Bulova Chime Wall Clocks

The direct new wall-clock group is C4332 Litchfield, C3542 Cranbrook, C4331 Hartwick, C4115 Manchester, C3543 Ashford, and C1517 Saybrook. Each is identified as a Bulova wall clock with chime evidence. The used eBay Roman-numeral clock also claims Bulova, chime, pendulum, and wall placement, but lacks a model number and needs physical verification.

B7466 Dalton and B1860 Vanderbilt chime but are tabletop or mantel clocks. C4892 Darian is a backlit silent-sweep wall clock without a documented chime. Apply both criteria before comparing price: Bulova branding alone does not establish sound, and a chime alone does not establish wall mounting. For the used offer, request dial, rear-label, movement, and battery-compartment photographs to confirm identity and function.

Cranbrook is the smallest documented direct model at about 9 by 19 inches. Saybrook is 9.75 by 20.5 and lists three chime choices without naming them. Ashford measures 13.75 by 25 by 5 inches and documents Westminster despite triple-chime title wording. Hartwick reaches 14 by 29.75 by 5.5, while Litchfield is tallest at 14 by 35.25 inches.

Manchester is recorded at 21 by 21 inches and lists Westminster, twelve traditional songs, and seven holiday selections. Litchfield offers Westminster or Ave Maria with hourly or four-quarter programming. The used eBay clock is titled 23 by 11 inches but supplies no depth or program details. Confirm whether melodies rotate or remain selected, hourly versus quarter-hour behavior, pendulum clearance, and the exact current manual for each model.

Litchfield, Cranbrook, Hartwick, Manchester, Saybrook, Dalton, and Vanderbilt state adjustable volume, automatic night shutoff, or both. Ashford's saved excerpt does not document those controls. Automatic silence is not necessarily a user-programmable schedule; verify muted hours, manual mute, volume range, and whether the clock uses an internal schedule, light sensor, or switch.

Some source records conflict. Dalton's text names triple chimes and later says there is no chiming feature. Manchester's 20-song total is internally consistent, while Vanderbilt says twenty but its named groups total nineteen. The used eBay offer says chime only in its title and gives no program evidence. Treat every melody count and control as model-specific. Ask for the manual or a demonstrated current unit before choosing for a bedroom, office, or sound-sensitive household.

Tall cases need clearance for depth, pendulum travel, decorative weights, battery access, and room above the hanger. Hartwick and Ashford document 5.5- and 5-inch depths; Litchfield, Cranbrook, Saybrook, and the used eBay offer omit at least one important installation measurement. Verify loaded weight and match fasteners to the wall substrate rather than trusting an unusually low saved value.

Power varies. Cranbrook and Ashford list four AA batteries; Hartwick and Manchester use two C cells; Saybrook needs one AA plus two C; the used eBay clock says two C. Confirm allocation between movement, chime, and pendulum. Inspect the used clock for marks, corrosion, repairs, missing parts, and shipping risk. For all ten, verify model, case material, dimensions, chime controls, batteries, hanger, hardware, packaging, seller authorization, warranty, return window, fees, and return freight.
