A classic!
I have had this model clock for years. Mine was recently destroyed in a flood, and I have been looking all over for a replacement. This is a simple design, easy-to-use, classic travel alarm clock.
Most travel alarms are now battery-operated. I leave my travel alarm in my suitcase, and don't take it out until I'm somewhere where I need it. I'd hate to have a travel alarm with a battery, which might let me down just when I needed it. Because this clock is wind-up, it will never have that problem.
This clock is small and sturdy, and my last one never let me down in nearly 30 years of use. My old model made a soft ticking sound, which I found was not a problem as long as I set it on a soft surface, and not near my head. I am so relieved to find that it is still in production - A CLASSIC!

Good but not great
The sound is softer than a similar keywound clock I used to own, and the case on the clock that was sent did not have a chrome ring as shown in the product picture (instead, it was just a cheap plastic piece).
However, I guess you get what you pay for (the thing isn't that expensive), and I need all the alarm clocks I can get to wake up, so perhaps I shouldn't complain.

Best Damn Value Out There!
I had a very old stem-wind Westclox pocket watch that while the plastic bezel is cracked is still ticking! I thought I would try this alarm clock because of this and for those rare occasions when the power is out. It has performed just as it was described and the alarm, while loud enough to wake you, is not so loud that it knocks you out of your bed to the floor. The easy turn key, easy setting switch and dials are outstanding! A clock that is well worth the price asked!
A wonderful reminder of the time before 24 hour everything! Young people laugh at us old-timer's but when the lights or electricity go out they're the ones who are in a panic because their cell-phone battery is out!
