Very pretty white clock, the jiour completely silent. The second hand is moving continuously, and not second by second. The night is the best! Pretty green lighting tro nor weak nor too strong. Perfect for room, night hall, the kitchen, the office of the clock The lighting intensity is proportional to the light emitted elsewhere. The lighting shown in the photo corresponds to a completely dark situation. - I have three at home. I have also offered my father, living in a single room in a retirement home. He adores!
