Good overall product, could improve on little things

the standalone 2 face clocks are of decent quality- both having metal framing, simple thin metal hour/minute hands, and glass face- however, the improvement could be had on the housing of where the 2 clocks attach. It feels like a cheaper plastic rim (albeit, substantially built, considering its function), but i would have loved to have seen an overall metal housing, since the back plate that mounts to the wall is already metal anyway. The 2 clocks attach to the housing via 4 "cornered" placed circular magnets, strong enough that a light bump of someone taller would not dislodge the clocks. the mechanism itself was, at first, okay, but as the room quieted and i heard the ticking, it began to annoy me. but, that is not a fault of the clock itself. i had to really work to get the batteries (1 AA) placed in at the same time so that the ticking aligned with each other- else i had, what sounded like a murmured heartbeat, ie. tick (1st clock) tick (2nd clock), tock (1st clock) tock (2nd clock). other than those points, the battery mechanism both had covers, so that was nice to see. my plastic framing came with a scuff, but that's not all to visible once the clock is mounted high, so no big deal.wall mounting- surprised to see the setup on this one. the clock comes with a square metal plate that has 4 cornered small knobs that function the same way a screw into the wall, leaving an 1/8 inch exposed, so that the clock could hang on it. instead, the plate with the knobs is screwed on the wall, and the clock is then mounted onto the plate. not bad considering that i prefer the extra support since the clock is basically unevenly weighted where the 2 faces are held.overall a decent railroad clock- i'm not sure if i'd pay near $100 for it again, but certainly worth more then the current $20ish mostly plastic one otherwise available at the unnamed swedish furniture store.ah, the face size is also very nice! upon walking into the house and looking up the stairs, one can certainly discern the modern simplicity of this one!

Pros
  • Clock: The high-quality Quartz movement for precise time, integrated movement back cover, protect the movement, extend the service life. Battery powered, Low consumption, require 2 AA zinc carbon battery (not included) only.
Cons
  • The clock's double-sided function may lead to confusion when trying to read the time from a distance, especially if both faces display different times due to discrepancies in battery life
