my new Elgin bedside alarm clock look like a antique , but require no wind . you can hear the slightest tick sound , which I like . it be a no brainer to set up . the only thing I be a little disappointed with be I think it have a light dial , that maybe glow in the dark or something . to see the clock in the dark , push down on the button on top . the wording be a little misleading in that respect . otherwise I love my little clock . it hardly take up any room on my nightstand .
