  • Pros: Very quick delivery, excellent quality

  • Review: We ordered this clock to inset into a wooden propeller from an old plane from Alaska. We only had to chisel slightly to fit the clock perfectly into the hub. It keeps perfect time, looks like an altimeter and is a great conversation piece. Love it!

Interesting Gift

  • By Father in Law from San Antonio TX USA on Monday, May 7, 2012
  • Pros: Good looking and creates interest and conversation
  • Cons: Could use more bells and whistles and moving parts
  • Review: Saw ad and decided to purchase two: one for my Marine pilot son-in-law who is on active duty, and one for my Aeronautical Engineer son-in-law who works for the Department of the Air Force and is very fond of vintage aircraft. This clock will be a reminder of their love of aviation and my love of them.

    I have a real altimeter that I installed in my motorhome for a lark and these two clocks resemble the real thing so well that not many people can tell the difference just by looking.

It's great, but could be better!

  • By Ian from Rural Hall NC USA on Tuesday, February 1, 2011
  • Pros: Works well. Has adjustable alarm. Alarm is loud. Glow in the dark hands.
  • Cons: Does not look like an Altimeter. Could stand up better. Could have more 3D parts.
  • Review: I thought that this would look like a real, operating Altimeter.

    It does not look exactly like a real Altimeter, it has 2D designs that look somewhat real.

    The hands (for the clock part of course) operate wonderfully: they are smooth turning, glow in the dark, time constant, and well-sized.

    The outside of the clock is durable, yet unrealistic in size and shape compared to a real Altimeter, the outside is square.

    Two strips of plastic stand the clock up, it is unstable.

    All in all, it is OK, but if you want a MODEL, I suggest you look at the Sporty's Model Altimer Desk Clock.

I highly recommend

  • By Ron from Lexington Park MD USA on Monday, November 8, 2010
  • Pros: Good look
  • Cons: Little high on price for a simple clock mechanism and plastic. But at least it is made in Canada.
  • Review: I've been working around military aircraft for 27 years. This clock represents the look a real AF altimeter. It is a little on the pricey side, but it is what I was looking for....

Good clock... but...

  • By Stanislav from Enfield, Middlesex England United Kingdom on Monday, July 9, 2012
  • Pros: Good design
  • Cons: Plastics... make look them like a toys.
  • Review: Actually everything is OK with clocks but do not recommend to buy anything if you live in United Kingdom. Here you'll be ripped off completely and two clocks $53.00 + $55 P&P will result as a British rip-off on price of clocks + shipping cost + $20.00 ParcelForce "handling Fee" for the parcel 400 gramms weight. Everything comes up to $143.00.

Very realistic

  • By Bob from Moorpark CA USA on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
  • Pros: True to life design and color
  • Cons: The back of the clock has some complex features I have to design around but it all works out in the end
  • Review: I use these clocks as part of a desktop business card holder. My pilot buddies love them

Not as realistic as I thought

  • By Andrew from Sioux Center IA USA on Wednesday, July 27, 2011
  • Pros: Nice alarm
  • Cons: Not as realistic as it could be
  • Review: It's a decent clock and it looks like an altimeter, but it's not as realistic as I could have hoped. For example, the dials on the side are fake and just printed on, not an actual seperate peice. And there are no adjustment knobs on the front either.

    The alarm is good tho, and it's simple and easy and looks like an altimeter.
