  2. Cool photo choice!

    I've made wall clocks using many different brands, and the majority of them open from the front by removing the plastic/glass face shield. You can usually do this with a small flat tool or screwdriver. Just take your time so you don't scratch the plastic.

    The latest clocks I'm making are all desktop, if anyone wants to see them: www.Clockity.com

  4. I wasn't sure how to dismantle the clock either at first. Hold it in your hands with the clock-face facing you and wiggle the edges until the plastic cover pops out.
