This clock looks much better than in the photograph and is excellent value for money. Very unusual and attractive face design which gives it an interesting antique appearance. A bargain!

I bought this clock as a replacement for my mechanical Hermle moonphase mantel clock which needs repairing, and for a clock costing a tenth of the price it's not bad at all, in fact I'm quite taken with it.
The Weybridge has a well finished dark oak coloured cabinet with a brass/antique gold coloured face with embossed numerals and black scrolling. The face is recessed behind what I think is a glass panel, and there is a hemispherical moonphase motif above the clock face. In case you were wondering, this is not a functional moonphase movement, but it's an attractive looking motif nonetheless. You cannot access the clock face from behind the clear panel, but as the clock sets itself or can be manually adjusted from behind this shouldn't be a problem.
A couple of reviewers have said that they found it difficult to see the time from a distance, and I would agree that whilst it's not the clearest face in the world I have mine in an averagely lit room and can read it from across the room quite easily.
The clock has an electronic Westminster chime which chimes and strikes at the top of the hour. It doesn't chime on the quarter and half hours, but to be honest I'd found the quarter hourly chime on the Hermle to be too much and had turned it off anyway. Whilst the electronic chime can't approach the resonance of a mechanical chime, the chime on the Weybridge is pleasant on the ear, and not bad at all. I've certainly heard a lot worse*.
There's also a volume control so you can turn it up or down, and an automatic night shut off function which silences the chimes from 22:00 until 05:00. Unfortunately this can't be overridden, which is a great shame because there's something about a clock striking midnight that really appeals to me. Maybe I read too many ghost stories.
The clock set itself up within five minutes of inserting the batteries(1x AA for the clock,2x AA for the chimes) and has kept perfect time ever since.
In summary, a very attractive clock with a pleasant chime and radio controlled accuracy. I really like it. Excellent value.
* If you would like to get an idea of what the chimes sound like please listen to my video review.
p.s. At midnight the two greyhounds either side of the clock get up and do a couple of laps around the desktop.

I had a previous model of ths clock and after 14years the westminster chimes gave up. The closk still works and keeps good time. The one I'm reviewing now is the new model and is connected to the time keeping centre. It is a lovely clock and of course keeps perfect time. I did read another review about this clock which said you could not see the hands as they were the same colour as the clock face but they are black as shown on the picture and are quie clear. The only downside is the dark colour of the casing as it looks lighter in the advert but overall it is a very nice clock and lasts well as my previous one proves!

Mantel Clock
The product was as described and did what it was supposed to do except that the dial was so indistinct that it could not be read from more tha 1 metre away.

misleading picture on the website
The clock is in perfect working order - but I can tell time only when I hear it chiming hourly (no chimes half-hourly, though...)! Read more
