The Zen Alarm Clock's long-resonating Tibetan bell-like chime makes waking up a beautiful experience — its progressive chimes begin your day with grace. When the Clock's alarm is triggered, the acoustic chime bar is struck just once … then 3-1/2 minutes later it strikes again … chime strikes then become more frequent over 10 minutes … eventually striking every 5 seconds until shut off (see the "golden ratio" chime progression graph, on the left). And not only does the Zen Clock create a beautiful way to wake up, it is also a beautiful decorative accessory for your home or office. Made from hardwood and featuring a variety of dial face art (see below), Zen Alarm Clocks are as beautiful to see as they are to hear.
All Zen Alarm Clocks feature a Japanese-made quartz movement and measure 8" high x 11" wide x 3" deep. They run on 4 "C" batteries (not included). Average battery life with everyday use is about 2 years. Each Zen Clock's 'E tone' acoustic chime has been hand-tuned to produce the same tone as tuning forks used by musical therapists. All Now & Zen products are designed in Boulder, Colorado, and assembled in Shenzhen, China; they include a 1 year warranty and our 30 day money-back guarantee. Once you wake up using a Zen Clock, nothing else will do!
