I bought this clock because it has an alarm function. Every year I give my butler half a morning break. Now I have but a day already at 09:45 clock to any caviar breakfast orgies. The nerves! Nevertheless, I would like to not like to be late more than 20 minutes. I am not a morning person and come morning barely out of the water bed. The clock wakes me then once super reliable in the year. Until now already 2 times. If she makes it back next year, I give 5 stars. Then, the acquisition was worth. Otherwise, my butler has probably forego future on his already undeserved annual leave. In addition, I'll pull him the purchase price from their wages.
