Karlsson Little Big Time Mini Wall Clock Black - Modern Decorative Clock for Kitchens and Home Decor

I first bought this clock at another retailer about 5 years ago because I enjoyed the faceless look. It held up well for 5 years, until I stupidly changed the time and moved the hands backward rather than clockwise. Completely my fault.The clock is flimsy, but it's not like one is going to carry it around with them every where. Once it's set on the wall, the only time one would have to touch it is to change the battery or adjust the clock for DST. I changed the battery at DST (twice a year), which is why I'm giving this clock 5 stars. It's a bit pricey for being just a clock, but there aren't many like it.A little advice when placing the clock on the wall: don't make the setting screw into the wall so deep as to aim for that "perfect" flush. Allow the clock a little wiggle room to allow for removal easily.Also, when taking down the clock, place an index finger on the clock's center, as this will provide enough stability so the hands aren't moving during removal. Just a little TLC and this clock will last you 5+ years as well.Just never, ever, turn the hands counter-clockwise.Hope this helps.UPDATE 12/7/2012:NOTICE: The image displayed is *NOT* the clock you will receive. The version shown is an older model as the product I received was smaller, its hands about 2" shorter. Please take a closer look at the product image and compare it to the user photo uploaded and you will see how the hands overlap the base on both ends while the photo clearly shows only the hands extend beyond the base.Despite this change, the clock I received is actually better than the one I owned (pictured). The hands are more stable on the base and so far, the clock is doing very well performance wise. The battery case was also updated, removing the back panel the original had for easier battery exchange.Still keeping the 5 star review despite the changes.Please let me know if you have any questions.

this is not a clock, it is a time statement piece, a utilitarian work of modern art for your wall. That being said, it is also reeks of cheap construction. a plastic cup with clock hands that weighs practically nothing is useless to me if a breeze blows it off the wall and the hands get bent into outrageous shapes that will never again return to their simple, straightforward design. When that happens, you pick up the clock, throw it in the trash, and order another one from Amazon, only this time use some double sided tape as part of the installation procedure. Yes, this is the second clock I've bought within a month, and I justified it because the clock is so strikingly beautiful. a true statement piece, but, dang...be careful with it!!

I bought a hand-painted wire spool cap made to be a clock, but the seller didn't provide the clock mechanism. I wanted something that sat on the front so my husband or I didn't have to carve out a place for something in the back. This was a great solution. The hands are flimsy, as others mentioned, but it says very clearly on the packaging not to touch them to change the time, to use the gear in the back. Got it up this weekend and love how it looks. Does the job for now.

It keeps time well (after having it a month), and it looks great. The minute hand is a little longer than I expected, and you have to remember that the sweep of the minute hand will require about an 18" diameter. If the minute hand is pointing directly up, and measuring from the base of the clock...you need 11". Important to know if it may go near the ceiling (as it did in my case).Also, it's a little difficult to mount just right, because if you simply hang it on a nail, the body of the clock will swivel as the minute hand moves towards the 3 or 9. The body is just stamped steel, very lightweight and is thrown off balance by the hands. So I had to go outside...wander the streets until I found an old lead wheel weight, and stick it in the bottom of the clock to give it more weight.Aside from the weight issue...it's a great clock

I bought this clock in addition to decals and picture frames for my wall. It looks beautiful however the cock has never worked since I got it (a few days ago). I have change out the batteries 3 times thinking that maybe it was just the batteries, but still not luck. The hands are very delicate and it just seems like its made cheap. I'm very disappointed after spending $30 for this and it doesn't work.

i had the nextime clock and went through 3 of them. one had hands broken upon arrival. . one was hit by someone moving something. the third just dropped dead. i decided to go with this karlsson mini. it is built the same way as nextime. it is indeed small and not as dramatic as the large model but it is still nice. these hands are very fragile. you must handle with care. since the mini is so much less expensive than the large model, if it breaks i have not lost much.

This is a very stylish clock. I hung it without any of the numbers or other additions that others have described. I really like it's minimalist look on our wall.It was a little tricky to hang. You need to keep the screw head about 1/4 inch from the wall to engage the hook on the clock. Once you do that it is quite secureSome have complained about hands coming off. This is a feather light clock that clearly states in the packaging "don't adjust using the hands." Follow the instructions and there should be no problem.So far it is keeping perfect time.

This is quite beautiful on the wall! I purchased it for one wall but it was too large! So I moved it to a bigger wall - and WOW what an impact it makes. I have always loved clocks without numbers and this one is spectacular. It is keeping perfect time and looks striking! I wish they made a smaller one so I could use it in my other room too!
