This is a beautiful piece of functional art
This is a beautiful piece of functional art!  As advertised, it runs silently if you order it without the second hand.  This is a great feature if you plan to hang the clock in a bedroom or anywhere else you don't want to hear constant ticking.  After a couple of days of use, I can say that the clock is very accurate, too.  If you want a piece of art and not just a clock, this is the way to go!
