3D Grandfather Clock Puzzle 777pc

This 777-piece 3-D Grandfather Clock puzzle is more than just a marvelously challenging exercise in puzzle building--it actually tells time!

The clock's long body depicts an idyllic scene from Jan Steen's oil painting Skittle Players at the Inn, which is housed at the National Gallery in London. The large puzzle pieces are made of sturdy, non-toxic foam, and the clock stands just under 3 feet tall (34.75 x 9.5 x 4.5 inches) when assembled. The quartz clock mechanism requires one AA battery for operation. ...Read more
