I am very happy with this clock.  I was not expecting it to look as nice and to be of as good quality as it is for the price.  I wanted a large clock for an large wall in my kitchen, and this one is perfect.  It keeps excellent time with quartz movement.  It does produce a ticking sound each second, but it is quiet and barely noticeable.  It has a black edge, the clock is about 3/8" thick, and there is about a 3/4" gap between the back of the clock and the wall when hung.
