HG-042-BK

Overall, once finished the clock is amazing and certainly a real centre piece BUT the installation!!!!! oh my days!! I bought this knowing it was going to be tricky and fiddly and would take time. Even so, on my own with no help at all, it took me 5 hours. 5 hours of frustration, head scratching and a million markings all over the wall. Firstly you NEED pencil, long rigid ruler, a spirit level, blue tack, masking tape and a builders plumb/nail on string. The flimsy cardboard size guide and measure are useless. The little clock dial is tiny and the folding measuring tape once unfolded to full length, bends and bows so by the time you have got it in the right place, the end measurement is way off the mark, which makes positioning numbers for a very big clock face impossible to get accurate. I must have spent an hour or more tenaciously marking out each and every number only to find that when I blue tacked the digits into place they were WAY off. The instructions say to tape the cardboard dial to the centre casing when on the wall and measure from there. DONT!!! The centre casing isnt flat to the wall so when you unfold the measure tape it isnt straight and throws out the entire placement for the numbers. After much swearing and almost chucking the thing in the bin, I took off the centre casing and I taped the cardboard dial directly onto the wall and used bluetack and spirit level to hold the measure tape completely flat and level as I measured around the circle. If I had to do it again (IF) I would make my own guides using a MUCH MUCH bigger circle as a guide and a very long, rigid measure stick. If you want a large clock face then the distance from centre to circumference is hard to keep straight and accurate with bendy tools! The amount of time I wasted marking, sticking it all up with bluetack, taking it down, repeat!! Thank god for blue tack and erasable pencil. My wall looked like a toddler had drawn on it. Once the numbers were in place it was time to set it in motion. Another half hour spent trying to get the hands to work. To begin with they just kept spinning round and wouldnt stay put. When I finally got them to stay in one place, as soon as I adjusted the time, they became loose and dropped down to half six. Time and time again this happened until I got it to work but be warned, the clock hands are very fragile and even now its working, I wouldnt dare accidentally knock them. Lord knows how I#ll dust them! Also, the paint started to flake of the hands as soon as I touched them, so had to go over them with black metal paint to cover the scratches. All in all id give 5/5 for over all appearance but 2/5 for quality of the clock (cheap parts) and 0/5 for ease of assembly.

I really love this in my loving room. Personally I found it a piece of cake to install. Find your wall centre, use the supplied compass and mark your 12 dots on the wall. Place each sponge number on the wall and then the shiny number toppers. Mechanism is clearly going to be fragile so just be gentle. I just put the numbers up as I don't like the writing, just simple clock face. Everyone is going to be different on their skill levels but just get your measurements right is the important bit before you stick because the numbers are very very sticky! If you get it wrong use a hair dryer to warm the glue and restick. Great functional wall art.

Nothing I would change about it. Sticks firmly yet easy to peel without ruining walls. Bigger and bolder than I imagined and absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to it’s longevity, cants at much about that for now

This clock is fabulous, it is not silent though but tick is not very loud so not distracting, I have filled the gaps round the battery pack with cotton wool and I cant hear it at all now. I had read a review that suggested to use blue tac to position numbers before finally sticking to wall and found this very useful. Also I have left the backing papers on as I want to be able to take this with me when I move house. I have used 3M sticky fixers (the sort for hanging hooks that don't leave marks on the wall) and they have stuck it perfectly. Keeps good time. Looks brill.

Great product

Looks amazing but once built up just as I went to put on wall I noticed the “hour hand” has a slight kink in it and can’t find a way to contact seller to discuss a possible refund or exchange. If the hour hand can be changed or exchange the whole unit would be amazing and will rewrite a positive view with 5 stars!

Really happy on the way in transforms my living room wall ; Read in some reviews, that it was quite difficult to measure out ' But I found it easy to assemble after watching the link to utube video Really happy the way in looks.

I've bought mine a month ago and somehow it didn't stick properly the mechanism into the wall and has fallen after 2 weeks ,since then it just stopped working, I actually have to manually set the time and then after 2-3 hours again needs adjustment I am quite disappointed despite the look wich look great but not quite satisfied with the mechanism I completely need to remove it from the wall ,waste of money.

Elegí este reloj poque me gustaba el diseño y guiado por las opiniones de los clientes. El reloj llega bien presentado en una caja y me sorprendió la buena calidad que tiene (mejor que los que había visto en tiendas físicas). Cada número son dos piezas: una pieza de espuma rígida adhesiva que le dá grosor y va pegada a la pared y otra pieza metálica adhesiva que se pega sobre la espuma y da el acabado final. No es díficil de colocar pues el mecanismo va fijado a la pared con un clavo que lleva y los números van pegados. Sin embargo es bastante entretenido. Lleva una plantilla tirando a cutre para colocar los números que como se puede ver en la foto no está del todo alineada. No hay que asustarse como hice yo, pues a la hora de colocarlo tampoco necesita tanta exactitud y la plantilla sirve. En cuanto a la colocación de los números, yo aconsejaría pegar los números de espuma presionando lo justo para que se sujeten a la pared y una vez visto el resultado final ya se puede apretar más. Así si hay que retocar alguno se puede despegar con cuidado porque una vez presionas fuerte contra la pared la fijación es muy resistente. Respecto a la maquinaría, en 15 días no se ha atrasado ni adelantado. Vuelvo a la casa en 2 meses, veré si sigue así. Estoy satisfecho con la compra y lo recomendaría. Dejo una foto de como me ha quedado. Espero que mi opinión haya servido de ayuda.

Sehr schöne Uhr. Gut verarbeitet und lässt sich sehr gut aufhängen. Alles sicher verpackt. Montage war sehr schnell und die Größe ist bestens.

Très contente de mon achat!

Se n’est pas ma première commande de cette horloge j’aime bcp très facile à monter silencieuse très très beau modèle bien grande. C mon 2éme achat pour cause de déménagement. Une fois les chiffres collés c impossible de le re décoller sans les abîmer. Actuellement j’ai la couleur argentée ma nouvelle commande je l’es acheté en noire. Ne pas oublié pour la manipulation c assez fragile. Merci .

Product is nice but the bigger movement is little not straight. Is there any change to get or to buy only this part?
