Seiko’s QXM574BRH was the yearly Special Collector’s Edition Melodies in Motion clock for 2017, available exclusively at Sam’s Club. This year’s edition featured the same “dancing dial” movement as other post-2012 “new age” models but with a different, distinct dial. With a shape inspired by Rhythm’s popular “Encore” series of clocks, the numerals are enclosed in their own individual ovals. As the hour approaches or the demonstration is activated, the 6-piece dial and 3 round figurines come to life as they dance along to the tune of one of 24 total melodies. 6 of these 24 melodies are popular songs from the 1970s, which are hard to find on musical clocks nowadays due to strict copyright laws. Below the dial is a decorative rotating pendulum adorned with Swarovski crystals that rotates continuously.
Notes: This clock is in amazing shape and works like a charm…it’s very satisfying to watch! I believe that this was the first, original version of Seiko’s popular “Glittering Starry Night” Melodies in Motion clock with different melodies. Other than a few scuffs around the frame from storage, as shown in the photos, it looks great. It will come double boxed inside of its original box, which includes its original sticker and paperwork. Check out the photos and the video for a closer look, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
