Antique clocks are a problem because you have to wind them

[cimorene]

I think a clock that chimed every hour would be really helpful to me. It would be like having an alarm that goes off once an hour, but totally benign, instead of making me jump like an alarm. It would be nicer if the church belltower did - belltower chimes are the best ones, I think. Meanwhile lots of clocks don't even tick now, which I find very annoying, because I like to listen for the ticks and count them.

I am so with you.

I have a wonderful old mantel clock that belonged to my great grandfather. I haven't wound it in a while but I definitely used to use it. It has quarter hour chimes and a beautiful soft TICK.
