Kikkerland Big Wheel Revolving Wall Clock

Me encanto

Great

Very happy with this clock. Unique looking, the gears actually move and it’s silent.

Only some of the gears move noticeably, but that makes sense. I find it to be reasonably quiet. It does stick out quite far from the wall, but I don't mind that, since I can view the workings from the side, too. I found the gears to be a matte silver rather than the white in the original product image; maybe it's a matter of lighting. A thoroughly lovable novelty. My one complaint is that the rim is not stainless as one reviewer said, nor is it nickel plated: It's ordinary polished steel, and I have already spotted a few tiny flecks of rust on the back of the rim. Iron can be such a lousy metal. Anyway, it does LOOK like it's nickel plated, but as the description of "nickel" usually implies actual nickel plating I would like amazon to update the color to "polished steel", since actual nickel plating serves the important function of fending off rust, which this clock could have a problem with if it were kept in, say, a bathroom or a garage. Also, although I bought the clock once it had fallen to $60 from $97.50, the price still seems steep given that most of the clock is plastic, and the thin gauge metal rim is made of the cheapest metal on earth. The moving mechanisms though, seem to be good quality.

I love this clock. It is in my classroom and students feel compelled to figure it out. And it is in theme with my STEAM lessons. I have had it for three years and it is still keeping accurate time. Needs a new set of batteries about once a year, as expected. It has light plastic ring gears and a strong, metal housing that make it durable but not too heavy to hang without wall anchors.
