level of distressing may vary slightly on each piece, giving every clock a unique, one-of-a-kind character.
The blackened steel-finished pendulum is primarily decorative. It swings behind the glass window to provide a classic aesthetic, but the timekeeping itself is managed by the quartz battery-operated movement.
