I purchased this "pocket watch" with the intent of wearing it as a necklace, by simply removing the clip attached and putting it on a chain. It's extremely cute, measures about 1 1/2 inches by 1 inch. I've had it for about 14 months now, and it's still working like a charm. It keeps time, and I haven't had to change the battery or anything. The metal hasn't tarnished, and the painting on the wings and eyes is in perfect condition. The watch is very durable, but I'd still be gentle when clicking the ears together to open the wings, as one of my wings is a tad bit out of alignment. Also, beware that the back of the metal does become extremely scratched (although I don't mind it) That's about all there is to say about this product, I'd repurchase without a second thought if something were to happen to my little guy!
