Original Listing Description

This is a beautiful Franklin Mint "Royal Geographic Society Millennium Clock" in search of a new home! This clock is selling elsewhere on eBay asking twice the price. I'm asking less not because of a quality issue, but rather we are downsizing and I am hoping to find it a new owner soon! Official details and description are below, but a few notes: - The clock's wind up mechanism works. Tested recently and has a lovely soft tick. - There is a digital component on the base that we haven't used. It needs new batteries. - The clock and glass dome are both in great condition with minimal signs of wear. There are no obvious scratches or marks I can see. - It weighs about 8lbs and is around 13" tall. ** Please look closely at the photographs and ask me before you buy about anything you see or don't see. I am selling this clock as is and do not accept returns. If you are unsure about something in the pictures or have questions, please ask before you bid. I'm happy to answer anything I can, but cannot accept returns, especially for something we could have resolved beforehand! Thank you for understanding! ** --- More official details! --- - LIMITED EDITION, with animated features of a rotating Earth and Moon. The earth rotates in a 24-hour cycle and the moon revolves around the earth. - This Franklin Mint Royal Geographical Society Millennium Clock is fitted with a solid brass 8-day wind-up movement created exclusively by Hermle & Sohn of Germany and consists of a cobalt blue glass earth-globe accented with 24 karat gold, a satellite moon of blue lace agate and a time band which revolves with the moon as it circles the globe. - It also contains a battery operated digital display that counts down the days to the year 2000 and can be re-set to display the month, day and year. - The clock is embellished with richly engraved plates and rests on columns of genuine marble accented with 24 k gold. The entire work is mounted in a clear glass dome. - This limited-edition Millennium Clock from the Franklin Mint was commissioned by the Royal Geographic Society of Great Britain.
