Clocks with an hourly chime? (lemmy.ml)

I started using the hourly chime on my wrist watch and found it helps ground me. The trouble is the chime can be disruptive at night, and it's tedious to turn it on and off every day. I'm hoping to find a clock (not a wrist watch)-- of decent build quality-- with an adjustable chime (volume and active window). I don't care if the clock mechanisms are mechanical or not, so long as the chime is pleasant.

I'm struggling to get satisfying web-search results, but I thought others with ADHD may already have a similar solution. Anyone have a clock with a chime you'd recommend?

There's a line of clocks where each hour is a different bird and the chime at each hour is what that bird sounds like. It has a light sensor to control its volume so at night it's very quiet, never gonna ~~give~~ wake you up. Completely analog, for better and for worse.

It's not adjustable so I'm not sure it's a perfect fit, but it's lovely. They've been around for ages, I had one since I was a kid, I'm surprised they're still available.

Edit: it does tick like most analog clocks, which could be a deal breaker with ADHD. I know it's sometimes a bother for me.

Whoa, this is a trip down memory lane. My grandma had this clock (and probably ADHD). idk if it'll fit the look of our place, but I like the idea and I appreciate your recommendation.

I bet you can take the back off and put whatever you want in there for the clock face.
