3.0 out of 5 stars Great looking clock but noisy September 20, 2007

This clock looks is great. I can't remember where I saw it first (Maybe a music video) but I've wanted one ever since. It showed up and I fell in love with it until one minute after I turned it on. This clock makes an annoying clicking sound every minute when the pins move. It is now a lovely addition to my bathroom where it will annoy me the least.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool clock, but be forewarned about the noise... November 11, 2009

By D. Johnson

This is a decent clock. It looks solid, is easy to set, and will mesmerize anyone who sees it. That said, be forewarned that it is a bit noisy. I work in a cubicle at work, and decided against using this as my work clock because there is a definite and audible CLICK sound each minute. When you're the only one who hears it, you learn to tune it out, but I could tell my co-workers would not be thrilled by it. Another thing you can't quite tell from the image or the description is that the entire face of the clock is not made of pins--only the actual part of the face that has the numbers has pins that slide in and out. Don't know if this will matter to you, but the rest of the face is just made to *look* like it's made of pins. This sounds like I don't like the clock--I do, and would buy it again, but the sound really is an issue you should consider if you live or work with anyone who gets annoyed by repetitive sounds.

I love this clock. I got it for my brother for christmas to put in his office and I know he'll like it as well. My son and I were instantly mesmerized watching the numbers change, which is way cool. Yes, it does make a little noise and the numbers are hard to see in the dark, so I wouldn't recommend it as a clock for the bedstand. But taking it for what it is, it is a fantastic novelty clock.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice product great service from amazon December 17, 2007

By Paul R. Rieger

This is a Christmas gift so it hasn't been given yet. I love dealing with Amazon. They're efficient and timely on shipping. It's so convenient and easy.

The only thing I would have liked about this product was if it came with an adapter. It runs on batteries.

By Cynthia C. Dillion

This is a gift. It is a clock only. No alarm, doesn't light up to see at night. The idea is what this person wanted.

4.0 out of 5 stars awesome clock January 17, 2013

By tdawg

I love this clock, its really cool. I was expecting the pins to be metal, however they are plastic. Still cool. I also figured every circle on the face was a pin, only the ones that make up the numbers are actually pins. Still its cool.

The only problem with this guy is its loud. I can get used to it because I enjoy it, however my poor wife could not stand it as it makes noise every single minute. I ended up taking it to work, where my coworkers got made because of its noise. So now it sits on my desk unpowered until I can get my own home office where I am the only one to hear it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great conversation piece May 1, 2012

By B. Fitzgerald

I first saw one of these clocks on a trip years ago, I've been looking for one since then. I found mine, ordered it and since it arrived it hasn't missed a beat.
It never fails to attract attention and what can I say I love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A real conversation piece. January 11, 2009

By Eric A. James

The Pin Clock idea is really great. It is a definite conversation piece. It's only short comings are that it is noisy and appears to be made out of relatively cheap parts; which makes me concerned about the longevity of the device.
