Bedford Clock Collection BED1712 Wall Clock with Pendulum & Chimes – Chocolate Wood, 4-Tone Westminster Chime, Quartz Movement
Bedford Clock Collection BED1712 Pendulum Wall Clock – Chocolate Wood with Westminster Chimes
Bring the warmth of a heritage timepiece into a modern home with the Bedford Clock Collection BED1712 Pendulum Wall Clock. This rich, chocolate-wood-finish clock pairs a precision quartz movement with a swinging brass-tone pendulum and a 4-tone Westminster chime on the hour, plus an automatic nighttime silence sensor for quiet sleep — pure heirloom character without the cost or upkeep of a true mechanical clock.
The classic silhouette, glass front cover, and Roman-numeral dial work beautifully in farmhouse, transitional, traditional, study, and library spaces. Hang it above a fireplace, in an entryway, behind a desk, or in a dining room to anchor a gallery wall.

Key Features
- 4-Tone Westminster Chime: Sounds the classic Westminster melody on the hour with a single low chime on the half-hour — the same chime sequence used in heritage grandfather clocks.
- Automatic Night-Silence Sensor: Ambient light sensor automatically silences the chime overnight (typical 11 PM – 7 AM) so the clock stays quiet during sleep.
- Quartz Movement: Battery-powered, precision quartz minute movement keeps accurate time without winding — a fraction of the cost and maintenance of a mechanical clock.
- Decorative Swinging Pendulum: Brass-tone pendulum bob swings rhythmically to evoke the look and feel of a true mechanical heirloom clock.
- Rich Chocolate Wood Finish: Warm, deep brown wood tone pairs naturally with leather, brass, marble, ivory, and library-style décor.
- Roman Numeral Dial & Glass Front: Classic ivory-tone dial with bold Roman numerals; protective glass cover keeps the face clean.
- Reliable, Quiet Tick: Modern step-second movement minimizes audible ticking compared to old-school mechanicals.
- Hangs on a Single Sturdy Nail: Includes mounting hardware; lightweight enough for plaster, drywall (with anchor), and wood-paneled walls.

Care & Maintenance
- Dust the wood case with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid wood-cleaner sprays directly on the case — apply to the cloth first.
- Replace the battery roughly once a year (or whenever the chime weakens) to keep the chime crisp.
- Keep the clock out of direct sunlight to preserve the chocolate wood finish.
- Avoid hanging in damp areas (bathrooms, unfinished basements) — the wood finish prefers stable indoor humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it really chime the Westminster melody?
A: Yes — full 4-tone Westminster chime on the hour, plus a single low chime on the half-hour for the traditional cadence.
Q: Will it keep me awake at night?
A: No. The built-in light sensor silences the chimes when the room is dark, so it stays quiet overnight automatically.
Q: Is it noisy when ticking?
A: The quartz step-second movement is much quieter than a vintage mechanical clock and is well-tolerated in most living and study spaces.
Q: How big is the clock?
A: The BED1712 is a substantial decorative wall clock — confirm exact dimensions on the listing details before deciding on a wall placement above narrow furniture.
Q: Are batteries included?
A: Batteries are typically purchased separately to comply with shipping rules. Refer to the user manual for the exact battery type required.
Q: Is the pendulum decorative or functional?
A: The pendulum swings as a decorative motion driven by the quartz movement — it is not part of the timekeeping mechanism (which is what allows the precision and low maintenance).
