This clock is very pretty, but unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about it. First, it doesn't come with a sufficient hanger. There's a plastic loop at the top of the clock mechanism, but it doesn't seem sturdy enough -- this clock is heavy. I bought a plate hanger and replaced the spring with picture wire. Second, as soon as I took it out of the styrofoam, the metal rim around the edge popped open, and started to separate from the glass. Then, the 2 fell off. When I tried to set the time, the hands were completely loose and wouldn't stay put. Once I'd re-assembled the clock mechanism and put in a fresh battery, it seemed to be working; the next morning I found that the hands had moved for about 6 hours before stopping. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of this product.

Beautiful clock, but I have to agree with much of what the previous reviewer said. I've owned it for about a year and a half. In that time I've re-glued a few tiles and had to replace the clock mechanism (the company sent one for free). The hook does seem flimsy, although mine has held. I also own the thermometer, with similar problems. All in all, they are quite beautiful, but not well made.
