This is a lovely clock, and just the right size for the wall I wanted to put it on.  To address a prior review:  The chime is recorded, rather than having the full "chime unit" included in the clock.  While it doesn't sound exactly like Big Ben, I do like the chime setup, as you can adjust the volume.  (My last wall clock, which I am replacing, had a chime that nearly shook the house.)  

I also really like that this clock does not tick loudly (actually, it doesn't tick at all, which I was delighted with - again, this was a problem with my last clock, which was extremely distracting).  This clock is very good-looking, quiet, and chimes nicely – it’s just what I wanted!
