Ministry of Silly Walks World Clock (Monty Python)

Poor quality. Gaskets out of place on arrival. To correct clock must be disassembled.

I've ordered this clock twice and returned it twice. Each time there were loose rubber gaskets that had fallen inside the clock face(s). The seller is friendly and responds quickly; however, his advice is to return it back to Amazon and tell them it's their fault for the poor packaging and shipping. Both packages were received from Amazon (a box within a box) in perfect condition with lots of packing materials. ??? It's possible but my belief is that this is a quality and/or packaging issue at the manufacturing level, not something that happened through standard shipping/distribution. I shop extensively through Amazon and have for many years. I rarely encounter any problems that are not resolved by a second reordering. I do think that the clock could be fixed by a handy person and it would probably be worth it if you don't mind risking an ability to return it. The design is great! It's a large size that hangs well and looks wonderful. I might try ordering another one. . .maybe I'll luck out and the third time will be the charm.

It is a huge clock. I made the mistake of not reading the size dimensions before I bought it, and wow I was surprised when the package was delivered. It's a great clock though. Everything works well many months later. Keeps time perfectly.

I was very disappointed with this! I love the design but two of the clocks have the internal seal coming apart which you can see in the display. The finish comes off extremely easily. Each of the clocks keeps about the same time as the others. OK novelty but not the quality I'd expected.

Like other reviews started, the clicked needed to be opened and have the internal lining reglued. Took a Phillips head screwdriver, plyers and some super glue and about 5 minutes, very easy fix.

This product came arrived in horrible shape. The bottom clock was falling out. The rubber seals in 2 of the clocks were not secured to the edges. It is a really cool looking item for our "English Pub" we are decorating in our home so I did not return it. Thankfully my husband is very handy and has spent days fixing it.

It's large! It's fantastic. IT'S. Silly The bottom of one clock face is cut off. And very noticeable. I give it three stars for 3 good clock faces. Correction. The gasket surrounding the clock face slipped. I took it apart and fixed it! Absolutely smashing.

The idea of this is wonderful, and I will state that this was one of the most awesome gifts I've ever received. The problem is the construction of the clock. Whoever built it did not properly mount the clocks. There are eight holes in the back ring. Four are for mounting the ring to the wood. The other four are to be mounted to the clock itself, thus assuring the clocks don't fall out. It arrived with two of the clocks out of the wood. My husband noted that whoever built this actually cut into the forward ring and bent it back to mount. I guess he/she saved the cost of the four screws? I suspect that they didn't actually understand the way to properly use the hardware. So, I recommend the clock for all the reasons of silliness you would purchase it for but can't give five stars to an item that is so poorly constructed. Also there were no mounting screws included, and the mounts themselves are odd. This meant a trip to the hardware store. But I still recommend that anyone looking at this BUY THIS. There are numerous ways to keep the clocks from popping out of the wood, and for about $5 a new clock mechanism was ordered for the one that stopped working. It's totally worth it, just wanted others to know what to do if they encounter issues.

Brilliant clock! Suits us perfectly :-) Really pleased we went for this - lovely design, really sturdy and well made. Nice chrome edging to each clock and pattern detailing on the wood. Amazing price to boot. It is quite large but more of a 'feature' on our landing than an imposing item. Love it, really pleased.

Genial. Era un regalo para un amigo y le ha encantado. Lo mejor... Poder marcar el horario de Burma. xD

Very fast delivery. The clock is great fun and designed to look 'vintage'. Each clock requires an AA battery so make sure you have some ready. The shock element is the size - you need a very strong hook to take the weight and a clear wall space to hang this piece - it's much larger than portrayed and is not a modest item! It's a real talking point though

Badly damaged

A fun piece for my home office. BUT... The packaging is not designed for travel by courier or post - fine for bulk palette distribution and shop storage, but sent individually it was utterly inadequate. By some miracle the clock inside was not damaged, but the state of the box on receipt caused me to think twice before accepting delivery - I made the courier wait whilst I checked it. He wanted to leave, but I said I would contact his boss if he didn't wait. The only gripe I have concerning the clock itself is the smell of the wood stain. From experience I know it will dissipate, but even though the box had many holes from transit, the smell was very strong. I'm going to air it out near an open door for a few days before putting it up in the confined office space.
