Positives: numbers and hands (hours / minutes) form a huge contrast to the white dial.
Negatives: Very short second hand! The acts even shorter than might be expected on the pictures in kind.
Neutral: The clock is ticking. Every Second. And every 10 seconds and ticking even the minute hand (because he then moves a small step). The ticking is in the kitchen at "normal" kitchen not really hear (I had been close to the ear with the clock be). But if you have no background noise, then you can hear it from 2 meters away. Definitely not suitable for this clock to hang over the bed. Of sleep is then impossible.
I bought it to replace the kitchen clock and because it makes a very good figure and the ticking does not bother me there. If they hold out now for more than 2 years and 4 months (the black model 2012 had since damning judgments - Check out their reviews at times - get) and not by 4 clock at night then forever stops, then she gets the 5 . Stern by me.
