Bring the theater to your home with Seiko’s amazing QXM123BRH clock, nicknamed “Broadway Showtunes Dropping Dial.” Released in 2004, this clock was truly the star of Seiko’s early Melodies in Motion series lineup. The aesthetically-pleasing design and unusual movement of this clock make it one of the most unique Seiko clocks ever produced, and it is highly sought after by both clock collectors and theater enthusiasts alike. At the top of the hour or when the demonstration button is pressed, the clock dial drops completely down to cover the pendulum, revealing an extraordinarily captivating display of motion. The door in the center opens up, revealing a dancing flute player, while the multicolored LED lights hidden beneath the stained glass windows put on a stunning light show. It plays 6 melodies from various Broadway shows, such as “Phantom Of The Opera” and “West Side Story.” These songs are hard to find on musical clocks, as there haven't been any clocks with showtunes released since 2009 due to copyright issues. The decorative Swarovski crystal pendulum swings continuously.
Notes: This clock is truly a masterpiece…it still blows my mind every time I watch it do its thing. The lights are absolutely mesmerizing. It’s worth noting that you can hear the motor running faintly when the dial and flute player move. It’s normal for this clock—the motor on these models tend to be louder than standard Karakuri clocks because they are doing so much work! There are also a few very small marks around the frame, as shown in the photos. Otherwise, the clock works and performs great! Check all of the photos and watch the video for a better look, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
