Rarely have I seen such a chic clock in the quality and for this price! The clock comes in a nice cardboard box, and even has an attached gear lock, which must be removed from the adjustment prior to first use. Unfortunately there was also with me the description of setting the alarm - yes, the clock has a beep as an alarm. It is only the warranty card. Incidentally, the dial is dark brown, not as indicated at Amazon knows and the number of strokes hour division in fluorescent lights in the dark.
