They are quite cheaply made, pressed out parts and plates etc but even so they can be serviced and mainsprings replaced. Its hard to imagine why anybody would want one of these but then how many times did people think that about the cheap clocks of 100 years ago? If they had not bothered to repair them or just put them away somewhere we wouldn’t have any to admire or repair now. If we had one of these in the house and our grandchildren grew up with it I am sure it would become as valuable to them sentimentally as any other clock. I am already starting to see these being bought in from time to time so definitely get round to look at it as I think they will be becoming more common to the repairer as time goes on and the other thing I like is they run for 31 days, well sometimes
