Design Toscano MEDIUM GEARS OF TIME CLOCK

A very unique old world looking clock and it works well. Had one for manyyears until my grandson knocked it off the wall and broke it. Fortunately, I was able to get a replacement because they seem to have been discontinued. But it is a very unique clock, perfect for a den or an office.

I have sort of an old world themed room and needed a wall clock. It was really hard to find a really good looking one for a good price though. This one fits the bill! It was a LITTLE out of my budget, but I'm glad I splurged. It looks great! I really love everything about the way it looks. It's also VERY quiet. I have to put my ear right up to it to hear it tick. I'm super sensitive to sounds like clocks ticking at night when I'm trying to sleep, so it was really important that this clock be quiet! It is, so I'm very happy with it. The only thing that I don't like is that the hands are a bit flimsy. They bend easily and you have to bend them back carefully. This was only a problem while it was sitting on my desk though before I hung it up. Obviously, I can't accidentally hit the hands while it's on the wall, so it's fine now and looks great hanging up there. I really hope it never ever falls, though. It's pretty heavy for a clock, so I'm sure some damage would be done. Be sure to secure this clock to the wall very well!

This was out of stock everywhere and then popped back in stock 12/17/12 and though they offered only 1 shipping option it still arrived on 12/24/12 after crossing the country with a cute "please rush in time for Christmas" sticker on it! Needless to say I was overjoyed and so was my wife who received it as a gift. I love that the clock is silent (I HATE clocks that tick) and that it's made from some kind of plaster/cement and seems sturdy. It looks great in our TV room.

I love the style. the color and theme of steam punk is a favorite of mine and I wanted this clock for my office wall as soon as I saw it on another site. it was much more reasonable on amazon and so I bought it. it is a lovely piece BUT the way it was put together is a HUGE disappointment. The hanging hooks on the back pulled right out as soon as my husband hung the clock. It fell from the wall but luckily, didn't break. The screws are very cheap, tiny and shallow and bent, then fell out of the back of the clock. I ran off to lowe's and purchased crazy glue and tried to glue the bracket back onto the clock but it didn't hold the tiny metal piece to the resin. We finally took the clock to Michael's, a local craft store, where the very nice gal carefully drilled deeper holes and reattached the brackets. We finally have it hanging and I love it. I would have given this clock five stars if it had been fitted with quality brackets and hadn't been such a pain to hang. it's a heavy clock and should have had the proper fittings. My husband had thrown out the box it came in, otherwise I would have sent it back for a refund.

Pros: - A great conversation piece - guests often gravitate towards it and comment on how nice it looks - Looks great - my guests say things like "antique yet modern" which is what I was going for. For me, it goes well with my décor which is mainly earthy colours (greens, reddish browns, coppery/brassy metals and pops of red). - Has a heavy sturdy feel - often things look great but feels cheap; this didn't feel cheap to me at all Cons: - There are two openings at the back of the clock on which it needs to hang. This means you'll have to drill 2 screws (replete with wall anchors) into your wall at the same height (so you'll need a level) and at the appropriate distance apart (so you'll need measuring tape) in addition to just having the clock at the right spot on the wall that's aesthetically pleasing. So much to hang a clock?! Essentially, you're running the risk of hanging the clock lopsided (if you drill the 2 screws at different heights) or having to drill a couple times (thereby needing more than just the screws and wall anchors that comes in the package) if your first attempt doesn't have the 2 screws the right distance apart. Now, I'm a girl with a desk job, and I managed to pull this off with relative ease. Still, I imagine a few people out there may have some trouble. - Not the best to tell the time - counterintuitive, I know. It's mainly because of the roman numerals. The roman numerals on the left hand side (i.e. after 6) take up more space than the roman numerals on the right hand side (before 6). So whenever any of the hands are pointing on the right side of the clock, it's difficult to tell what time it is. It wasn't just me but more than one of my guests who stood in front of the clock with the bemused expression of a 5 year old learning how to tell time for the first time. Luckily, that's not what I bought it for - telling time is for my cell phone. - It's small - I knew the measurements of this clock heading into this purchase, so it didn't surprise me when I took it out of the box. Still, this clock would have made much more of a statement if it were at least 6 inches wider/longer. When by itself on a wall, it looks rather lonely. I was prepared for this and paired it with a large mirror with a bronze frame. Still, I'd have preferred just a large clock on the wall. Overall, I gave this product 4 stars because it is a beauty and I bought it far more for it's aesthetic than it's function. It lost the star for me partially because of it's size, but mostly because it would have been nice if I could have more easily told the time with it as well. The ease of installation was neither here nor there for me.

