In short and concise, this alarm clock is very well made (metal housing), Quartz movement (silently) with snooze and light. The clock is super read and easy to use. The ringing sound is by striking a small bell accomplished you will be old-fashioned pleasantly awakened. I highly recommend this alarm clock without hesitation.
Supplement: The movement began suddenly ticking loudly !!!!!! Made sleep difficult. So I have to take back "quartz movement (silently)". Thus, this alarm clock is unfortunately no longer buy recommendation.
