I had this small opening above the fireplace that wouldn't hold the new widescreen TV.  I did some renovations to the fireplace and needed to fill the space.  I love clocks and came across this one.  Since the hole is deep, I wanted something that didn't sit against the back wall.  This clock has a wooden block on the back which keeps it about 1.5 inches away from the wall.  It's perfect in size.  I assumed that since there is no 'second hand' on this clock, the tick - tock sound would be minimal.  It is actually quite loud. 

Pros: nice clock
Cons: the loud ticking sound
