I have this beautiful clock my father (87 years old) given Christmas Eve and he was very happy. The optimal location is perhaps not yet found (the clock is relatively large, hanging works best on the wall and is then best be read). She is tilted by the stand at eye level next to a table lamp, which raises the temperature. The clock has a successful design, the display is large and easy to read. The clock only needs two batteries, not four, as indicated on the package.
