Westclox Piper Twin Bell

I am very disappointed with this alarm clock. Upon arrival it did not keep accurate time, but was persistently slow, even after adjusting the movement to the fastest setting. Since then it has ceased to work consistently; it will sometimes just stop running, until you give it a tap to get it going again. What good is an alarm clock if you can't rely on it?!? The back cover is not securely attached, falling off when handling the clock. The movement is made of PLASTIC. This clock is of VERY poor quality and is a waste of money.

I thought this was a nice looking little clock, and wanted one for power outtages (which happen a lot where I live)where I could still see the time during the outtage. At first I really liked it, liked the look too. THEN...it started getting really BAD at keeping time..I had to be constantly making adjustments. THEN...when I finally got it to keep reasonable time, it just stopped working. Period. It would run for a while, then stop...run for a while then stop. I strongly recommend looking further for a clock. This was a real disappointment. (it lasted less than a year, and I threw away another 20 bucks!)

The Westclox Piper Twin Bell wind-up alarm clock is very high quality. The entire housing is made of steel as are the knobs for winding and setting the time. It has been keeping time perfectly since we received it and the alarm bells work nicely too. Compared to other wind up clocks I have had the ticking sound is relatively quiet. I would highly recommend this clock and it is nicer than expected for the price.
