Impressive clock. I placed it on a soffit, which I describe as a huge rectangle suspended from the ceiling of my finished basement family room.  My home was built in 1930 and has a boiler, which is vented to the basement fireplace chimney. The rectangle/soffit hides the venting pipes. The clock looks fantastic on the soffit. Instead of looking at the rectangle, now I look at the clock which works perfectly in so many ways.
