Is it Too Much to Ask for Beauty and Function?,

This review is from: Howard Miller 645-652 Abigail Alarm Clock (Kitchen)
A perfect clock for a print lay-out or as a prop on a stage set. Pretty to look at but doesn't deliver on function at all. The clock adjustment knobs on the backside are tiny and difficult to turn (if they turn at all). The button on top of clock to set alarm on/off feature moves so slightly it was difficult to tell if alarm was set as "on" or "off". Alarm is quiet to start and becomes louder, that was a nice feature. But setting the alarm time was pointless as alarm never started on it's own. Not a reliable product at all.

Clock is adorable.I was looking for a retro feel for my french bedroom.Looks great.The alarm is not loud at all.Unless you are a very light sleeper,it probably won't wake you.

This clock is just what I was looking for. It is silent(does not tick), does not light up or glow in the dark and it has a soft alarm that does not make me jump when it goes off. The alarm increases in volume and frequency until it is shut off so it is plenty loud enough to wake me even if I am snoozing good. It is all metal so it is a hefty, solid feeling little clock and it looks classy. Great design and colors. There was one problem which another reviewer mentioned...at first I could not get the alarm to work. The button on top didn't really move much. So I took off the back(two screws) and toyed with the plunger until it popped up and the alarm went off. But pushing on the button did not stop it. It became obvious to me that the top button had been screwed down on to the plunger rod too far so I unscrewed it a few turns as I held on to the rod with a pair of needle nosed pliers and "Presto!" it was fixed. Now I can tell when the alarm is set because the button sticks up...Read more
