Although this alarm clock looks old fashioned, you don't have to remember to wind it and the bells don't really ring. Thanks to one C battery (not included), the modern quartz movement keeps the clock running smoothly and accurately, and the alarm beeps without jarring. The oversized white dial shows Arabic numerals, a second hand, and the alarm setting in the very center. The hands are configured in Big Ben's distinctive "spade and dagger" shape.
Westclox started producing Big Ben clocks in 1909, and today they are beloved American classics. The Twin Bell model is based on an interpretation of the original 1921 design, with a brushed pewter finish for a retro look. Wiping with a clean, damp cloth will remove most fingerprints and smudges. --Ann Bieri

Why 3 stars? I'll complain first, then praise after.

While it weighs next to nothing it just is too awkward next to my lamp on the stand.
Even if size wasn't a factor you would not want this next to your bed due to the alarm. IT IS LOUD! The product description is wrong. It is not a beep at all, but rings the two large bells at the top of the clock. I joke that when it goes off other people in my building are getting dressed and leaving thinking that it is a fire alarm.
With those two things said, this is a great alarm for people like me that have a hard time getting up and are addicted to snooze. First, you will not be able to sleep through this alarm. Second, because I had to place this...Read more

Very happy with this purchase. Sturdy construction and works well. Standard "C" battery powers the clock, eliminating the need to wind-up daily. At first a little confused with the operation of the alarm, but very simple to operate. Good buy.
Would recommend.
