I love this beautiful clock! This clock would look great in any room. 
I have it on the wall next to my bed. It does "tick-tock", but very softly, so that you do not notice it during the day, while at night, it is a faint and restful sound that helps me to fall asleep. Without being overly large, the face of this clock allows me to see the time with a glance from across the room.
