Howard Miller 549695 Hamer Wall Clock II

The car is very nice very well crafted. The battery operated chimes are very low quality and sound crackly and muffled not very pleased with the sound portion of the clock.

Clean lines! Perfect wall clock for hanging in my dining room where it’s visible from the kitchen, living room, dining room and sunroom. I disabled the chimes because no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get them to accurately chime the time.

clock has a flat bottom... so you can set on table. would need a nail into a stud to hang on wall. well made wood box. clock and chime driver are cheaply made.... but even in the higher priced models , the drivers are the same. paid 130 dollars, used.. like new. is not worth 200 new. chimes always fail first.

I returned it! Should have known better. Howard Miller website has the exact same look and measurements clock model “Allegheny” that is considerably more. Not sure what the chime sounds like on that one but they don’t even offer this model for sale in their website. So it’s made specifically for Amazon to meet a price point which means they cut corners to make is cost less. This model “hamer”, offered exclusively through Amazon, sounds like a kids electronic toy. NOTHING at all like my previous Howard Miller electric wall clock. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.The case is pretty but there is absolutely no additional info about this model anywhere but on Amazon, and that is pretty limited also. Buyer beware, get a REAL one directly from Howard Miller. Amazon is going the way of another big box home improvement store offering the “name brand” built to their specs to make it cheap…..too bad

The clock is darker than expected but looks nice. So far time and chimes are great. The pendulum looks cheesy. That was why I took one star off.
