Trade-offs
I have had the clock for about a month. Here is my assessment:<br /><br />Pros. The clock arrived weeks before the predicted arrival date, always nice. I was very surprised that a clock I thought was originating in Budapest (the description says the clock is made to order and takes about a week to produce), arrived in only 8 days after I ordered it. The clock I ordered is the XL (23") Silver model. The packing was nicely done. My initial reaction wasn't wow. I don't know why. The shades of grey and silver are nice and the interlocking arms are well done.<br /><br />Cons. The product description say the clock movement is silent / non ticking - not true. It ticks, but that loud. I also noticed when I was handling the clock during unpacking that I could freely move the clock apparatus that also connects the hands. that means I can change the time by move this piece. Not that much of a problem because once the clock is hung, handling the clock piece is not possible. Another con is that the clock is not very accurate. It would seem that buying an accurate clock piece and securely mounting it would be a priority.<br /><br />Conclusion: It is a unique clock and that is why I bought it. I suppose if I wanted accuracy of the clock movement I would have bought a digital clock. I pondered sending it back. I never send things back but the cost made me expect more. What changed my mind is my wife saw it and loved it, so now I set the clock every week or so.
