Looks good the clock in black. Inserted battery and then it took 10 minutes until the time was adjusted. Relatively quiet drive! Silently it is but not everyone is so different in perception. The clock has started very quietly (barely audible), after a week, they now ticking audibly. Too bad the reviews after I had expected a quieter clock.
Edit: After 3 weeks I have to say that the clock is getting louder. There is hardly any difference to my old clock :(
