I love the look of this clock over my mantle. It has the Nantucket look I am trying to achieve and is a really nice size. The only negative is that the second hand does not quite go to the position when telling time. After trying to adjust the hand I realized that the problem is due to the oval shape of the clock making the second hand appear off. If you block out the numbers in your head the hands are accurate and you can see that the timing is precise.
