Antique clocks are not new clocks! A centenary clock may not be perfect, don't expect it to look like new. Color may vary slightly depending on screen settings and minor surface scratches.
The product is in working condition, however, it is not sold as a measuring device, but as a unique vintage artifact and interior item.

Chairish sells clocks only with display as the intended use. The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish. less
