    Customers are mixed about the quality of the puzzle. Some mention that it's a beautiful build with cruddy directions.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the accuracy of the puzzle. They mention that it only runs for a few hours before it needs to be rewound, and the gears don't stay aligned. Some say that the clock is not meant for extended use, and that the pendulum will stop after around 10 seconds.

    My 13 year old son and I built this and the build went great, took 4-5 father/son bonding hours over 2 days. It really is an amazing design and the precision of the pieces is incredible. Seems like most of the issues have been covered by other reviews which were helpful to us so I'll only cover one. We had the same problem others had where once we finished the clock it would only run for around 15 seconds. I had a feeling it had to do with the wax and turns out I was right. The directions aren't very clear on how best to apply it or how much to apply. Other reviewers talked about candle wax so we tried dipping q-tips into the pool of molten wax of a large lit candle and applying that to the pieces. As a way of applying wax it works but I wasn't sure if it was too much or too little. Once we finished the build and it was only working for 15 seconds I tried rubbing a candle on the pieces which only made things worse, maybe 5-10 seconds. So heres the solution that solved it and use it with CAUTION... while giving the pendulum a little push every time to keep the clock going there by keeping the escapement in motion, I took a long-nozzle lighter and put the flame on the waxed ends of the escapement through maybe 3 full rotations. BINGO! This thinned out the wax just right. As soon as I pulled the lighter away the clock just kept going... such a satisfying feeling. The clock now runs for about 4 hours every time.While having the flame near the gear I kept it rapidly moving around so it wouldn't stay on any one section too long and possibly cause it to light on fire or melt any of the yellow plastic stops on the metal axles. One nice side benefit of this is if you do it enough you can give the edges a cool charred look. Again, use common sense and don't burn your new clock.
