Product description:
Although it’s actually a functioning quartz clock, it resembles an altimeter used in aircraft. So authentic, this desk clock even fooled a repairman at a leading manufacturer of aircraft altimeters. Features a replica (non-functioning) adjustment knob, glass face and twin pointers. Operates on one AA battery (included). Measures 3.25"dia. x 3.5"l.

The clock would be more unique if the knob on the front of the clock could actually set the time.

Pros
Nifty little clock. Nice desk ornament for the aviator.
Cons
Expensive, all things considered! Looks the part, but I don't know how you would confuse this for a real gauge--maybe across the room, but... Not as detailed as it might look in the picture. Everything on the face is a flat decal, nothing embossed or set back, etc.
General Comments
Get it only if it's on sale.

Looks nice
Cons
The entire works spins within the clock, making it unusable. I have already talked to customer service and have a refund in the works.

Pros
The case was substantial.
Cons
The face of this clock was a big disapointment. It looked like cheap printed paper. The hands were cheap as well. If this were made like an actual altimeter, with a metal or plastic face, better hands, and have the barometer knob actually change the setting, I would pay more and would want such a product.
