I purchased this clock for my office to have a more modern look and does it ever. I expanded the numbers to create a slightly larger clock (as it is do it your self) The package it comes in is small and neat, the instructions are clear and it's quite easy to mount. 9/10 people that come into the office comment on the clock or ask where I purchased it. It seems so popular that I have actually contacted the manufacturer and will begin selling these and a few of their other wall clocks, they are really nice and keep time very well, the brushed aluminium finish is a nice touch as well.

The nice thing about the clock is that you can space the numbers farther or closer to the hands depending on the space. Unfortunately the adhesive numbers and tick marks were larger than I expected so it didn't work for me. The tick marks are 3 1/2 inches long, which would have just looked strange on my wall. The metal ticks and numbers are attached to foam that's about an inch thick. Ultimately it doesn't look nearly as good as I had expected from the photo.

This clock really gives a fantastic view especially if your background paint is dark. The installation is not that hard but you need to be careful as if the numbers stick on the wall they will be difficult to remove. Put in mind that the heart which contains the hands requires screw or nail.

Great clock, looks fantastic on the wall. The only suggestion to someone who buys it - follow printed guide to the letter and pay close attention to the spacing of characters, for example 12 is not centered on the provided grid but should be moved more to the left to look centered on the wall. Otherwise a great product.

I'm surprised that this turned out well on our wall as it did. We like the modern art design of it and it was completely adjustable on the size that I wanted it to be. The double sided tape is really strong so don't push the numbers and tick-marks hard on the wall until you're sure of placement. I also recommend that you avoid contact with the clock portion as much as possible and be extra careful when moving that unit around. I believe that doing so helped with keeping the quality of the clock and the time.

I bought this and put it on a circle Ikea mirror! Looks fantastic. I used velcro for the hand mechanism to stick on the mirror.

Though I wouldn't say this clock is perfect, I still love it. In all of the pictures it is shown in a traditional layout, which is how I ended up laying mine out too. However, you can lay it out in any number of pattern (ie Oval, Square, Rectangle, Heart) that you desire and still have it look good.

The product description is not that great so here is what I received: The numbers and tick-marks are big... about 3.5 inches tall (and the 12 I laid out 3.5 inches wide) and 3/4 inch thick. Actual metal face on the numbers with a brushed aluminum appearance. Clock body is chrome and the hands are almost a polished aluminum appearance. So basically you end up with three different metallic textures (though all very close in color). The numbers are on a black foam board with adhesive tape already attached. The clock body is hung by a nail or screw (neither included). They give you a basic template for clock body, screw/nail, and hour radii.

The clock hands are delicate (so keep the box if you think you would want to keep the clock in the even of a relocation). The number faces are slightly delicate. I slightly bent the "6" a little when pressing it on the wall. I would have prefered the numbers had a smooth or plastic back surface to the foam with adhesive squares included vs already installed. I don't trust the adhesive not to destroy the foam or my wall when trying to remove/relocate the clock. I used 3M Command strips to mount them since I knew they came off the wall easily... however, I am just waiting for one of them to let go of the wax paper protecting the adhesive included on the number. It should come with some verbal instructions/suggestion on how to lay out the numbers... not hard to figure out but would have nice with suggestions on width of the "12" since it is a "1" and a "2" as individual pieces, etc. There is no mounting hardware included for the clock body and the black foam circle in the box isn't intended for mounting (though that would have been a good idea too) and shouldn't be removed from the box otherwise you won't have a useful box to transport your clock.

Overall, again, love the clock!

I got a lot of good comments from colleagues since I put it on the wall of my office. The only concern I have is whether I can take it off from the wall when I leave the company, whether it will damage the wall. We will see. esides that, it's wonderful!!

I am very impressed with this clock, it looks beautiful on my wall! It was easy to put up came with great instructions, overall extremely impressed. Buy this if your looking for something fun, unique, and modern!!

This is a very modern wall clock that each piece gets attached to the wall separately. If you decorate with sleek lines and modern furniture, this clock is the perfect accent to any room.
