Overview:

The Wind Chime Alarm Clock combines punctuality with the sound of metal pipes clinking against each other. Hmm, that description doesn't quite do the product justice.

The Wind Chime Alarm Clock features 12-hour and 24-hour clocks, the date, a stopwatch function, and two different alarm modes. You can wake up to the sound of electronic beeping or to the gentle sounds of wind chimes. We choose the latter. You can also set the wind chimes to chime continuously, although this will drain the batteries fairly quickly. Chime, on, party people. Chime on.

For people who like: clocks, gifts for her, relaxation

Features & specs:

  • Dimensions: 8" tall, 5" wide, and about 2.25" deep
  • 12 and 24 hour clocks
  • Date display
  • Stopwatch function
  • 2 alarm modes
  • Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included)

We like wind chimes. And we like clocks.

OK, confession. We prefer watches to clocks, but we found the wind chime wristwatch to be a real pain in the butt when trying to ninja-sneak on people in the office during our AirZooka battles (like it or not, that was a pretty good cross-promo).

Optionally, you can use AC power (not included).

The Wind Chime Alarm Clock is not all hot air

This super-cool wind chime alarm clock features the following:

  • Multiple alarms: Option to wake to a traditional alarm sound or the sound of the wind chimes.
  • Snooze button: as if you can sell an alarm clock without it.
  • LCD display with backlight: It just looks cool.
  • Stop watch: While the stop watch is an incredibly cool invention because it allows us to determine how long it takes people to run 100 meters, we still can't quite figure out why you'd want it for an alarm clock. How many times have you needed to accurately time something from the comfort of your bed? Don't let your dirty mind linger on that. Just move along to the next feature.
  • Continuous operation: You can just flick the switch to 'on' and rock out to the wind chimes. However, this will probably run the batteries down fairly quickly. A more cost effective solution would be to purchase our Ambient Windchimes CD (hey, face it, you're on an e-commerce site).
  • AC power (not included): If you don't want to use batteries, there is an optional AC input. The cable isn't included.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Wind Chime Alarm Clock

Are batteries included with the wind chime alarm clock?

Did they ask Edison if batteries were included with the first lightbulb? Well, who knows. But, seriously, it's an alarm clock that activates wind chimes when you need to wake up! It's so cool who cares if it needs batteries. OK, it uses 3 AAA batteries which are not included. We're sure you've got a few lying around.

Do the wind chimes actually make noise?

Yes. There is a small rotating mechanism underneath the chimes that causes them to make contact with a metal bar. Check out the video above to see (and hear) them in action.

How big is the Wind Chime Alarm clock?

It is 8 inches tall and about 5 inches wide. The wind chime alarm clock's small footprint makes it perfect for even the smallest nightstands.

I can't get the wind chimes to activate as an "alarm"?

We've gotten a few emails from people having trouble getting their windchimes to start making noise after they've set the alarm. Once you've set the alarm, make sure you flip the switch to "auto" and not "alarm". The "alarm" switch makes a beeping noise whereas the "auto" selection initiates the wind chimes. Also, make sure you've got your AM and PM settings correct and that the alarm "icon" is visible when you return to the "real time" mode.

Can I download instructions?

Yes, we've scanned the instructions into a PDF. It's fairly large at 2.7MB.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how accurate is the clock over time?
A: We've yet to hear a complaint about the accuracy of the wind chime alarm clock, and we saw no problems in our testing. So, we assume that it's accurate.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Where can one purchase the option A/C attachemnt so not to waste batteries? Can this chime be set to go off every hour?
A: You should be able to pick up the cord at any Radio Shack or electronics store, and possibly larger general merchandise retailers. The clock specifies a 6.0VDC cable with the capacity to provide at least 500mA. And yes, the chime can definitely be set to chime every hour.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I request a replacement instruction booklet? Ours was damaged with other paperwork in a basement flood. The chimes tinkle, but I don't know how to set the time or any other functions. HELP!

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Just to be clear: IS the chronograph feature a countdown? I'd like to use the chime alarm to gently let me and my client know we are nearing the end of a therapy session.
A: Yes, the Wind Chime Alarm Clock has a countdown timer.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: It dosen't seem very loud...
A: It's not. If you're a heavy sleeper, you probably need something much less subtle, like our Flying Alarm Clock. The Wind Chime Alarm Clock is designed for those who are seeking a softer, gentler sort of wakeup.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: is the volume loud enough to wake deep sleepers? is the volume adjustable?
A: That would depend on just how deep of a sleeper you are! If the chiming is not loud enough to wake you, there is also an option for an electronic beeping alarm sound. The volume is not adjustable.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I read the time in the middle of the night WITHOUT pressing any button?
A: Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your preferences), the backlight on the Wind Chime Alarm Clock does not stay illuminated on its own. You'll have to press the button to see the time in the dark.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can the chime alarm be accurately set for 10-20 minutes? (If yes, consider this an online marketing tip. Google "meditation timer" and see ... Your product is unique in its price range!)

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I have tried radio shack and other retailers. No one seems to have the correct ac adapetr. Help!

A: Word.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: A comment/suggestion for you: I'm about to order this, and one of the features I like is that it's fully functional on batteries alone. This makes it "Feng Shui friendly!"

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

A: Nope. Check out the video to hear for yourself.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you change the order of the chime bars to make a different tune?
A: It would take some work, but we don't see why you couldn't rearrange the chimes.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How about not the same glissando every time - varied patterns. Sure, sure, this would require thinking and engineering, but what is the human brain for?
A: It is possible to rearrange the chimes to change the sound if you have the time and patience to do it.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How do I set the time, and how do i set the alarm?
A: Complete, illustrated instructions for setting the time and alarm are included with each clock.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Are you sure that stopwatch isn't actually a countdown? If I wanted to take a 30-minute nap, a countdown would be very useful.
A: The wind chime alarm clock's instruction manual calls that feature "Chronograph Mode", and it's designed as a count-up timer that measures to the 1/100th of a second. If you'd like to take a 30-minute nap, though, you could always set the regular alarm for 30 minutes.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: do you have anything like this that also has a radio? That would be fantastic!!!! thanks.

Q: Does it have a electric cord or can I buy one? Ginny
