I eyed this clock for months and finally bit the bullet and ordered, even though it was now $900+ when it was less than $800 at one point last winter. I received only to find the stone face had a crack that ran from the top of the clock to the bottom and was cracked through, front to back. The clock didn't work either. When I tried to set the clock with the dial on the motor supply, both hands moved together. I set the clock manually and while the motor worked, the hands hung up on each other and moved together instead of independently, so it didn't keep time at all. Just unbelievable for a clock that is said to be $1,200+ retail. It's pretty and unique, but cracked and doesn't perform it's only function/purpose...? I have no words.
