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?

It depends on your budget and location but Seiko makes clocks that meet your requirements:

On the hour, the clock springs to life with motion and melody, playing one of 40 finest-quality sound melodies, each with opening and closing sequences that add theatrical flair. Complete with 22 sparkling crystals dazzle and dance as part of the clock’s magical display. Crafted with crystal glass for clarity and elegance, the Snow Castle Clock features: light sensor to automatically silence melodies and motion in the dark, demonstration button to preview the show anytime, volume control to suit your space,

Thank you for the link! I actually came across these in my research, but I was annoyed they didn't have any sample sounds online, and then my shopping fatigue (which is easy to trigger) kicked in. I'll have to double back once I have more energy because I think you're right, they do seem like a good prospect.
