Charming clock! The size is perfect as the face is easy to see though it perhaps would be even better if the face was slightly illuminated. The antique look is very attractive. Although there has been some criticism about the back of the clock because it’s plastic I think it’s very well designed. It has an interesting cut out design which doesn’t look like plastic and is really quite interesting! The birds are very sweet and a perfectly proportioned size for this wonderful little clock. I think some people have mentioned that it makes a tick tick noise but mine is silent. I am  very pleased with this item!
