Yours or theirs? Ok, so I found this on Houzz.com, but on the same page is an ad for this one… by a firm claiming it’s won awards for them:

To operate with 24 hour mode would require some additional words (thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four) Which could be consolidated as the words 'thirteen', 'fifteen' and 'twenty' placed before the hour words . So the display at 15:25 would say "It Is Twenty Five Past Fifteen", or at 16:25 it would say "It is Twenty Five Past Six Teen" Hmm - Thats an interesting thought that may well work. Send me your email to doug@dougswordclock.com and I will have a play with template layouts and send you a sample. regards, Doug Hi Vanessa,

I supply the electronics package and you work with a cabinet maker locally (we can't ship a wall :-) ) to make the wall frame and stencil. The electronics package comes in at about $1400AUD. I think that the Brisbane wall ended up costing a total of about $3000 hi Katie, The pricing for the clock that is a wall is dependent on what type of wall material you use.

I know that importing items into Russia is hard (Customs does not accept deliveries for personal people - only companies) so you micht check with your Customs people to make sure you can import it ok. You can email me directly at doug@dougswordclock.com HI Igor, Thanks for your request – I have looked up the charges for you and the extra shipping would be: DHL – $60 or $40 with Australia Post.
