This is an excellent product, which arrived almost instantaneously! The price is very good, as well
The works are not very well made. I have another of the same and so far at each battery change something went wrong with the works. It would tic but the time would not change. This happened twice. The company did repair the clock but be prepared to spend money as this is a heavy clock to ship back to them. Save all you receipts.
This clock could have been complicated to set up, but it was not because the manufacturer had done all the difficult parts. At the back of the clock is a small digital clock powered by a small flat disk battery. The digital clock already had its battery and was preset for both time and date. The date is important because the clock is supposed to automatically reset when we switch between Savings and Daylight times. The digital clock needed only to be told what time zone it is in. Do that before putting two AA batteries into the large clock. When you install the two AA batteries, the hands start circling until the clock gets to the right time. Probably, once the battery in the small digital clock runs down, one will have to replace it and reset the little digital clock on the back. There are instructions in the box for that. This is not an atomic clock. (We never get the satellite that sends that information even if we mount a clock in the window.)
The face has large easy to read numbers and a sweep second hand. One can even see the little lines between the numbers in order to tell the difference, say, between 5:22 and 5:24.
Theoretically it should reset at the switchover from Daylight to Standard time. If it doesn't, I will take off a star.
AFTER SWITCHOVER:
I am of two minds as to whether I should remove one star. It did not update when Standard Time started. On the other hand, it turned out the year in the little digital clock on the back was 2010 instead of 2009. Then, I foolishly forgot to remove the AA batteries before my effort to correct this. So I, myself, messed up which led to the clock resetting itself wrong even though the little digital clock was correct. Fortunately the main clock can be manually set so all is well.
Just received the clock and was presently suprised. The quality is great.
The clock is a made of metal and is copper with a brown burish on it.
It looks very rich. Great size. Great deal for the money.
