I like the simple classic feel of the design of this musical clock, designed by the venerable German clockmaker, Gustav Becker. The elegant clock face features curling art deco numerals and a spade-shaped hour hand. Sweeping quartz movement replaces the usual jerking movement of the second hand. The three dimensional design features medieval towers and models of musical instruments framed with art deco lines and a cherry wood finished frame.

On each hour, the towers light up and the instruments rotate to one of six contemporary tunes:

• Memory
• Stardust
• My Heart Will Go On
• When You Wish Upon a Star
• Beauty and the Beast
• The Long and Winding Road

I would have thought that some classic sounds would have been appropriate, but the selections are all of the pop variety. The volume control is a nice touch, so you don’t have to worry about the tunes becoming a distraction. It also automatically goes mute when you turn the lights off.

This is a fairly large clock, measuring nearly 19 inches high, so it would work best in a sitting room or hallway, rather than an office or bedroom. It takes 3 D-cells.
