Fun clock but do yourself a favor. Take it out to a real clock shop and have them put a decent set of works in it. Costs about $30 but it's worth it to have a clock which actually keeps time. I've owned 10 or 15 of the Snap-on clocks and the works always fail after about a year or so.

Neat clock though.

Notice the position of the hands? The center cheap plastic bushing fails and the hands bind.
