The picture shown for the item it a lie. It's not rustic looking at all, but actually a very shiny silver when you get it. I also found it difficult to get watch open. I would press the button very hard, and only then would it pop open. The other watch my boyfriend had only required a little force to get the latch to unhook. The carved memento was the only thing that turned out right. The only thing I want to know is if the clock is actually battery powered, because if it is, it doesn't look like the back is coming off anytime soon.
