I purchased this clock as a reminder of somechildhood memory and a way to round out my office which is done in cat decor. I was amazed at how quickly my order arrived. It was packaged well and undamaged. The dial is easy to read from across the room and the eyes make a gentle ticking sound as they rotate back & forth. I consider it a humorous piece as it is a tad tacky with the fringed eyelashes and 'real' pearl neckless. I'm very pleased with it and my cat sits and stares at the tail going back & forth.
