In general, the clock is quite chic. Pulled punched plate - well finished. Unfortunately with cheap China factory and awful plastic pointers. Only good: the creeping second and no ticking. After a few weeks of operation, the clock stopped every now and then stand. Complaints easily on Amazon. Now have a Lemnos "Carved Arabic" clock - even simple work, but runs well and still looks a bit more stylish from. Had I expected more here.
