AUDOCRON -- a quartz crystal chime clock.
|
|
Just touch to hear the chimes tell time.
Activated by your touch, AUDOCRON softly & sweetly chimes the time to the minute.
AUDOCRON's main functionality is to automatically chime the hour, and to chime a "ding-dong" on the half hour -- a pleasant, noninvasive, delightful reminder.
With each chime, AUDOCRON emits a band of light (like a space ship taking lifting off).
It's charm is hard to define. It is music-box-like yet modern. It is mysterious yet simple. It goes well in both contemporary, and traditional settings. Both men and women love it. A conversation piece that makes adults want to giggle.
Your factory direct price is $39 for Chinese Chrome import.
Attention: The new version of the Audocron is being manufactured by another company and made in China under ChronoArt license (i.e. we get a royalty). The new company will warranty and service the new Chinese version. Chrono-Art will continue to service the original version. Below is a good summary of the differences between the original and new version. This Chinese version is a complete redesign. It looks almost identical but it has many new features.

Audocron Chime Clock Instructions in pdf
There were three version of this clock. The Serial Prefix on the bottom of the clock indicates the version.
Oldest "A" Version "N" Version "LX" Version Newest
Sometimes repairs where done and new electronics were installed but the serial number prefix was not changed on the bottom. Because of this you may want to download yours and the newer versions. All three versions set the time differently. The two oldest are large files. Sorry.
