This is a very attractive clock and arrived basically in good condition.  Unfortunately the clock itself did not work at all, despite trying different batteries.  I was able to buy a new clock works and my talented husband took the whole thing apart, replaced the working mechanism and even had to replace the hands, paint and size them.  When inspecting the old clock mechanism, he said a small wire was broken which couldn't be fixed. So it would never work

I still like the clock but am disappointed that we had to go thru all this to get it to work.  I did not want to go to all the trouble of sending it back because it was the look I was after.
