The Bulova B1860 Vanderbilt is a chiming mantel clock with a hardwood case stained in warm walnut. The front has burl accents, and the column caps have gold-tone accents. The two-tone metal dial has Roman numerals and a raised metal bezel. A matching pendulum swings below the dial. A protective glass lens with pin-stripe gold-tone detailing covers the dial.
It uses Bulova's Harmonic II PLUS quartz chiming movement, which plays 20 songs on the hour. You can choose the Westminster Chime with a separate strike that counts each hour. You can also choose 12 traditional songs that play in turn at each hour, or a simple two-note strike that counts each hour. A switch sets a holiday mode, in which six holiday songs play in turn, one each hour.
The chime volume is adjustable. Automatic night silence runs from 11 pm to 7 am. The chime can also be silenced completely or set to play for a full 24 hours. A brushed brass engraving plate is included, and the lens has a recess for the personalization plate.
