I bought the same clock about a year ago already, with the old model, I am very satisfied (5 Stars!). Therefore, I have now bought for another room this clock. In the meantime, the inner workings of the clock seems to have changed, however: - The clock is ticking very loudly (at night also two rooms away to hear) - Regularly by 1 and 6, the second hand begins to dance (the clock turns to) So not recommended for the bedroom, for an office on a main road but well.
