These precision timepieces can be programmed to countdown to zero and chime, or to strike its chime repeatedly at any set interval. In the alarm clock or countdown timer modes, the Clock's chime gradually increases through a pre-programmed 10 minute progression (shown on the right). It can also be set to chime once every hour on the hour as a 'mindfulness chime.'

The Digital Zen Clock runs on 2 AA batteries (not included), and it has a lighted digital display (lit full-time when plugged in with the included AC jack). This Digital Zen Clock is the "E Tone" chime model in solid maple and comes with a 30 page booklet detailing its many uses and harmonic design.