I love this artistic clock! it arrived in a fairly large box and I opened it, thinking it was the size of the clock, however I found another box inside. Opened that box and found the clock tightly and securely packaged. Although the discription does give demintions it did seem smaller than I had hoped. To hang it up was somewhat of a task. It is a bit heavy and you're "blindly" hanging it with your screws on the back. I just measured and marked my wall. Took a moment to do, but nothing too difficult. Your typical clock hanging perhaps. The appearance is definitely what I wanted. I love earth decor and this fit right in with the gears, the globe, and the suns. The ticking can be heard at night but nothing too distracting during normal daily noise. For under $100, this is definitely something that doesn't look cheap, it is sturdy, and it is a conversation piece. I love it.

I'm very happy with this wall clock, from its Steampunk design, to the 3D aspects, to the weathered paint and the overall layout and appearance. It looks even better in person than on Amazon. I also think its better and more valuable looking than its purchase price. I actually think it could/should be sold around 1.5X its current price, but glad it's not! A great find to replace my broken 10-year old Steampunk clock and I like it so much more!

Great clock, unique, detail and coloring as pictured, shipping as promised, solid & heavy, likely tough to hang since to different holes will have to precisely be aligned by approximating w/ trial & error... I ordered the large and recommend the large size if the dimension work with your space since a good portion of this piece is the artistic aspect. Purchased 'used like new- packaging damaged, chipped on top.' Packaging was fine, chip on top as described, but worth the savings since it won't be overwhelmingly obvious on the wall.

Hier geht es weniger um die Funktion der Uhr, als um den dekorativen Effekt. Kurz das Quarzwerk ist solide und läuft zuverlässig. Das faszinierende an der Uhr ist ihr Design. Die vielen verspielten Details, die durchaus auch sinngebende Anordnung der Technik mach Lust sie anzusehen und sich vorzustellen wie sich die Mechanik bewegen sollte. Leider bewegt sich da nichts, da es eher eine Plastik/ Skulptur ist, aber das wird klar in der Beschreibung gesagt. Dennoch könnte ich mir vorstellen, diese Uhr mit bewegten Einzelteilen zu einem kleines Meisterwerk zu machen. Auf Grund der wahrscheinlichen Mini oder gar Einzelproduktion, entstehen denke ich Farbvariationen, so kann man auf dem Foto die Zeiger mit recht deutlichem Unterschied vom Ziffernblatt erkennen. Bei meiner Version war das eher weniger gut möglich, da das Ziffernblatt etwas dunkler ausgefallen ist und die Zeiger Schwarz sind. Aber mit ein bisschen Gespühr für Steampunk hat man schnell eine Lösung gefunden.

Looks amazing! Well made, nicely painted, the gears and mechanical bits look pretty realistic - so, it's not the best clock, (but it's been working ok since I got it out of the box) - I didn't expect it to be a high quality clock, I bought it for the look because it's so unusual and will go with the Steampunkie/vintage/modern look we're aiming for with decor. This clock will definitely be a huge talking and focal point on our feature wall above the fireplace when we move to our new house, can't wait to put it up properly - if I remember I'll put a photo up here.

Prachtige klok, uniek. Werkt perfect. Heel goed verpakte en snelle verzending. Aanrader !!!

I am very happy with this clock. It has a very authentic antiquarian look to it. The colors and textures are very good. And the size looks good too. I really wouldn't want it any larger. Obviously none of the gears or other pieces move. They're just for decoration. But it keeps perfect time. Overall I can't fault it.

This is very nice
