Bulova C4846 Director Wall Clock

I would give this 6 stars if I could. This radial brushed steel clock face with sculpted steel Arabic indices is an art deco gem! It's big. At 16" inches diameter, while not dominating a wall, it impresses with an imposing presence. In normal lighting it is perfectly readable. If low light contrast is a must for you, pass on this steel on steel monochrome design. The clock relies entirely on architecture and brushing contrast for it's elegant display. This isn't some cheap knock-off with the Bulova name pasted on. It's steel, it's crystal, it's a silent, smooth sweep second hand in deep dark blue. Horology nerds will notice the manufacturer's address on the box: 350 Fifth Avenue 29th Floor, NYC. Folks, that's the Bulova world corporate headquarters in the Empire State Building. The real deal. I can't believe the low price. I would have paid two or three times as much and still gotten a bargain. I'm only sorry that my house doesn't have a marble-walled, terrazzo-floored lobby to do the thing justice, but I like it on the wall above my desk.

Beautiful modern design! Very accurate.

Unlike many wall clocks these days, this clock LOOKS like a quality clock... and in fact, looks like the clocks I recall from a few airports which had clocks that displayed the different time zones. It looks perfect on my home workout room/gym/office wall and totally fits in with that room's mid century vibe. That it is both battery operated and QUIET is a huge selling feature for me. If only Bulova sold them in a smaller format for other rooms (like a bathroom), I would certainly buy another.

Really good looking wall clock. Large. Accurate. Nice color. Seems to be well made. And it's absolutely quiet! It has a big flaw, though - the hands are super hard to read under certain light and angles! They are the same color like the rest of the clock and blend in perfectly, so it is impossible to read them sometimes. Pretty stupid and hard to believe someone would ok this. But here we are. We didn't want to return it as we really like it, so we fixed it ourselves. We removed the whole clock mechanism from the glass and trim ring, painted the hands dark, put it all back together and problem solved! One should not have to do this, but it is what it is. It'd be great, though, if the manufacturer would fix this easily fixable, but major problem. It would prevent a lot of people returning the clock for this particular reason.

really nice art deco style wall clock, satisfied with this purchase.

Fantastic clock! It’s keeping perfect time & no issues with the hands sticking as in previous reviews. It has been installed away from direct light so hands easy to read and no glare from cover. A bit pricey but I love it!

Really beautiful wall clock, love it. The second hand is true sweeping, i.e. no ticking, and that makes it much classier to the casual viewer. Nicely built with a glass cover and brushed aluminum shell, the chassis is plastic. The sunburst dial and deeply sculpted numerals give this clock some nice visual interest. It's also very accurate, which is just the icing on the cake. The only issue I have with it is that the overall monotone color scheme can make it hard to read in certain lighting and doesn't lend itself well to being hung on a light colored wall.

Clock itself is well made and looks gorgeous. Shiny chrome finish is very handsome but they should have used a more contrast finish for the clock hands. It’s hard to tell time at a glance because they blend in!

Apparence élégante, très silencieuse et précis..

Excelente reloj. Se ve muy sobrio y elegante. Muy silencioso y el movimiento del minutero lo hace ver diferente. Sólo revísalo muy bien cuando llegue porque el cristal es muy fácil que se rompa. Lo tuve que devolver un par de ocasiones porque llegaba quebrado, pero de ahí en fuera es un reloj bonito y muy funcional

This looks even better in person. Really good quality and beautifully finished. Love the second hand continuous sweep. Highly recommend this clock.

Stupendo

This is a really great looking clock. The 3D looking numbers and the brushed metal finish make this look amazing and worth the money. The sweeping second hand looks very nice and no ticking noise of course. definitely recommend, and possibly buying another one. Note that you need a small phillips screwdriver to release it from its packaging.
