This is a wedding present for my grandson and his future bride. I was hesitant about ordering sight unseen, but when I received the item I was very pleased. It is beautiful.

I actually bought this product as a Valentine's gift for my husband. Yes! A clock, which he absolutely loves. He is building a wooden clock from scratch as a new hobby and I thought that seeing a finished working 'skeleton' model would intrigue him. He can compare the working gears with the wooden counterparts that he is making but I did have to insist he not take the new clock apart. We put the clock in his office at work where it constantly gets attention and praise. It keeps time beautifully too!

Clock is beautiful but has some of its peices made of plastic. Was delivered very quickly, and it came with a small glue backed label.

Very nice item, beautifully made. I was very happy with this purchase and would order again from the same company. My only wish was that the clear cover part of the clock was glass instead of plastic. I would be willing to pay more for this item if so. I know this is not something that the Seller can address but is up to Bulova.

Clock arrived on schedule and in *mostly* good condition. A scratch across the plastic front panel was disconcerting and the pendulum mechanism had a broken piece.

Note carefully that it is described with plastic parts. This is very true. The plastic is akin to model plane parts, painted with silver compound. Which didn't stick well. In other words, the white-colored plastic shows where the paint wasn't applied well.

I didn't realize the front panel was plastic. Grrr.

But the wood is real and the clock keeps good time.

Use care assembling it--yes, it does require some assembly. Anyway be careful with the litte gizmo attaching the round penduleum to the shaft. It was bent nearly in two pieces. Not by me.

Over all, I still liked it but People, It is not, I repeat not worth the money it cost.

It's a gift for my friend. He likes it very much. The clock is much more beautiful
than the picture.
