The alarm should serve as a replacement for a defective old mechanical alarm clock. Somehow I liked the parts always wanted and therefore again as an alarm clock with a classic bell. It was clear that the quality of today probably no longer will bear what it once was. In that case, I let myself by name Kienzle but also hide something. Kienzle was in my mind one of the major manufacturers, but that should be history. The alarm clock is made very cheap, the housing is a cheap chrome metal replica. That would not be so bad if the clock would run at least accurate. However, this is not the case. All fine-tuning does not help, neither direction nor Minus direction Plus can be fixed that. Too bad a clear bad buy.
