This is a review for the "Large" version - and it really is big at about two feet tall and almost as wide.Beautiful looking thing from a distance, but up close the paint job on the one I received was a bit rough, particularly around the Roman numerals. You do need to be pretty close to see this however.There'a small, cheap-looking electric movement driving the hands and the battery slots in without a cover - which makes me question how suitable this would be for outdoor use. The battery is only accessible from the back and the movement is actually recessed quite deeply into the moulding.On the back there are two fixings to slot screwheads into. Each fixing is attached to the resin moulding with three small screws. It doesn't look very robust but I haven't actually hung it yet. I know where I want it to go but it's heavy, is going to need some exact drilling to line up the two fixing points and is going to have to be removed every time the battery has to be replaced. Re-hanging something this size without help is going to be like a Krypton Factor challenge.I'd have been a lot happier to have had a chain to hang it with, which is a lot more forgiving if you have to keep taking it off the wall for the battery, and I may yet try to mod something like that onto it. Alternatively, I might put three or four small brass brackets on the wall and "rest" the clock on top of them - done right it would even fit with the Steampunk motif.Would I recommend it? It's impressive to look at but the relative inaccessibility of the battery and the awkward hanging arrangement have definitely taken the shine off for me.

This is one huge chunk of clock! It is over 2 feet long and almost as wide and weighs over 18lbs! My husband said he would fix it to a piece of wood first and then fix that to the wall as he wouldn't trust the two small holes in the back to hold the clock onto wall screws, and it would certainly do someone some damage if it fell.It is a fantasy "Steampunk" clock made by Toscana, who are more widely known for making indoor and outdoor statuary from classical figures to angels and fairies--so this is quite a change for them to produce something Industrial-looking.The clock is made of resin and crushed stone and then hand painted in earthy and metallic tones. There is a clock dial with fretwork hands and Roman numerals and the tick is (to my ears) silent as it runs on an AA battery (not supplied).Then there are two suns, a globe, and an assortment of gears and cogs--none of these have any purpose except decoration as nothing moves, which is a great shame.This is a very macho piece. It would suit a bar area or very sheltered BBQ/patio or in an apartment in an old factory building. I don't think it would often be a woman's choice of furnishing.I would give it a higher rating if it had been presented in an attractive box instead of a brown cardboard one, and if the battery and wall fixings had been supplied OR if it had been a third of the price--it really doesn't look classy or expensive I'm afraid.
