Our wall clock in our living room started acting weird after 10 years of hard work so we decided to get a new one. Before buying a new expensive wall clock, our old one started working again (magic) so we decided to get an inexpensive one just in case. I came across the Chaney Instruments Black Matte Clock on Amazon for a great price so I decided to buy it. To my surprise this clock is so much bigger and more elegant than pictured. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's a lot thicker than most regular wall clocks which gives it a very expensive look. The sides are structured (in steel) like "crown moldings" of a ceiling which makes it look so much grander than ordinary wall clocks. Comes in a very nice box which is great for gifting. Highly recommend this beautiful wall clock!
Edit: Well, it's been a year since we started using this clock and no complains so far. Works great, looks great and the old folks at home can easily tell the time up on the wall. :) Have not changed the battery yet, still on the first battery (1xAA) installed a year ago. When I bought it back in November 2009, it was only $12.33 tax included! Such an amazing price, wish I had gotten a couple more. But even at $39.99, I think it's still worth it.
