Howard MillerKalvin Wall Clock, Wooden Finish Round White Dial Wall Mount, Battery Operated Arabic Numerals Quartz Movement Perfect for Room Decor, Office, Living Room & Home Decor

Better in person! Love the size of the numbers. Very pretty.

This clock ticks and you will hear it well in a quiet room. If the ticking bothers you, this clock is not for you. However, I do not care about having a second hand. I opened the clock and pulled off the second hand and amazingly the ticking stopped. I wasn't expecting that and it saved me from changing the whole mechanism. These clocks are called fit ups which basically means that it is fully assembled in China and Howard Clock does not make or support mechanism replacements. Also, there is no wood finish, it is plastic. The clock does keep good time though.

The Howard Miller Kalvin Wall Clock #625-418 is even more attractive in person than online photos. I've only had it less than a week, but so far it's keeping good time. The ticking is ever so slight - no bother at all. It looks gorgeous in our living room. I am impressed with the Howard Miller quality, and would definitely buy this brand of clock again.

It has a slightly audible tick when you are very close to it. I put it in my living room where I don't hear it tick, but fear I would if it were in my bedroom when I was trying to fall asleep.This clock is both good looking and larger than most wall clocks. I found it while searching for atomic clocks, which it is not, so keep that in mind that if you don't want to reset it twice a year.Given its shortcomings, I think it is overpriced. I'm too lazy to send it back, but wish I hadn't bought it.,

fantastic works just like thay tell you

My wife and I really like this clock. Although it has a quiet quartz movement, the second hand ticks as it moves around the clock face. The soft ticking sound is very relaxing.The ticking can only be heard when the room is very quiet (i.e. no talking or TV). It reminds me of my visits to grandma's. The clock in her kitchen quietly ticked to the smell of her kuchen and other delicious creations. The clock face is large enough to be easily seen from over 25 feet.

Clock was too small

This is a very attractive clock. It seems to be quite well made, and It is a nice size - bigger than the norm, and the large numbers are very easy to see across the room. The band of brushed nickel-looking color really gives it a nice touch, and matches my new lights and fixtures. However, although the hour and minute hands appear to be black in the listing, they are actually also a brushed nickel-like color. At night, when the daylight is gone, the reflection of the electric lights renders the hands completely invisible from the normal viewing angle. So, at night I have to get up and look at the clock from a very side angle, or at the additional table clock I purchased because of this problem. I never had trouble seeing my old clock (that finally died!) which was hung on the wall in the same spot. I might also add that when we first set it up, the clock did not keep accurate time. It kept falling behind. My husband called the technical phone number, and the technician suggested he try a different battery (even though the one we had used was brand new). Please don't ask me why, but the clock has kept accurate time ever since with the second battery installed. It has been accurate for weeks!!!
