Although the complete housing is made of plastic, it does not look so. The dull edge may be just made of coated metal. At least 2x a year in the transition to the daylight saving time, the clock must be taken in hand, because it's nice that the edge is insensitive to fingerprints. That would pretty unsightly in such a striking clock.
Remove the battery cover, (not supplied) inserted a AA battery and has been running the clock! you do not hear them.
That's very important to me, the ticking of a clock interferes with concentrated work but very. Quietly turn the hands of their rounds.
The dial is divided with 60 strokes, so who wants to can read the exact minute. The 3, 6, 9 and 12 have for ease of recognition time slightly lighter strokes.
Conclusion: A very dominant, large and inaudible clock that looks good especially on a large, free wall.
