Just picked up 2 neon clocks from Haddock and I must post a 2 thumbs WAY UP for it. I don't know if you've seen those cheap neon clock at shows but this is NO cheaply made crap ! this is the real thing.
- can stand by itself on a shelf - Battery is included! - comes with a chain to attach it on the wall if the integrated hanger on the back of it isn't to your taste AND THE SCREWS for the chain are also included!
Small things but hey, it's been a while since I've seen such happy details.
i also got one of these clocks, it came like a day after i paid for it and it was packed so well, i couldn't believe the amount of foam, and it's bright and a real sign, not the $19.99 ones from walmart, you will not be dissapointed in this sign.

Thanks guys! I am happy to read this, mostly when you try to make something new, it's always a big question if peole are going to like it or not...so enjoy this unique neon clock!
I received my clock today. Super fast shipping, only 2 days from Quebec to Ontario! The clock came very securely packaged.
I am very happy with Haddock's product. Let me tell you why.
1) For any of you who have ever bought "cheap neon" off e-bay, or discount stores, you were probably disappointed with the dim glow, or the fading of the glow as the unit warmed up. This clock is an industrial unit, with a heavy duty power supply. The neon is super-bright. Pictures don't do it justice.
2) The clock itself is designed to be mounted on the wall, or from a chain attached above it , or it can rest against a window, or sit on a shelf. The feature that allows it to rest against a window (little rubber capped "arms", that stick out from around the exterior perimeter of the clock) is also found on high-end neon fixtures.
3) The clock has a ring of smoked plexi around the outside edge, to diffuse the neon glow of the lettering.
4) The clock face is also surrounded with a very nice detail - a small ring of stainless steel (or brushed aluminum), which further enhances the glow from the interior neon tube around the clock face.
This is a beautiful item that will likely last a lifetime. If you haven't got one yet, hurry! What are you waiting for? The price is very reasonable for what you get, and it's an item Haddock designed specifically for this group. It's not being mass produced and sold everywhere.

I know jack about neon lights - but I just got mine - within 2 business days of paying - and yeah it looks great. Now how to convince the wife that it deserves a better home than behind the furnace .
She loves pins, but this seems to be too much for her...
Another post about the neon clock. This thing is amazing. Excellent quality, well packed. Pascal got my cheque on Monday and the clock arrived Wednesday morning. I don't think he has any left which is too bad as they are amazing!
I forgot to post.. I got mine too last week.. WAY nicer than it could ever look in a picture.. VERY impressive!
