The kit was received in a box with Korean writing on it and nearly got sent back. However inside the instruction book was in English so all is well. I do not understand some of the negative reports for this kit and would urge anyone buying it to take their time and thoroughly digest the instructions before starting to assemble. I had absolutely no problems or set backs with the building and the clock worked perfectly straight away. In fact I was so pleased I took it to pieces and cleaned the small moulding marks of all parts before spraying all the brown pieces a metallic silver. Next I changed the supplied white weight cord for a thin black strong yarn about 8 ft long and made a nice polished weight. Found it needed a weight of 90gms to only just make it tick and thus run at it's slowest. Next was a shaped wood backplate to wall mount it at head height. Don't expect accurate time keeping !! The kit is meant to demonstrate an escapement principle which it does very well. It runs in real time for about 20 minutes with a weight drop of about 6ft. I was surprised to see that the top large dial indicates minutes whereas I was expecting it to show hours. All in all it makes a fine display piece - see attached photo. I would recommend this kit to anyone but do take your time and don't rush.Read full review
