The outside of the box says the difficulty is 'Expert' but if they fixed some issues this set is indeed a medium difficulty, please read on. There are many problemsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • EXCELLENT INTERIOR DISPLAY - This beautiful wooden mechanical clock made of high quality materials will be a great interior decoration. Place it on the walls of your home and watch its pendulum swing gracefully. Works 24 hours in the wind.
