Such a pity. Typically place a grandfather clock at the dead end of a hallway, where it can tick slowly like a languid metronome. Comforting on a silent night. Never fails in a power outage. (One of the reasons I like a mechanical wrist watch.)
I hate quartz watches! The "tick-tick-tick", of a quartz is just cold and sterile. On the other hand, the fine continuous movement of the sweep hand of a mechanical watch, is alive.
I had two very nice Seiko digital watches, but they made no sound at all. I had to give it up because its bracelet wristband would interfere with my typing on my computer keyboard.
