ALL Mechanical Clocks Sold As-Is Per Statement Below____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Clock Statement (This IS part of the description of this item) All Mechanical Clocks are sold with the knowledge that it will need adjustments or service to function properly.

If you happen to have any issues with the clock after it has arrived to you PLEASE contact me right away so we can get those issues resolved as soon as possible. Please also realize that these clocks are mechanical, and will not keep time the same way a brand new battery operated clock will.
