I bought one of these, and really like it. My main issue would be is the mechanism is a little chunky so I resorted to blue-tacking a dice on the wall towards the bottom of it so that it's flush [1]. The width of a normal sized dice was pretty much perfect to get it sitting "straight" against the wall, without that it would tilt downwards - and that was driving me nuts.
Re. materials & quality - it looks and feels very good to me,
the print is very sharp, it is smooth and well made - no sharp edges or fraying, nothing is peeling off etc. For the price I am very happy. I have no nostalgia for the acorn nor a need for a second clock but would be tempted if I could get away with it in the kitchen.
They must've partnered because I bought mine originally from RetroFied [2] - I saw it mentioned by Neil on an RMC video at the time and thought I must get one for the price (£25).
