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?

Overkill is my style, and I've got the hobby picked up. I'll have to look for a HA speaker that meets my criteria (private, decent quality/price/eco-mode). I like your idea for the button/switch. I've been manually tracking my sleep and thinking of switching to a HA button to mark sleep/wake times anyways, so this gives me another good reason to pursue it. Thanks for sharing!

Sonos speakers will miss the mark on price, they're fairly expensive, but have a home assistant integration and can be blocked at the firewall from accessing the internet making them 100% local. I was lucky to get a couple on sale when ikea stopped carrying them and their quality can't be beat.

I'll be on the lookout. Thanks again for the rec!
