Rhythm Clocks "Marvelous Pearl" Magic Motion Clock

I absolutely love my new clock! Well worth the money I paid.

Beautiful clock

The media could not be loaded.  Bought this for my husband for it's birthday. It looks and sounds gorgeous! He loves it. One thing though. The listing says it uses (2) C batteries. It uses (4) D batteries!

My parents have had a Small World Rhythm clock for over 25 years and its still works perfectly. My wife has always loved it and i finally broke down and bought her one for her birthday. this one is a motion clock also..No complaints but plenty of compliments. All we had to do was install the batteries (included), set the time, and put a sturdy screw into the wall to hang it. we have only had it for a couple of weeks but if the one my parents have is any indication of how long it will last, then i expect it to be fought over when we pass..

I think this must be a poor knock-off. The frame looks like oak but is fake. It's plastic. Where pieces of real wood would be joined together, there is no seam on the sides, just on the front face of the frame. It also sounds like plastic when tapped and touched. Even worse, though, is how the pieces that move to music don't align well into a circle. See pictures. The 12 is set off-center by almost 1/2". Two of the six moving face sections are misaligned, in fact.I've seen a similar motion clock in action and this one plays just half of the same tunes it had played (a Seiko Melodies in Motion) and the flashing light behind the crystals in this clock are way too bright! Neon light bright, not delicate Svorsky crystal sparkle. Looks just awful. Makes it appear gawdy, even though this is a relatively understated design with medium brown colored numbers and hands.In fact, that color brown if the hands is so light, I can hardly tell what time it is from more than 10' away! The medium brown hands with gold trim are thin and don't show up against the center of the clock face, which appears to be a slightly darker brown background with intricate gold starbursts set on top. The hands and face blend perfectly! Medium brown and gold hands moving over top of a face that is mostly darker brown with a lot of gold. Very little contrast. Should have made the hands black with gold trim. The brown numbers show up ok against their soft white background, but it's the hands that tell us the time!I need a clock like this which will capture my attention with a different Melody every hour. I have ADHD, and I'm getting close to 70 years old. It's as bad for me now, I'm told, as having early stage dementia. Even with meds, I totally lose track of time and am still easily distracted, always losing things. I NEED a good clock that does more than just chime on the hour. I'd just tune that little noise out as I do alarms - unless they never quit! :)I may need to resort to an annoying-sounding quartz cuckoo clock made of wood with a clear face. I am still hoping, however, to find one of these amusing motion clocks that play various tunes that I actually love. But I also want a real wooden frame with a clock face I can easily read from across the room. That's definitely not this one. This one also just happens to be defective, too.

Several reviews mentioned that it is hard to read the time, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. If it was just a clock, I would have returned it because you can't tell what time it is because of the hand color and the sections that control the movement. After all, that is normally why you buy a clock - so you know what time it is. It is so beautiful and I love the music, so I am keeping it. I can always look at my phone for the time if I am too lazy to get up to read it (:

I love it. It's prettier seeing it with my own eyes than I saw in any picture or video, and I saw many before I bought it. It brings out the 5 year old in me.

The time worked fine. I set the clock up, hung it on the wall, pressed the Reset button. The music only worked when the Monitor button was pressed. I check to see of the on/off switch was switched to On, and it was. Very disappointed for such an expensive item. MY first statements were a mistake. Apparently, after I set the clock up, and dimmed the lights in the den to watch a movie, the sensor which turns the music off engaged. The clock is working as advertised. It is indeed a nice addition to my study. I would definitely recommend this to friends who were in Europe. I envision the clock as a modern renditions of many I have seen in palaces, castles, and town squares all over Europe. The wealthy and the towns were consumed with passion for complicated clocks with figures and music.

Wow! What a fantastic clock, it's beautiful. I love the solid oak frame and the music is amazing. Relatives of ours have a Rhythm Clock and we have always admired it and we decided to treat ourselves......we have not been disappointed. From the time we ordered it to receiving it was so easy and the tracking provided let us see exactly where it was at any time. We were very surprised to receive it on Easter Sunday but a lovely surprise. We are truly thrilled and have no hesitation in recommending this clock and service, both superb! A+++++

I think the clock is very good I look forward to the tune on the hour and just before the top of the hour I stop what I am doing and wait for the tune. The music reminds me of the old fairground rides with the organ music. I am very pleased with my clock.

Clock is lovely and Hartes Department Store did a great job of getting the product out immediately!

quite happy with clock, which arrived within time stated.
