I have bought this alarm clock to an alarm clock that I can not miss to have the wakes me definitely. And that he also holds. However, I am otherwise not at all pleased with him: My main criticism is that, according to Article description, precise movement. I have the alarm repeatedly compared with different clocks; where I assume that the specified time will indeed be true. At least once a week I have to adjust it a little because the alarm would otherwise indicate a completely wrong time relatively quickly (he pretends to about 5 minutes in 1-2 weeks, which I think clearly too much!). Furthermore, I expect from an electronic clock that it runs quietly. One reason for choosing exactly this alarm was that I hoped not being disturbed by a tick, since he has an electrical movement. But far from it. In bed at night I hear my "nostalgic" clock even from 10m distance. For comparison: A friend has a similar alarm. This I did not even hear ticking as I slept right next to the desk on which he stood ....
Nevertheless, I will initially use this alarm clock further because I had to readjust my previous alarm from time and that does not bother me and therefore I've already gotten used to the ticking after a relatively short time.
But still: Do not place a Kauempfehlung for this alarm it just creates even the promise to keep, that have been made about his appearance.
