This is new in box. This was purchased in Italy from a beautiful world renowned clock shop. These clocks are reliable and well-made. This clock says "in vino veritas" which means "in wine, there is truth". Just pop the battery in, hook on the pendulum, set it to the proper time, place it on the wall, swing the pendulum and walk away🙂 this will be packaged with care and mailed out same business day.
