I hate ticking clocks. I bought silent movements for mine.


Brings back memories of staying at my grandparent's house 65 years ago.
To mr, it is a comforting sound. Our family room clock ticks and chimes
on the hour too. I wind it every Sunday for 35 years that we've had it. ..

I had dinner over a friend's house a few weeks ago, I stopped counting their clocks and
clock related decorations when I reached 30 in just the 3 first floor rooms.. There was over
a dozen "clocks" in the dining room alone.

Wall clocks, table clocks, pictures with clocks in them. Some worked, some didn't.
Many ticked, many chimed.
