Great clock, silent (for the most part). 6 months after purchasing clock it began to tick when the second hand was between 24 to 38 second mark. At first it was distracting since it only ticked for those seconds. Since it was in an infrequently used room, it was not a big deal. This ticking continued for 4-5 weeks. The noise ended on it's own. Odd, but the clock has been silent ever since. Long battery life, silent motion, beautiful clock, VERY light.
